First, let us define what HDTV stands for. HDTV or High Definition Television has approximately twice the picture resolution of your standard analog television. This makes the HDTV picture about 6 times sharper and crisper than todays standard definition broadcasts. The gives you a life-like picture that is so clear, you can see each blade of grass on a football field.

Another key difference between SD, or Standard Definition and HDTV is the screen aspect ratio. A Standard Definition Analog Television has an aspect ration of 4:3 where as a High Definition Television has an aspect ratio of 16:9. Since HDTVs have a crisper more defined picture, the significantly reduced ghosting, shadows and dot crawl.

The crisp picture isnt the only characteristic of HDTV, the sound is a key element as well. To be considered HDTV, the programming must be broadcast in Dolby 5.1. Dolby 5.1 with AC-3 technology provides separated channels of CD-quality stereo surround sound. This sound quality with the crisp picture of High-Definition-Television results in an incredible television viewing, and listening, experience.
