image quality
The quality of the visual representation of an image, photo, or video, evaluated according to criteria such as sharpness, resolution, color accuracy, and contrast.
Durch die hohe Auflösung des neuen Fernsehers ist die Bildqualität hervorragend.

This word is a compound of "Bild" (image/picture) and "Qualität" (quality), connected by an "-s-". So it directly describes the quality of an image.
Die Bildqualität dieser alten Fotos ist erstaunlich gut.
The image quality of these old photos is surprisingly good.
Image quality is often described with adjectives like "hoch" (high), "hervorragend" (excellent), or "exzellent" (excellent) when it is good. When it is bad, people use "gering" (low), "schlecht" (bad), or "miserabel" (miserable/terrible).

Common verbs in connection with image quality are "verbessern" (to improve), "optimieren" (to optimize), or "erhöhen" (to increase). You can also say that the image quality "abhängt" (depends) on something.
Man kann die Bildqualität in den Einstellungen der Kamera verbessern.

dissolution / solution / resolution
'die Auflösung' and 'die Bildqualität' can both be important for photos, videos, or screens. Here, 'Auflösung' means the level of detail, often measured in pixels. 'Bildqualität' is broader: it also includes colors, contrast, lighting, and sharpness. Learners may confuse the words because high resolution often contributes to good image quality. But an image can have high resolution and still look bad, for example if it is dark or blurry.
