Hi ive been offered a techwood twp4210 plasma tv and i have a couple of questions can you advise if this is hd ready also how old are they, have also been advised that on start up it shows green sparkles is this serious thanks

The unit was being manufactured in the early to mid 2000's but I believe is not out of production. It is NOT an HDV. Here are the specs for the TV.
