“HD ready”
I still consider it HD lol
Cartoons, absolutely. Live action, 1080p is perfect for 4k TVs without needing 4k stream and it saves GBs.
You and most porn sites.
No one wants to see all the gory details, though - it all happens in the minds fantasy
Personally, I think 4k 60 fps porn is better. You DO get so see the gory details. The stretch marks, moles, defects humans have.
That’s what makes people beautiful, not airbrushed nonsense.
Ugh, ppl have pores and peach fuzz! Its disgusting. --gooners, probably
I still watch 360p on my phone lol.
Which is generally fine on such a small screen.
Standard definition, high definition, full high definition, ultra definition, AI upscaled ultra high definition, nuclear Holocaust definition, stone age definition
Don’t forget enhanced definition.
Enhance.
I remember the 720p vs 1080i wars …
Interlacing is trash, fight me
Whoa there: I said “I remember”, not that interlacing was good.
And interlacing is only "good"for old video games that leveraged its weirdness for blending pixels.
It is terrible as a video format.
Remember when your dvd player had a “progressive scan” button?
Like I could afford a DVD player
720p is still better than 1080i
It still is, but nobody cares anymore. At 16:9 1920x1080 is considered “Full High Definition,” and 3840x2160 (at minimum) is “Ultra High Definition,” at least in terms of their official marketing speak. The latter has mutated to include both 4K and 8K content somehow, apparently because the brainworms in the marketing department ran out of superlatives after “Ultra.”
Mega
MHD sounds like a new type of hallucinogen
Should’ve called 8K Iper High Definition
All about aspect ratio, at a high aspect ratio 720 looks fine on a reasonably sized TV.
Do you know what aspect ratio means?
They should’ve hired tea industry execs. If the tea industry can come up with grades like “Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe”, they can come up with something beyond Ultra High Definition.
Maybe like this:
- High Definition (HD)
- Full High Definition (FHD)
- Ultra High Definition (UHD)
- Very Ultra High Definition (VUHD)
- Special Very Ultra High Definition (SVUHD)
- Full Special Very Ultra High Definition (FSVUHD or SVUHD1, both are acceptable)
Not that these grades would only apply to displays that don’t support picture-in-picture or split screen. Displays with those features (“broken” displays) would use the following equivalent grades instead:
- High Broken Definition (HBD)
- Full High Broken Definition (FHBD)
- Ultra High Broken Definition (UHBD)
- Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (GUHBD)
- Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (SGUHBD)
- Full Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition 1 (FSGUHBD1)
SSG3UIHD
Favourite Goku transformation, underappreciated by most.
We could just use the radio bands, just with definition instead of frequency.
High
Very high
Ultra high
Super high
Extremely high
Tremendously high- T = Television
- IT = Intelligent Television
- HIT = Highly Intelligent Television
- SHIT = Super Highly Intelligent Television
QHD FTW!
What about mode 13, 320x256, 640x256 and 1024x768, my youth!!
What’s higher than ultra? “Godlike?” “Definitionmanjaro?”
remember when vhs only recorded 250 lines? remember when it was 240 by 320, remember when, fuck you…I remembeer when amber and greeen were the only colors…
…and yes, grandpa is pissed about your 256 color gradient…
i still go for 720 all the time because at a certain resolution, you’re just starting to see the pimples, at not extra benefit.
I remember TVs that were “HD compatible” which means they were like 520p, but could downscale an HD signal.
Yeah I had one such 47" “HD Ready” plasma that did 848x480p. The pixels were so large you could see them but 720p content still liked good on it, and DVDs looked even better than they did on an HDTV due to the similar resolution of 720x480 that they output at. They were so much sharper on a display close to their native resolution.
the bitrate of yt 720p sucks
Watching Naruto on a streaming website at 360p 4:3
Remember way back when you found a 480p torrent, and you thought it was good eatin’?
Honestly, In My Opinion, 480p is still completely acceptable for anime and cartoons. Most of that definition is used on the exact same colour blocks so HD doesn’t make s humongous difference. Still nice to have of course, but I don’t hesitate to go 480p if internet is choppy
That’s “put it on a flash drive, shove it up your ass, and smuggle it over the border into north korea” resolution
I haven’t seen that US standard of measurement yet! I didn’t know they do resolution as well.
In my opinion 1920x1080 should be the baseline “standard definition” nowadays.
If its not sports or something where you’re watching a tiny subject on the screen, there is no reason for more than 720p.
I remember when 480p was called Enhanced Definition.
I still have a widescreen ED CRT with an HDMI port in the garage, it’s the best Wii screen ever made.
I don’t mind 720p at all, but I play a lot of old games and usually upscaling to 720p on PlayStation 2 games and stuff makes a tremendous difference.
Anything older, CRT filters. Bloom and interlacing make games like Super Metroid very eerie.
IMO at the same bitrate 720p looks leagues better than 1080p apples to apples. It’s my preferred trick for shitty internet connections since 720p just gets the job done still.
