What is HDTV?

It Stands for High Definition Television; HD is new standard of picture quality which gives you maximum of 1080 horizontal lines of resolution giving you a lifelike viewing experience, with sharper images, more vibrant colors and deeper detail. HDTV is a digital format with a resolution which is more or less twice than that of a conventional Television i.e. CRT or a Rear projection TV. In Simple words numbers of pixels in a HDTV are much higher than a standard definition TV which results in a picture approximately four times better than a standard TV.

Why is it better?

Television pictures are built of pixels. HDTVs provide up to four times better and sharper images because they have more pixels than standard televisions. The flicker rate in HDTVs is faster than a standard TV as a HDTV Pixel is refreshed 60 times per second whereas Standard TV pixel is refreshed 30 times per second, making a HD picture smoother and better.

How do I experience High Definition quality?

Once you bought a HD TV and connected it to next generation DVD Players Called BLU_RAY Players, A Latest Games Console or any other HD source which transmits a High Definition Signal using a HDMI Cable you will be able to see what difference a HDTV can make to your TV viewing experience. The most common devices are players, Gaming Consoles such as Play station 3, Xbox360, up scaling DVD Players, Sky+ HD Boxes and Virgin Media V+ Box.

HDTV - Two Common Types

  • 720p - Most common resolution to be broadcast through UK via SKY+HD, V+ and FREESAT HD. Composes 1280 horizontal x 720 vertical rows of pixels. The ‘p’ stands for progressive rather than interlaced (as with the 1080i).

  • 1080p - This resolution is composed of 1,920 vertical pixels by 1,080 horizontal rows of pixels. This format again used progressive scan and has the same advantages as the 720p technology. The 1080p however is a higher resolution (more lines/rows than the 720p) and therefore capable of producing a sharper and more precise picture.
