HDTV SETUP WIZRD (CONTINUED)

With the progressive

method, every pixel on

the screen is refreshed

simultaneously.

The interlaced method

involves refreshing pixels

in alternation—first the

odd lines and then the

even lines.

What is the screen resolution?

The screen resolution indicates the amount of detail that the picture displays. Resolution is identified by the number of

display lines on the screen. The techniques that an HDTV uses to "paint" the picture on the screen are referred to as

progressive and interlaced.

For example, a resolution of 1080i indicates that the screen shows 1080 lines in an interlaced display, and 480p means

that the screen shows 480 lines in a progressive display.

Note: The screen resolution (1080i, 480p, etc.) is sometimes referred to as the scan rate. The terms are interchangeable.
