high-resolution

Extremely detailed image

High-resolution describes images, displays, or data with fine detail—more pixels, more data points, more precision.

A high-resolution photograph reveals details invisible in a standard one.

The term applies to screens, cameras, audio recordings, and scientific instruments: The high-resolution scan showed the tumor clearly.

Often hyphenated before nouns, unhyphenated after: high-resolution display but the image is high resolution.
