Worth a 1,000 words

Hi.

What "worth a 1,000 words " means in following sentence?

"If A Picture is worth a 1,000 words - How much
is a Holographic Image worth these days"
  

Top answer

It is a proverb: 'A picture is worth a thousand words', which means that one can learn or understand a topic better from an illustration than one can from reading 1000 words about it. The writer of your sentence is using the proverb as a lead-in to his advertising punch: that a hologram is much better than a photograph.
