What is HD?

Let’s assume that everyone is the world doesn’t know what HD stands for. For those who do, you can skip this paragraph. HD simply stands for high definition, sometimes abbreviated as Hi-Def. It refers to a digital television, computer, tablet or mobile screen that has a clear, sharp image and a wide screen format.

What is a Digital Media Player?

To watch HD, you will need some type of set-top box that is required to streams shows and movies to your TV or projector. This would be your digital media player, which allows users to connect to a home network and stream digital media through the use of a remote control, mobile device or voice activation.

The Case for HD

Without getting too technical, HD gives you 5-10 times the amount of resolution as a traditional analog screen television. There are many more pixels (small elements that together make an image) on an HD screen than a traditional analog screen so the image is sharper and the experience is much more realistic.

You can change this manually by clicking the cog wheel and selecting the highest quality option (See image below). You can also permanantly change the settings on your YouTube channel by going into your settings, then clicking 'Playback,' and selecting "Always choose the best quality for my connection and player size."
