Image:Resolution chart.svg

This table illustrates total horizontal and vertical detail via box size. It does not accuratly reflect the screen shape (aspect ratio) of these formats, which is always stretched or squeezed to 4:3 or 16:9. Note that this chart illustrates visible resolution, not pixel count, which is why the 1080i box is not as tall as the 1080p box. The table assumes an average vertical detail loss of .75x due to interlace, as explained here: [1], [2], [3], [4] The actual loss is variable due to content, motion, opinion on acceptable levels of flicker, and possible success of deinterlacing. 1920x1080i is not included because all common use of 1080i is filtered to 1440 or less.

And correctly illustrates the effects of non-square pixels and interlace. Does not include 2k and 4k because these are not broadcast formats and HD)
