Line 1:
'''480p''' is the shorthand name for a video display resolution. The ''p'' stands for [[progressive scan]], i.e. non-interlaced, while the ''480'' denotes a vertical resolution of 480 vertical scanning lines, usually with a horizontal resolution of 704 or 720 [[pixel]]s and 4:3 [[Aspect ratio (image)|aspect ratio]] on [[standard-definition television]] (SDTV), or a horizontal resolution of 854 pixels and 16:9 aspect ratio on [[high-definition television]] (HDTV). 480p is not high enough to qualify as HDTV; it is considered [[Enhanced-definition television]] (EDTV). The [[frame rate]] is usually 30 or 60 [[hertz]] and can be given explicitly after the letter. Nintendo's [[Wii]] uses [[EDTV]] resolution, as well as standard [[480i]].
