What is HD?
High definition television (HDTV) is a digital broadcast of television programming with significantly
superior video and audio quality. HDTV offers higher resolution for a sharper picture with fuller, richer
colors and 16:9 wide screen presentation. An HDTV broadcast has up to 1080 lines, resulting in five
times the picture clarity vs. standard definition.
