What is hd in full?
HD or High Definition has a width of 1280 x 720 pixels (<1 megapixel). HD is also referred to as HD ready and 720p. > HD TV. Full HD. Full HD or FHD is the resolution currently found on most televisions, Blu-ray players, and video content.
The main difference between an HD, FHD, UHD, or 4K television is that the 4K television will have a sharper picture than an HD television.

HD or High Definition has a width of 1280 x 720 pixels (<1 megapixel). HD is also referred to as HD ready and 720p.

Full HD
Full HD or FHD is the resolution currently found on most televisions, Blu-ray players, and video content. The image is 1920 pixels wide and 1080 pixels high (2.07 megapixels). Full HD is also referred to as 1080i and 1080p.
> FHD
Ultra HD
Ultra HD also known as UHD is increasingly popular among televisions, media players and video content. The image resolution is 3840 x 2160 (8.3 megapixels). TVs with Ultra HD resolution display 4 times more pixels than Full HD images.
> UHD
4K
4K has a resolution of 4,096 × 2,160 (8.8 megapixels), a little higher than UHD.
Better resolution at the same image size
A better resolution TV (eg UHD vs FHD) displays a greater number of pixels and allows more details to be displayed on an image of the same size. The materials, the textures, the skin texture of the actors, the backgrounds: everything is richer and more realistic.
At the same diagonal, the higher the definition, the higher the image quality and therefore the more precise and detailed the image. A 4K definition television has 4x more pixels than an HDTV to display the same scene on the same surface. At the same time, the resolution is multiplied by a factor of 2.
A larger image at equal distance
It is the second advantage of switching to a higher definition image: if we increase the number of pixels in the image, we can therefore enjoy a larger image while maintaining the same distance between the screen and the viewers, without however distinguishing the pixels which compose it.
For example, you can switch without fear from a 32-inch (80 cm) 1080p HD television placed 2.5 m from viewers to a 65-inch (164 cm) UHD television, without having to move the sofa back. The image will be much larger and the immersion much better, but the pixels that make up the image will remain invisible to viewers at this distance.
Note: In order to take full advantage of a 4K image, the entire signal transition chain must be capable of encoding, transmitting, receiving, decoding and displaying 4K. In other words, the camera used to record the film must be 4K, the signal transmission is in 4K, the reception (TNT, cable or SAT) can receive 4K, the cables (between box and TV for example) or 4K, the receiver decoding is 4K, the receiver panel is 4K.

HD or High Definition, the new gold standard for image resolution is often being used interchangeably with ‘Full HD’ to describe a product’s image resolution- but it has only led to confusion. Let’s attempt to clear this. The concept of HD has completely changed the level of visual detail and clarity we’ve come to expect from our screens.
Full HD is a term used to denote the resolution of the TV screen. It basically means an image with a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. The measurement of the number of pixels is done by estimating the height and width. So, if a display unit like a TV holds 1920 x 1080p resolution then, it means its height is 1080 pixels and the width is 1920 pixels and the total number of pixels this resolution can carry is 1920 x 1080 = 2073600 pixels. The more the number of pixels, the better picture quality is as the number of pixels together compose a picture on the TV. This resolution is commonly seen in widescreen TVs or monitors with an aspect ratio of 16:9.
On the upper end of the spectrum, there is Ultra HD (UHD or 4K). This image resolution is larger, crisper, and clearer than even 1080p. However, the Ultra HD image resolution hasn’t yet been universally adopted. Why? Although in technical terms “4K” means a horizontal resolution of pixels containing 4096 pixels, there’s no vertical resolution specified for it. So, Ultra HD TV’s are not technically 4K.

The primarily difference between HD Ready resolution and Full HD Resolution refers to the actual image size. HD may refer to 720p or 1080p, but Full HD can only refer to 1080p. On the other hand, the phrase HD Ready refers to just 720p. So, when the term ‘HD Ready’ is used to describe a television or monitor/laptop/PC, it means the device has an image resolution of 720p. The term ‘HD’ may also be used. As such, HD Ready image resolution will contain 720 lines of pixels along the vertical axis, and 1,280 lines of pixels along the horizontal axis thereby making the image is 720 pixels tall and 1,280 pixels wide.
This will results in a total pixel count of 921,600, the lowest image resolution that can be considered as high definition.
