How it's used
People in Hong Kong rarely use the full term 高畫質電視 in casual conversation. Instead, it is almost universally referred to as 高清電視 or simply 高清. Using the full term sounds like reading a technical manual or a formal product advertisement.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the term 4K, which is now the standard expectation for new televisions. If you say 高畫質電視, listeners might assume you are referring to older 1080p technology rather than the latest models.
