IS there a name for res higher than 1920 x 1080?

death_samurai

I mean it's called full HD yet what about 2500 x 1600?

Is that the max res? What name is that?

Btw there are like 40 inch screens with 1920 x 1080 well don't u think that sort of res is a bit small for a 40 incher?

It's like using 1280 x1040 on a 24 inch monitor.

...lol?

40 inch screens use 1920x1080/1200 because it is simply expensive to manufacter that which is not needed. i have never seen a computer monitor over 30 inches, anyways. you must be talking about a TV? even a 50-60 inch TV uses 1920x1080 because thats 1080p, HD! no TV content streams at a higher resolution.

2560x1600 is only for PC montiors, and it is usually not needed unless you have the money to spend on it, it would be quite fun to have a 30 inch monitor.

They're the same thing...

1080 is the MIN res for high definition, that's all....starting point.

Actually, high definition is any resolution higher than 720x480 (or 480p) for NTSC or I think it's 720x576 for PAL regions...

1280x720 is definitely still HD.

Apparently the next step is Quad HD, which has a resolution of 3820x2160. So it will be 2160p..

Sony are bringing out one next month.. for *gulp* $76,583.

^ Yeah I think that's the criteria for HD in NZ at least - 1280x720...

I guess it's the same everywhere..

afaik there are 3 types of HD, 1080i, 720p, 1080p.

Pill Monster · *Last edited by Pill Monster; 10-21-2009 at 13:35.*

Man I thought 20K for a Plasma was bad enough, now it's 70K for a TV.......

who could afford - or would want to pay that kind of money??

actually, TVs consider these resolution to be HD for NTSC regions:
480p
720p
1080i
1080p

480i is what's considered standard definition...

and there is a difference between 40" tv lcd's and pc lcd's..the reason why u see 40" tv's at "only" 1920x1080 is because u dont sit close to a 40" tv like you would a 24" lcd..so for it to look good you sit further back..if you were to sit right up on a 40" lcd and a 24" ull definitely notice a difference

also there is larger HD's then 1080p...1600p for example its just not common yet.
