Technical characteristics of high definition
The screen HDTV uses a 16:9 aspect ratio. High resolution images (1920 x 1080 pixels or 1280 x 720 pixels) display much more detail compared to analog TV or standard definition (Standard Definition, 720x576 pixels according to the standard PAL or 720x480 pixels for the NTSC standard).
In this case, comparing the total pixels that offers a definition image "standard" versus a High Definition we have the following:
SDTV (Standard Definition):
720x480 pixels, 345,600 total pixels
HDTV (High Definition):
1280x720 pixels: 921,600 pixels total (2.6 times more than SDTV)
1920x1080 Pixels: 2073600 pixels total (6 times more than SDTV)
In the PAL HDTV is about 5 times better than standard definition, compared with the highest definition HDTV.
