What is the horizontal resolution all about?
Horizontal resolution is the number of vertical lines that can be resolved from one side of the screen to the other. In theory, of course, a higher number translates to a more detailed picture. However, the resolution you see on your screen depends on the quality of your video signal source. Resolution specs for typical sources: VHS VCRs and VHS-C camcorders 240 to 280 lines; analog TV broadcasts 330 lines; 8mm camcorders 400 lines; laserdisc players 420 lines; and DVD players 500 lines.
