    What Is Your Definition of HD?

    This is Wikipedia's definition:

    High-definition video or HD video refers to any video system of higher resolution than standard-definition (SD) video, and most commonly involves display resolutions of 1280×720 pixels (720p) or 1920×1080 pixels (1080i/1080p).

    Do you concur?

          By that logic then, would 720x480 video be considered HD?

              I think "Internet HD" does start at 720. Netflix is using 720p and is supposed to upgrade to 1080.
              Want a Sponsor that really PAYS?!?!?!?!

                      When I offer Hi Def, it's 1920x1080

                      When the average online customer seeks Hi Def, "wide screen" may suffice

                      Heck, you could put "black bars" top and bottom of an SD clip and half the users would believe the video is "HD" -- the other half wants Blu-ray quality.

                                  Well technically HD = 1920x1080, but with all those marketing terms like HDV or HDready the original "HD" was eroded into something like "better than regular square video". At least it looks like most of surfers still think so.

                                              Not even close.

                                              The wiki definition is correct.

                                                  of course. mainstream uses 720p as HD, slowley changing to 1024

                                                      720p / 1080p refers to the height... not width... so 720x480 is not 720p, it's actually 480p... which isn't HD for sure, but 95% of surfer probably couldn't tell the difference anyway...

                                                              720p generally, although you could make the case that 1080p is the only true HD. As for what your eye prefers, I am pretty happy with either, but then again I'm not one of the hardcore AVSforum members who will cry foul if they can't see the original film grain on a blu-ray movie.

                                                                      #18
                                                                      HD is a sales gimmick. ( or scam to be nasty)

                                                                      One dirty little secret that people are forgetting or that they don?t understand, IT?S NOT HD they?re getting over the Internet. Heck it?s not even NTSC 480i (720×480 60 fields interlaced) DVD quality when you really look at the amount of video data you?re getting!

                                                                      If you look at a professional HD format which uses a compression of 4:1 Panasonic's D5 it captures 1080x1920 25 p at 269 Mbits / second.

                                                                      Blu Ray' 1920 x 1080 25p (30p in US ) still has 25-36 Mbits / second.

                                                                      Anyone with photoshop know that the resolution is only one factor that the picture needs the color and lumience information to reduce the picture quality to shit to keep a big size fools no one.

                                                                      Internet speeds do not permit quality Standard Definition yet. DVD quality would be better than material pretending to be HD. It is the bit rate.

                                                                      Another factor is that if the computer cannot manage the large files it just drops the frame rate, so the may be watching a 1920 file at 6,000 bit / sec but at 5 frames per second.

                                                                      More info here
