HD picture quality indicates trained panelists' evaluation of clarity and color accuracy of an high-definition (1080i) signal, such as that from a Blu-ray player, digital-cable box or satellite receiver. A 110-inch (diagonal), 16:9 Da-Lite screen with a matte-white screen fabric was used to display the images. All signals were routed through a HDMI input. Picture-quality scores for HD and SD (standard-definition) aren't directly comparable, because each is capable of a different level of quality. Thus, a very good score for HD indicates a better picture than a very good score for SD.
