LCD
LCD or Liquid Crystal Display is technology in which two panes of transparent material are sandwiched together with a screen of liquid-filled pixels between them. Electricity makes each pixel twist on or off, creating the picture.
HDTV
HD stands for High Definition, and refers to a signal showing 1080 and 720 line resolution images. An HDTV is a television capable of displaying an image of this resolution.
LCD and HD
