Resolution, in the sense I'm talking about here, refers to the number of pixels that compose the picture on the TV. A single pixel, or discrete picture element, consists of a tiny dot on the screen. On today's TVs there are between roughly one million (for 720p TVs) to eight million (for 4K Ultra HD TVs) such dots.
Super Bowl XXXVIII was an American football game between the National Football Conference (NFC) champion Carolina Panthers and the American Football Conference (AFC) champion New England Patriots to decide the National Football League (NFL) champion for the 2003 season.
This is the first Super Bowl to be played in California since January of 2003 when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Oakland Raiders 48-21 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego at Super Bowl XXXVII. The last time the Super Bowl took place in the Bay Area was in January 1985 for Super Bowl XIX when the San Francisco 49ers beat the Miami Dolphins 38-16 at Stanford Stadium.
