It still is, but nobody cares anymore. At 16:9 1920x1080 is considered "Full High Definition," and 3840x2160 (at minimum) is "Ultra High Definition," at least in terms of their official marketing speak. The latter has mutated to include both 4K and 8K content somehow, apparently because the brainworms in the marketing department ran out of superlatives after "Ultra."

Should've called 8K Iper High Definition

They should've hired tea industry execs. If the tea industry can come up with grades like "Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe", they can come up with something beyond Ultra High Definition.

Maybe like this:

  • High Definition (HD)
  • Full High Definition (FHD)
  • Ultra High Definition (UHD)
  • Very Ultra High Definition (VUHD)
  • Special Very Ultra High Definition (SVUHD)
  • Full Special Very Ultra High Definition (FSVUHD or SVUHD1, both are acceptable)

Not that these grades would only apply to displays that don't support picture-in-picture or split screen. Displays with those features ("broken" displays) would use the following equivalent grades instead:

  • High Broken Definition (HBD)
  • Full High Broken Definition (FHBD)
  • Ultra High Broken Definition (UHBD)
  • Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (GUHBD)
  • Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (SGUHBD)
  • Full Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition 1 (FSGUHBD1)

We could just use the radio bands, just with definition instead of frequency.
High
Very high
Ultra high
Super high
Extremely high
Tremendously high

Favourite Goku transformation, underappreciated by most.

What's higher than ultra? "Godlike?" "Definitionmanjaro?"

MHD sounds like a new type of hallucinogen

All about aspect ratio, at a high aspect ratio 720 looks fine on a reasonably sized TV.

[-] NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago

Do you know what aspect ratio means?

[-] MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

What is an example of a low and high aspect ratio?
