TV Resolution Defined:
Television resolution is still misunderstood by consumers, and has not effectively been defined by manufacturers and salespeople. Resolutions such
as vertical lines that intersect to create pixels, or 'picture elements'. The first number represents the horizontal lines and the second represents the
vertical lines; however, the true lines are actually reversed. Vertical lines of resolution are measured from left to right, in a horizontal direction; thus
being named 'Vertical Lines of Resolution'. Confusing, I know... - please click the images below for a visual example:
