    In my opinion a full hi def screen is 1920 x 1080. A high res screen is anyting above 1280x1024. An extreme high def monitor is 2560x1600.

    High definition video is anything above enhanced standard definition (480p NTSC or 576p PAL). High definition video may be 1280x720 or 1920x1080, so one might assume that a monitor advertised as 'Full Hi Definition' would be capable of displaying at least 1080 lines of vertical resolution. For computer monitors that pretty much means a 24" widescreen (1920x1200).

     

    'High Resolution' is a relative term. A 1440x900 display could be considered high resolution compared to a 1280x800 one. 

     

    What really matters is how whoever is using those terms defines them. Without that they're just marketing buzz-words. For example, some manufacturers advertise 'high definition' TVs that can't display 1080 natively, but scale a 1080 input to the display's lower resolution.

    Chris, I know this is off topic, but is there any new information on 2408 rev a01? Or you are going to tell us wait, wait, wait until the warranty expires? :)
