| 729171 | 2008-12-15 02:12:00 | Hi there, If you watch a video in HD on a CRT monitor with the resolution at 1024 x 1028 is it actually in HD? or are you just watching a watered down version of the video? Thanks |

| 729172 | 2008-12-15 02:17:00 | No I think true HD is 1920*1080, or some monitors support 1650x1080, I think it is So, what youre watching is probably nowhere near HD quality |

| 729173 | 2008-12-15 02:24:00 | I don't think it's Full HD (it's the freeview HD test channel) and it's letter-boxed anyway. Is it possible that it's in HD but just letterboxed? | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 729174 | 2008-12-15 02:29:00 | Could be HD, but you wont see all of whatever. Since its the wrong resolution | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

If it is the Freeview|HD test channel then it is in 720p I think. As stated by others the CRT will be downscaling the 720p signal to your resolution. Not HD but still a lot higher res than a DVD which are 720x576. |

| 729177 | 2008-12-15 04:23:00 | CRT monitors are analogue so of course it isnt HD!..... Analog/Digital has nothing to do with it. I have a 22" CRT with a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 so it can display full HD. HD refers to the resolution; 'normal' HD is considered 1280x720. Full HD is considered 1920x1080. So if your screen (regardless of technology) is capable of those resolutions, you'll be able to display them without having to scale down. You must have a very unusual monitor if it displays a resolution of 1024x1028; it is certainly not a standard resolution. So for 720, the lowest resolution you'll need is 1280x(anything larger than 720). So 1280x1024 will show the whole picture (with black bars at the top and bottom) |

| 729178 | 2008-12-15 04:24:00 | So if I put my screen Resolution at 1280*720, It's (normal) HD? | davidmmac (4619) | ||
| 729179 | 2008-12-15 04:40:00 | So if I put my screen Resolution at 1280*720, It's (normal) HD? Yes, you'll be able to show HD 720 content at 1:1, no scaling required. But I doubt your CRT will support 1280x720, it should be able to support 1280x1024 or 1280x960. The only widescreen CRT I'm aware of is the Sony FW900 which had a maximum resolution of 2304x1440 What screen do you have? |
