Display Resolution Display Resolution Resolution refers to the number of pixels per inch that a screen can display, and it's the main thing that sets High Definition apart from Standard Definition. All flat panel LCDs and plasmas are what's called "fixed-pixel" displays, which means they use pixels to display an image. HDTVs are quantified by the number of pixels per vertical line — so a TV designated as "720" has 720 vertical pixels, and a TV designated as "1080" has 1080 vertical pixels. TVs with a higher pixel count have a higher resolution, and therefore produce a clearer, more detailed image than those with a lower pixel count.	1080p
Contrast Ratio Contrast Ratio A high contrast ratio provides deep blacks and bright whites. Contrast can vary depending on your viewing environment and lighting conditions. A dark room with minimal lighting will help maximize contrast ratio.	Native: 30,000:1 Dynamic: 1,000,000:1
Display Capability	1080p/1080i/720p/480p
Aspect Ratio Aspect Ratio The term "aspect ratio" describes the relationship between the width and height of a TV or display screen. Traditional displays have an aspect ratio of 4:3, meaning that for every 4 inches of width, there are 3 inches of height. This results in a screen that looks almost like a square. Many newer displays have an aspect ratio of 16:9, so their screens are almost twice as wide as they are tall. Also referred to as "widescreen," 16:9 displays are better suited to widescreen DVDs and HDTV broadcasts. The term "aspect ratio" can also be used to describe the dimensions in which a film or TV program are shot. Traditional broadcasts are usually in 4:3 format, while HDTV broadcasts have an aspect ratio of 16:9.	16:9
