What does high-resolution mean?

My mother tongue is Chinese, so I can not understand the accurate meaning. Could you please tell me if you know? Thanks.

So,resolution is the size of what the graphic card paints on the monitor. Most people today have a display resolution of 800*600 or 1024*768 pixels. High-resolution is most used for values beyond, like 1280*1024 pixels.I hope I could help.Baseman
