What is the advantage of 1920 x 1080 full-HD recording?

Images recorded by conventional HD camcorders have only 1,440 horizontal pixels, while
full-HD camcorders have 1,920. In terms of total pixels, conventional HD camcorders
record images with 1.55 million pixels, while those from our full-HD camcorders have
around 2.07 million pixels – about 30 percent more. The result is a level of detail
and resolution that goes beyond anything you've experienced before. And because full­HD recordings contain a vast amount of picture information, they look beautiful not
only on high-definition TVs, but on conventional (standard-definition) TVs as well.
