| Kyros said: At what point does it become HD? When is pasta al dente, when is it overcooked? What is slow and what is fast driving? People have learned to live with sliding scales. Something is HD when it has a high resolution. 1920*1080 is definitely high resolution, 640*480 definitely isn't. In between you can choose. I say something is HD if it looks sharp on my TV. And 1152*640 looks pretty good on my TV although Devil May Cry and Uncharted indeed look sharper than GTA4. The official definition of HD is 720p or above. . No it isn't. Who says that? Incidentally HD-Ready devices often have 1376*768p but most plasma TVs have 1,024x768. AFAIK nobody ever described HD as 720p and above. (Would be pretty stupid anyway because then 55*720 would also be HD. I think this is another example of the unhealthy obsession with fixed targets in this forum. |
Nicely put, I guess 1080p is Ultra HD.
