Part I - RESOLUTIONS


TIP:
When experimenting with resolutions, while searching for possible performance solutions.
I.E 1280x1024 = 1.310MP & 1440x900 = 1.296MP.
Therefore, if you find acceptable results for a video card &/or PC mo
nitor/HDTV at 1280x1024, then you might very well have comparible results at 1440x900.
So by using the RATIO FORMULA & DECIMAL CONVERSION below any number close to the decimal for the WS ratio you want, should work pretty well.


The list is sorted by the RIGHT side resolution number WWW X HHHH. (W=Width, H=Height)

RESOLUTION_____ASPECT RATIO

640x400_____________16:10
720X480_____________15:10
848X480_____________16:9
852X480_____________16:10
856X480_____________16:10
840X525_____________16:10
960X540_____________16:9
960X600_____________16:10

1280X720____________16:9
1280X768____________15:10
1360X768____________16:9
1366X768____________16:9 (Viewsonic & DiBoss 32" LCDs)
1368X768____________16:9
1280X800____________16:10

1440X900____________16:10
1440X960____________15:10
1800X960____________15:8

1768X992____________16:10 (Sony 32" LCD)
1776X1000___________16:9
1600X1024___________15:10
1680X1050___________16:10
2960X1050___________16:10 (Dual monitors)
1920X1080___________16:9 (HDTV)
1920X1200___________16:10
2560X1600___________16:10 (30" Apple Cinema Display)
3200X2048___________15:10

3840X2400___________16:10 (Viewsonic 22.2" VP2290b LCD)


RATIO FORMULA & DECIMAL CONVERSION

WIDTH / HEIGHT =

1.25 = 5:4

1.33 = 4:3
1.50 = 15:10 WS
1.60 = 16:10 WS
1.66 = 5:3 (or 15:9) WS
1.77 = 16:9 WS

SDTV / EDTV / HDTV Specifications:

1080i/p HDTV format is 1920 X 1080 pixels.
720i/p [aka HDTV & SDTV (S=Super) or EDTV] is 1280 X ~720 (768).
480p EDTV (E=Enhanced or Extended) [may/may not be widescreen] is 640 X 480 or 704 X 480.
< or =" 420i" s="Standard)" style="font-weight: bold;">old
cable/Beta/VHS/over air = ~240 to 320)


HD vs ED vs SD
Refers to the resolution or number of pixels used to represent a single video image frame. Standard Definition refers to having about 350,000 pixels per frame &
High Definition refers to having about 2,000,000 pixels per frame, (or about 6 times more than SD). Therefore, 7201/p is NOT True HD.

I will add more information once I or Dougofthenorth receive them.

The LCD screen review from www.nbkit.com
14" LCD screen is very pupular in year 2009 and 2010,. In past 5 years , 14.1 is classical and brilliant , but in today, 14.0 replaced her. Compare to 14.1" CCFL backlight, 1280x 800 resolution, big weight, big consumption 14.0 " LCD Screen has LED back light, slim and light, 1366x768 resolution and low consumption. And the more important , from 14.1 to 14" perhaps only this 0.1" , just the 0.1" save many cost for laptop manufactures... 14" laptop for man or women, not heavy and easy to travel and perfect display effect. inevitable it take up 35% seat at laptop market. NBkit.com statics shows that in most size laptops, 14" has very low repair rate. compared to other size LCD screens.
