720p
Not quite HD
720p is a video resolution standard of 1280 by 720 pixels, where the "p" stands for progressive scan (each frame drawn in sequence rather than interlaced).
It qualifies as HD (high definition) and was once the benchmark for sharp video, though now considered entry-level HD compared to 1080p and 4K: The stream maxed out at 720p on my connection.
