Wikipedia defines high definition (HD) video as a video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, most commonly at display resolutions of 1280x720 (720p) or 1920x1080 (1080i or 1080p). The difference in video quality between standard and high definition is like the difference between night and day. The images in the standard format seem much more pixelated when comparing to high definition video.
The trailers on www.apple.com/trailers demonstrate the difference between SD and HD video. Given that your computer monitor outputs at 720p or 1080p, the trailers are amazing in quality. I watched the trailers for Cloverfield and Beowulf and would definitely see them now since watching the trailers in HD. Showing movie trailers in high definition makes the movie look very appealing compared to watching it on standard definition. In my mind having movie trailers in HD promotes the movie to a level never seen before.
