Computer newbies: Resolution?
Resolution?
by tenioman - 2/22/08 10:31 PMCan someone please explain resolution to me?
Is it the actual length and width of a video?
Or the amount of detail?
Could someone give me a good detailed answer?

Resolution
by froasier - 2/29/08 10:52 PM In reply to: Resolution? by teniomanIn the digital world, it is the width and height of the video (or image, display, etc.) in pixels, which directly relates to the amount of detail that can be shown. TV resolutions are usually specified with a single number which represents the number of horizontal lines of pixels (i.e. the height) of the video; 480p is 480 pixels tall, 720p is 1280x720, 1080p is 1920x1080. It can get more complicated than that but that's basically it.

by Hi-def Jeff - 3/1/08 10:21 AM In reply to: Resolution? by teniomanIn terms of your TV screen, resolution refers to the number of lines of pixels (color dots) that make up the screen. A 720 resolution has fewer pixel lines than a 1080 screen. This means that a 1080 screen can provide a greater amount of detail, or higher resolution, than 720.
So resolution can refer to a physical makeup of a monitor, and can refer to the amount of detail that can be shown.
Resolution is also used to describe source content. A source being DVD player, set top box, game system, or OTA broadcasts. The amount of information being sent by a broadcaster or source, will be described in terms of resolution. Broadcasters will send programming in 720p and 1080i among others.
So, resolution can refer to hardware or monitor design, and it can refer to the content that can be shown. And, it is all about the detail that you may be able to witness depending on source and TV.
I hope this helps.

by hdev - 3/2/08 9:55 PM In reply to: Resolution? by teniomanYour display on your screen is made up of tiny dots of lifgt called PIXELS. The more pixels are used to display an image or character, the denser (solid) he image looks - the higher the RESOLUTION. So, resolution boils down to the number of pixels making up an image - the more pixels, the figher the resolution and vice versa - less pixels, lower resolution.
did you get the information you needed?
by batman823 - 3/4/08 6:40 AM In reply to: Resolution? by teniomanI saw some of the answers were pretty good but failed to touch on some of the more detailed and advanced discussion.
There is enough information for you to deduce what you need, but there are many far more in depth explanations out there.
