Building a better picture, one pixel at a time.
Drawing from the features of two other great HD formats, 1080i and 720p, 1080p provides both high resolution and fast frame rate, delivering an incredibly realistic and vivid picture without the distraction of slightly visible dots and scan lines that form large screen images.
The dots you aren't seeing are pixels, the picture elements or single dots of light that provide the structure of the image on your screen.
At 1080p, over 2 million pixels per frame create an image with more than five times the pixel density of standard DVD for the ultimate viewing experience.* And like 720p, 1080p has a high frame rate of up to 60 frames per second so even fast-moving action displays clearly, optimizing detail.
