Definition: FHD


(Full High Definition) A screen resolution of 1920x1080 pixels, which is the HDTV standard. FHD+ is 2220x1080 pixels. Most TVs over 32" are FHD, and most computer screens are at least FHD.

FHD mean 1080p resolution, not interlaced 1080i (see progressive scan). The "Full HD" and "Full HDTV" designations are used to contrast 1080p TVs and monitors from the lower 720p screens. See FHD+, DTV, 1080p, 4K TV and screen resolution.
