Girl Geek Guide to HD TV

The Basics

 What is HD TV ?

  • HD (High Definition) TV is a digital television system that introduces great quality and resolution. This means very crisp, clear pictures with bright colours and up to five times more detail that standard definition TV.

Do I need a different TV?

  • You will need a TV that is HD ‘ready’. When you buy it make sure it is clearly marked HD ‘ready’.  This won’t turn a standard definition programme into HD. You will only get the full detail of an HD image if the programme is broadcast in HD.
