There are now two resolutions that are classified as HD:

1280 x 720

1920 x 1080

The 720 format is a progressive scanned format, that is, the whole image is refreshed with every pass of the screen.

The 1080 format is either interlaced or progressive scanning. Interlaced means that the image is refreshed in two passes of the screen. Pass 1 updates the odd numbered lines of the image and pass two updates the even numbered lines. Each pass is called a field. two fields make a complete frame.

The two formats used for broadcast are 720p and 1080i. They are both full high definition formats. Broadcasters are not currently using 1080p as a signal format.

Local sources such as Bluray, games consoles and computers can also output 1080p. Because the image is refreshed completely on every field, it requires twice the data of a 1080i signal.

A third resolution of 1035 lines was used briefly but has now become a historical format.
