video resolution

Display pixel density

Video resolution is the number of pixels displayed on screen, typically expressed as width by height: 1920×1080, 3840×2160.

Higher resolution means more detail and sharper images.

Common standards have shorthand names: 720p and 1080p are HD, 4K is ultra-high definition.

The "p" indicates progressive scan rather than interlaced.
