What is High-Definition?

High-definition television, HDTV or simply HD in refers to programs that are broadcast with much better clarity and definition. All digital television programs are made of hundreds of thousands of little dots (pixels) that when combined together make up a frame of the program you’re watching (or indeed the computer you are reading this on.

Obviously, the more pixels you have, the greater the detail the picture can be broadcast in (watched in). Below is a chart showing the different formats currently available.

What resolution?

Standard Definition TVs have 720 x 576 pixels, or 576 lines of 720 pixels.

High Definition TV screens have a lot more, starting with twice as many at 1280 x 720, and then up fivefold to 1920 x 1080 pixels, the more advanced you get.

So the more pixels, the better the resolution and the finer the detail you see in the images.

But what else makes HD give you such amazing picture quality? It’s the difference between a progressive and interlaced signal. Simply, the way the image is written and displayed on the screen.

How does it work?

With an interlaced format, the screen is filled in two stages, with odd lines first and then even lines.

While the movement is so fast the human eye can’t easily see it, you may have experienced a 'flicker' quality.

A progressive signal is more advanced, it writes screen content all at once meaning that you see all the detail on the screen in one go.

The most common HD formats are 720p, 1080i and 1080p. This tells you how detailed the resolution is, and also what screen writing format it uses (‘i’ stands for interlaced and ‘p’ for progressive). 1080p being the most advanced form of High Definition.
