I made a mistake the other night in stating that PAL is 525 lines of resolution. That’s just PAL M. Currently, NTSC is 525/60hz and PAL is 625/50hz and these are the broadcast resolutions for each. 720×480(NTSC) and 720×576(PAL) are DVD resolutions. So technically I was correct about HD being higher than 525, I just picked the wrong standard. There is no such thing as sub-HD. If you were to use the term sub-HD you would be talking about resolutions lower than HD which are SD and ED. If there is a name for the resolutions between 525 and 720, it hasn’t been documented anywhere.
Thank you and good night!

I wouldn’t have known one way or the other. Before all I knew for sure was that 720p and 1080p were HD.
meh I could care less as long as the game looks good and is fun…. im all for it lol
Yeah thats the hole point of gaming. It seems that Fanboys like to debate this topic cause they like to bitch. And dont get me wrong im not talking about the bitbagers.
Who really gives a shit Tor, anything below 1080 is gross anyway “Step Ya Game Up”…J/K, you kinda admitted you were wrong but didn’t at the same time. Yo OOG get at me man, I got an update on getting my computer to play Crysis.
yo how is the computer going any news? lol
my psn is OOG-FunK …. well one of my psn accounts… you can catch me on that or i can toss my email to you sometime whatevs
Torrence can you please give me a link that states resolutions under 720p are still considered HD?
But, But you were sooooo sure you were right with the links you provided to me the other day because someone “thinks” this and that is the standard. Didn’t I say do your research Commander?
Mboo did you understand what I wrote. I did my research which is why I want to see someone post a link that proves me wrong. If soemone can find a link from a credible site that says resolutions under 720p are considered hd then I will admit I was wrong. In closing if cnet says 720p is where hd begins then thats what I am sticking to.
Sounds fair to me.
PS Torrence said he is here to educate so I want him to show me why I am wrong. In order to learn you need to be wrong. Like I said If I am wrong I will admit, learn the information presented, and move on to the next topic.
Common sense doesn’t need a link.
Muggs just don’t get it.
Common sense doesnt need a link.
Why are you being so difficult about this? U said ur here to educate, so educate me and the other people who have questioned what you said.
I already told you, anything above 525 lines of resolution is High Definition. ED only covers 480p. That’s it! Don’t confuse TV standards with resolutions. If SD is 480i, ED is 480p and HD is 720p/1080i/1080p, then what is the stuff in between that’s higher than 525? If you can answer that question correctly, you’ve just become smarter. Use common sense and remember that you NEED an HDTV to display a resolution higher than ED.
I laid it all out on the show. The stuff on the back tells the consumer what TV resolutions the game supports, not what resolution the game is made in. Every game has to fit those resolutions. So if they are different than the resolutions provided by the tv, then there’s an upscale. Any 720p game has to upscale to run in 1080p. Any 640p game has to upscale to run in 720p or 1080p. Sub-HD is not a term used by the NTSC. Once again, since there is no name for those resolutions between ED and HD, then they must be HD right?
I personally don't care about ms dropping the 720hd shit , I would rather have games run super smooth and look great like cod than have a hi res and play like lagging shit
@tordavis
The only thing you laid out on the show is misinformation. Everything between 480p and 720p is ENHANCED DEFINITION. The reason that you don’t see this branding on tv’s that fall into that range is BECAUSE THERE AREN’T ANY. Even if I use my computer to display 1300*719p, this still isn’t HD as defined by the NTSC which is the standard that we are going by here. If there was a tv that existed that out put at 600p vertical lines, it would be EDTV. You have to remember that “high definition” is a made up, arbitrary term used by companies’ marketing department to define a certain products. What I mean by arbitrary is that they could’ve just as well picked 647 lines of resolution and called that HD, but they chose not to.
High definition is anything equal to or above 720 vertical fucking lines of resolution. End of Story. Just because there isn’t a name for anything from 481p-719p does not automatically make it HD. The reason there isn’t a name for TV’s that support this resolution is because there aren’t any TV’s made that support these resolutions. YOU GUYS ARE UTTER RETARDS
Use common sense and remember that you NEED an HDTV to display a resolution higher than ED.
*You pretty much owned me right there. I was just so confused because everything I read online.
Once again, since there is no name for those resolutions between ED and HD, then they must be HD right?
*Good point.
Thanks for the reply.
