| 728084 | 2008-12-12 06:32:00 | Yesterday while out shopping for presents at St Lukes, I came across this (www.sony.com.au) laptop at Bond & Bond with a "Full HD" sticker on it, like the ones on the full high def TVs. Then-after looking closely at the specs-I discovered that the highest resolution it could display was 1680 x 945, which I thought wasn't Full HD. The salespersons then corrected me-he said that TVs and Laptops had a different "full HD" Question: Do laptops and TVs really have a different resolution for HD? :confused: Cheers Blam |

| 728086 | 2008-12-12 06:45:00 | No, full HD is progressive 1920 x 1080. | maccrazy (6741) | ||
| 728087 | 2008-12-12 06:47:00 | sure, Until they release an even more awesome format, and some even more high resolution screens,and call that True full HD Ultra. Suckers. Its all bull****. |

| 728088 | 2008-12-12 06:53:00 | If pressed, they will reveal that "Full HD" on a B & B laptop means there is so much bloatware installed that there is no more room on the Hard Drive. ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||

Exactly what I though-until the stupid salesperson came along pretending to know everything! I swear, most of the time the consumer knows more about the product than the salesperson.... :mad: |

| 728091 | 2008-12-12 08:25:00 | I prefer them to tell me they don't know, Nothing worse then having to stop em mid-sentence, Tell them they have no idea what they are talking about and to go away immediately. | Metla (12) | ||
| 728092 | 2008-12-12 10:15:00 | Most of the time i ask a sales person a question, they say " IDK :D" That never happens to me-the salesperson just reads out all the specs to me. e.g I ask "What's the battery life of this laptop?" Salesperson: "Well......I'll take the battery out and show you, if its big it'll probably mean a longer battery life. At that point I decided to just find out myself. *sigh* |

| 728093 | 2008-12-12 17:42:00 | Full HD Stickers mean that the computer is capable of Full HD Output, either through the VGA/DVI port or the HDMI Out But that's still a massive resolution for a screen :O Go back and give him crap Anyway, who needs salesmen? You're a pressf1 member, all the salesmen you need are right here :D Well the ones that will give you an honest opinion and help you and not the company you're buying from :) |
