Stands for "High Definition." HD describes any video with a resolution greater than standard definition (SD) video. While "high-definition" has a broad scope, it can also refer to a specific HD resolution, such as 1920x1080 pixels .
Before HDTV was introduced in the late 1990s, the most common video resolutions were 640x480 (NTSC) and 720x576 (PAL and SECAM). The NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) format was standard in the U.S. and Japan, while Europe and other parts of the world used PAL (Phase Alternating Line) or SECAM (Sequential Color and Memory). These resolutions became known as "standard definition" (SD) only after "high definition" (HD) was introduced.
When HD devices first hit the market, there were three standard versions:
- 720p - 1280x720 progressive scan
- 1080i - 1920x1080 interlaced
- 1080p - 1920x1080 progressive scan
720p, also called "HD ready," was the standard DVD video format, while 1080i and 1080p, called "Full HD," were most often used HD broadcasts. Since early HD televisions only supported 1080i, the standard HD broadcast format was 1080i. It was not until Blu-ray discs became available that 1080p became standard.
Since "HD" refers to any resolution greater than standard definition, it also encompasses higher resolutions like 4K and 8K. However, to avoid ambiguity, 4K resolution (3840x2160) is typically called Ultra HD or UHD, while HD most often describes 1920x1080 video.

What Is 720p? HD Resolution Explained
Understanding 720p and how it compares to other popular display resolutions.
720p, also known as HD (high definition), is a display resolution measuring 1280 x 720 pixels. Resolution explains how many pixels a display has in width x height format (the more pixels a display has, the sharper its image quality).
You'll sometimes see displays with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 resolution also called HD, but this is officially referred to as 1080p or Full HD (FHD) (opens in new tab) .
720p compares favorably to the old Standard Definition (SD), which is usually around 640 x 480. But with 2K (opens in new tab) and 4K getting more popular, 720p isn't considered very sharp for today's PC monitors (especially not the best gaming monitors ), gaming laptops (opens in new tab) or TVs. If you're buying a monitor (opens in new tab) or shopping for laptops (opens in new tab) , don't settle for anything less than 1080p.
