hi-res
Pixel-dense, informally speaking
Hi-res is short for high-resolution, describing images, video, or audio with fine detail and clarity.
The term emerged with digital media, where resolution determines quality: The photographer only shoots in hi-res.
It contrasts with lo-res (low-resolution), which appears pixelated or muddy.
Sometimes hyphenated, sometimes not.
