High definition (HD) is a TV revolution. It
combines super sharp images with digital sound
to create a fantastic viewing experience.
It's like when TV changed from black and white to
colour. The era of digital TV has arrived! Our TV

much more, with rich and vivid colours, a picture
so sharp you can see every detail and sound so
clear you'll never miss a word.

With five times more detail than standard TV, the picture is
so clear you’ll see beautiful sets, landscapes and costumes
in all their glory. Action will feel more intense, soaps will
seem more real and documentaries will be even more eye
opening.

Intense colour
HD TV delivers brighter, more vivid colour that brings
everything to life. Dazzling scenery, bright explosions
and vibrant voyages make watching HD TV electrifying.

Fantastic sound
Thanks to high quality Dolby Digital sound, HD TV is a
feast for your ears as well as your eyes. Get drawn into
the action with waves of clear, mesmerising sound.
Whether it's the chink of swords, the latest hit song, or
a hilarious punch line, you'll hear everything perfectly.
