- Display Formats
- specifies horizontal and vertical resolution in pixels, scan mode (progressive or interlaced); refresh rate and color depth are sometimes also included
- Example: 1920x1080p60 24bpp
- Horizontal Resolution = 1920 pixels
- Vertical Resolution = 1080 pixels
- Scan Mode = p for progressive scan
- Refresh Rate = 60 Hertz (Hz)
- Color Depth = 24 bits per pixel (bpp)
- in practice, refresh rate is almost always 60Hz and color depth is almost always 24bpp, so they are usually omitted
- Example: 1920x1080p60 24bpp
- Common Display Formats for TVs
- 640x480i - traditional analog broadcast TV resolution
- 640x480p - sometimes marketed as "EDTV" resolution
- 1280x720p - first wave of TVs marketed as "HD"
- 1920x1080i - marketed as "HD" despite being interlaced
- 1920x1080p - highest typical resolution for TVs, marketed as "Full HD"
