Most of us know HD video, but actually a few can really understand the meaning of HD (High Definition). HD video (High-definition video) refers to any video system of higher resolution than SD (standard-definition) video, and most commonly involves display resolutions of 1280×720 pixels (720p) or 1920×1080 pixels (1080i/1080p).
