How many lines of resolution is an HDTV capable of?
While lines of resolution is one of many good indicators of a traditional TV’s clarity, HDTVs and monitors are measured a bit differently. A TV picture–any TV picture–is made up of little dots of color called pixels. Like a mosaic the more pieces, the better the picture. Traditional TVs have as many as 211,000 of these little dots, but HDTVs and monitors have as many as 2 million. It’s pretty easy to see why HDTVs look so good.
