HD gaming
Sharp-resolution video games
HD gaming refers to playing video games at high-definition resolution, typically 720p or 1080p, as opposed to standard definition.
The term gained prominence in the mid-2000s with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 console generation, when HD televisions became mainstream: Finally upgraded to HD gaming and the difference is incredible.
Now largely assumed as baseline, with discussion shifting to 4K and beyond.
