HDTV Demo

HD Demo Overview

Sometimes you have to see the difference to appreciate it. This site helps people understand the difference between standard and high definition television.

SD vs. HD Comparison

High definition television (hdtv) is simply a tv picture with higher resolution or pixel density than standard definition televisions, often called SDTV or SD. Pixels are little dots of colored light that create the images on our tvs and computer monitors. The more dots of light in a given area of the screen, the sharper the picture. SD tv is typically 480i or 480p video mode. High definition is typically 720p or 1080p.

The illustration above shows the comparative pixel resolution between the different video modes. The video below shows a side-by-side comparison of standard PAL (576i) resolution video and 720p high definition video resolution.
