If you click on the above picture, you can see the super resolution. This is because it is in high-definition.

The highest HDTV resolution is 1920 x 1080 pixels. This is around ten times as many pixels as a standard TV set.
The frame rate for this set usually ends in 'I' or 'P' to announce whether these are interlaced or progressive.
Interlaced display is when a television updates the display twice to show a complete frame.
Progressive display is when a screen updates the image shown only once for each frame of the video.
Progressive displays video at 30 fps and interlaced at 60 fps.
For anything to be watched on the HDTV, a signal is required.
These signals could be acquired from a cable subscription or a satellite service.
