There are two tables shown, with the main distinction between them being the "Native resolution" and "Screen resolution". This appears to be OR and doesn't adequately explain what the difference is. The latter table actually contains the "clean aperture" size, which is not a resolution format. It just tells the hardware engineer (and possibly a doting video producer) which parts of the image should be guaranteed from signal noise, i.e. it is a technical implementation detail of little interest to anyone who isn't a TV manufacturer. It is undue weight to treat these as "common" resolutions as there is no actual display that has or uses this "screen resolution". Ham Pastrami (talk) 09:09, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I request an examination of the following excerpt from section Formats:

Non-cinematic HDTV video recordings intended for broadcast are typically recorded either in 720p or 1080i format as determined by the broadcaster. 720p is commonly used for Internet distribution of high-definition video, because most computer monitors operate in progressive-scan mode.

I believe broadcasts have largely evolved toward 1080p recording and transmission, as was the original intention of the HDTV transition, begun before consumer devices supported their current capacity. Equally, streaming broadcasts widely available, even of amateur creation, seem to be appearing at or beyond this resolution.

The analysis given in the article may be dated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Epl (talk • contribs) 15:10, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
