then what do you consider 480p? beginners HD? lol
I really hate the whole HD terminology anyways. Its utter crap. The TV resolutions are false resolutions to accomidate for piss poor space managment and wasted pixels on TVs versus computer monitors. The sad part is due to the "HD" crapulution computer monitors have been sent on a downward spiral to the same fate TVs have. I really dont understand why the 16:9 resolution even came to be popular. It cuts down verticle space that any film camera can take advantage of but is cut down to fit in the 1920 x 1080 space. The true screen resolutions should be in the 5:3 or 4:3 space which would allow the verticle cut-of to never happen. Trustfully I'm even confused on why TVs are using the 17:9 resolution at least since IMAX uses it. Using 17:9 would mean that the resolution would be 2048 x 1080 or 2K which is exactly half if IMAX's smaller 4K theaters or within scaling of their 4K+ theaters allowing for better scaling of scenes when downscaling footage to lower resolutions.
