To be HD ready, an HDTV must have an ATSC tuner, not NTSC.

Nope. From the glossary:
Quote:
HD-ready
Describes a television that is capable of displaying one or both of the prescribed high-definition television formats (720p, 1080i) but is not equipped with the requisite tuner/converter to receive digital signals.

And what I was saying in order to be called a HD Ready TV as opposed to a HD Ready monitor, the set must have one or more NTSC tuners installed.
A TV with one or more ATSC tuners installed would be an integrated TV or HD built-in TV.
Any TV that will accept a HDTV signal is really HDTV compatable. This term has been used largely by manufacturers that have equipment that will receive HDTV signals but display at EDTV resolutions. Your Toshiba is a HD Ready TV. It is also HD compatable because it will accept HD video.
