High Definition video refers to any video (on TV, computer, or disc) that is of higher resolution than standard definition (720px x 480px). High definition has been around since the 1980s; however only recently has it become a house-hold term, due to the decrease costs of HD plasma and LCD television sets, and the government's requirement for all over-the-air TV to be switched to digital on February 17, 2009. Simply put, high definition video is clearer, more vivid, and sharper than standard definition video.
