High Definition is taling about the resolution of picture reproduction. True HD should be 1920 x 1080 resolution. 1080 is the horizontral lines that a TV panel can produce. i is interlace, meaning that it can only use 540 to produce picture in a flip, and then another 540 to produce picture in the next flip. However, there are many TVs claimed that they support HD, which include 1366 x 768, 12xx x 1080. What they do is to compress the 1920 x 1080 signal to their TV resolutions.
