480p
Low resolution video
480p is a video resolution format with 480 horizontal lines displayed progressively (the "p"), as opposed to interlaced scanning.
Standard definition by modern standards, 480p was common for DVDs and early digital broadcasts.
The format persists as a low-bandwidth option for streaming: My connection is slow, so I'm stuck watching in 480p.
