image clarity
How crisp pictures look
Image clarity is the degree to which visual details appear sharp, distinct, and well-defined.
In photography and video, clarity depends on focus, resolution, and absence of blur or distortion.
The term applies to screens, lenses, medical imaging, and any context where visual sharpness matters: The image clarity on the new monitor is remarkable.
Poor lighting or compression can reduce image clarity.
