Should we stop using the terms Progressive/Interlaced?

[Rakehellion]

So we still say stuff like "Game in 1080p" or "Monitor supports 1080p"

Since we are, for the most part, all utilizing LCD or plasma screens, isn't saying something like that as using "progressive scan" technology, actually incorrect?

Aren't interlacing/progressive scans old tech used in CRT's?

Can't we just say (1920x1080 resolution monitor) (1280x720 resolution monitor)

Isn't 1080p a lot easier to say than "1920x1080 resolution monitor" or whatever the hell?

Yeah 4k is going to be confusing for the "norms" 'But I already have a full hd tv!'
Let's see what the marketing guys come up with.

I don't really care, but I think they decided to call it Ultra HD.

eXtreme HD

720p is arguably better for sports because its ultimately a higher frame rate; with proper processing, artifacts should be irrelevant for 1080i

Enter 1080p/60 frames which is what most sports/HD cameras record in.

Wow, that is confusing...so 1080i could be anything :| Why not just send a fucking regular signal? Is it because CRT tv's still exist on the marketplace?

Bandwidth I'd imagine. 1080P video, even compressed still eats up a sizeable chunk of data even by today's standards.

Winner winner chicken dinner

I remember long ago saying 1080p was the only way when folks were stressing over a tv.

Damn it feels good to be a gangsta

The year is now 2014

Give me your address.

I'll send a box and a prepaid FedEx call tag.

lol

the only reason she would let me get a new tv was to let her parents finally experience the substantial difference in quality.

won't let me pawn it off to a bunch a' nerds 🙁



Ahhhh "frame interpolation" - is that the extremely weird soap-opera effect? It drive's me CRAZY. I'm the guy who says, turn that shit off, and everyone else is like, I don't see what you are talking about.
