Hi all,

(sorry for my very BAD english).

"Features of HDTV:
As the technology implies, HDTV gives better screen resolution. The obvious feature of a true HDTV is the physical wide screen. Like your computer monitor, a HDTV screen is measured in dot pitch. A HDTV screen has more vertical and horizontal lines than an analog TV, giving it a much finer and crisper display. The standard is 720 (progressive) or 1080 (interlace) horizontal line of resolution."
^^^^^^^^^^

The standard HDTV is 720p or 1080i VERTICAL line of resolution (1920*1080 dot pitch). ;)


byezzz

Happy New Year :rockon:

Depends on your interpretation:

Basically, TV 'resolution' refers to how many horizontal lines are displayed on your TV screen. (Although it is the horizontal lines that are counted, this is usually referred to as "vertical resolution" because the lines are counted from top to bottom - or vertically).

I checked both FAQs on Resolution and could not find the paragraph quoted. Is it from "our" FAQs?
