How can I tell if my computer monitor is high definition?

I want to know if my monitor is high definition. Besides looking at the box it came in or anything like that (because it did not mention HD), what can I watch or download (a trailer, video clip, etc.) to see if my monitor is HD?

1. It should be listed in specs that way. In the back of your User's Guide.
2. Don't know of any clips, but I bet if the box or manuals don't mention HD u don't have it. Also, u could go to co's website or type the name in a search engine and see how all the retailers r describing it. If it's HD the retailers are going to let you know for price, quality, etc. reasons. Sorry no clips, hope this helped anyway.
3. The term High-Definition or HD is actually used for broadcasting. PCs have been "HD" for years! All HD is, is the picture is a certain size. If your monitor can display 1024x768 or above you are in HD! Many HDTVs have a screen made of dots arranged in 1024x480 - this is (sort of) the same as the pixels on your monitor. A modern PC however can often run much higher resolutions, almost double that of TV can. Try www.sky.com/hd for some HD clips
