High
definition television (HDTV) is a high resolution, digital,
wide-screen TV format. A HDTV signal has twice the color
resolution, and imparts a picture that is six times sharper
than that provided by
a traditional analog TV set. HDTV also provides enhanced audio, such as Dolby
Digital. Digital TVs, plasma TVs, & other enhanced sets are not necessarily
HD televisions. Check with a local retailer as you consider the purchase of a
HD capable television. |
|
| An
image displayed on a TV screen is comprised of small, adjacent
rectangles known as pixels. TV resolution refers to the number
of horizontal lines, comprised of pixels, which are displayed
on the TV screen. HDTVs have up to 1080 horizontal lines
- more than twice as many as a normal analog TV set like
the one most likely in your home. The difference in HD picture
and sound is like watching a recorded VHS video tape compared
to a DVD.
