HDTV

HDTV stands for High-definition television and is a digital television system that produces an incredibly clear, vivid picture quality that standard-definition cannot match. In fact, HDTV produces the best television audio and video available to consumers today. HDTVs come in different resolutions: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. These numbers represent how many lines are embedded in the signal, and the letter indicates the type of scan the HDTV uses to display the picture, therefore the higher the number, the higher the resolution. Major Cable providers broadcast high-definition channels that are complimented with an HDTV. Learn more about HDTV.
