1080 p is 2.1 aspect ratio - all these lovely standards to make sure your screen is legally HD but no media available at that level!Simon Williams wrote:It'll probably do 1080i, but I doubt it'll do FullHD 1080p as it's 1920x1080, and from experience there doesn't appear to be any missing lines, although some HD movies tend to have borders on the top and bottom of the screen to get the cinema style aspect ratio (something like 2.35:1 rather than 1.78:1 although don't quote me on that, I don't have a DVD box handy to check).On 14/03/10 18:38, dandart@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:If it's greater than 1920x1080, then it's HD, afaik. Any lower and it's not "Full HD" but it might be "HD Ready".TV gets really confusing. I've heard claims that HD still works much like PAL in that some of the lines are reserved for extra information (maybe subtitles, teletext, TV guide, etc). If this is true then it's possible that 1680x1050 monitors can actually do 1080p, with 30 lines being this 'unseen' information.Can anyone confirm/deny this? I know nothing about TV. There's no consensus on the internet either.
