SkyVue outdoor television screens have a pixel resolution of 1920 x1080, but what does that actually mean?

Pixel resolution is sometimes mistaken for the size of the displayed image, with the assumption that the larger the resolution, the larger the image. There is some validity to that, but pixel resolution more accurately represents the level of detail the image holds.

A pixel, which is short for picture element, is basically the building block of a digital image. It’s generally understood to be the smallest element of a picture you can control. The more pixels, the more detail and the closer the image looks to the real thing.

Outdoor TV screens are described with two figures: the number of columns and the number of rows of pixels creating the display. So a 1920 x 1080 screen like ours has 1,920 columns and 1,080 rows of pixels making up the image – that’s over 2 millions pixels! (2,073,600 to be exact.)

Those dimensions are a standard resolution referred to as 1080 HD, which is also used for HD DVD and Blu-Ray.

SkyVue is the only outdoor television manufacturer to offer only 1080 HD on all its models – Competitors use 1366 x 768 on their 32-inch models. So with SkyVue, you get twice the pixels (over a million more), providing you the sharpest, most detailed display available.
