720p=1280x720 (16:9 aspect). It refers to only this resolution.The iPad doesn't do 720p HDTV format.
It does 768p and 720p.
720p=1280x720 (16:9 aspect). It refers to only this resolution.
Nexus=1280x800
iPad=1024x768. 1024*(9/16)=576. That means 1024x576p is the highest supported 16:9 resolution. HD content has to be downscaled before playing on the iPad.
I don't think it matters though. It's not video that looks bad on the iPad, it's text.
Saying that it does "768p" is meaningless. There is no 1024x768p broadcast standard.iPad does 768p resolution. 1024x768 is 768p resolution at 4:3 ratio.
Yes, showing every pixel in the video with no scaling (in theory, anyway).Nexus will do 720p fullscreen by letterboxing by adding black bars on top and bottom.
720p means 1280x720p and only this. It means nothing else. It refers to a broadcast standard.iPad will do 720p fullscreen by cropping the left/right of the video.
You guys should form a club!
come on newb, you could at least include your video with instructions on how to get started!

It is not short for 720 vertical lines with any arbitrary aspect ratio. It also doesn't make any sense to use a p when denoting the iPads display resolution, because the display does not use progressive scanning.
No, you can't. 720p refers solely to the 16:9 ratio. You can't just redefine established terms as you please. Maybe I'll start calling my iPad an Atari Lynx.You believe all videos are 16:9 aspect ratio?
You seem to be only recognize vertical resolution and ignoring aspect ratio.
I can encode video in 720p 16:9 aspect ratio or 720p in 4:3 apect ratio.
It is not at all given that an LCD is progressive. In fact, I'd wager that most are not.You do know both iPads and LCD TV use LCD technology right? Are you saying it doesn't make any sense to use a 'p' when talking about 1080p LCD TV/Monitor? I agree with you there's no need to use a 'p' for describing the resolution for LCD TVs or monitors/screens because it's progressive by nature.
No, you can't. 720p refers solely to the 16:9 ratio. You can't just redefine established terms as you please. Maybe I'll start calling my iPad an Atari Lynx.

No. Work on your reading comprehension. Here it is in big bold letters:So 'p' in 720p means 16:9 ratio now?
Not 720p? It's pretty simple.What's 480p?
No. Work on your reading comprehension. Here it is in big bold letters:
720p = 1280x720p
Not 720p? It's pretty simple.
No. 720p is an internationally established shorthand term for 1280x720p. Nothing else. It holds this sole meaning across the globe, as well as any other planet humans may set foot on.No, you need to work on your reading comprehension.
You won't notice the ram to be honest.

Again, 720p is an internationally established shorthand term for 1280x720p. It means nothing else. It doesn't matter what the video source is. It isn't a term for any arbitrary horisontal resolution. It could have been, but it isn't.Your brain seems to be limited to the concept that video only comes from broadcast TV and that's why you think 720p means 1280x720p only. It is not.

But yes, it is derived from broadcast. You don't say that an LCD (or whatever) panel is 1280x720p or 640x480p, because it's a meaningless term in that context. You have no idea how the LCD driver actually updates the display, nor is it really of any interest. The iPad has a 1024x768 resolution, not 1024x768p, not 768p. Shortening it at all doesn't even really make any sense as it's a leftover from the analog CRT TV world where there was no horisontal resolution, and not something that has been used in the computer world.
Tedious, very tedious
That's not a 720p panel, nor is it 4:3 like the iPad, nor can it display 720p without downscaling. My 480x320 cell phone will also play 720p by downscaling it, but I'm not sure how it's relevant.There are a bunch of 720p plasma TV that has the same resolution of the iPad, which is 1024x768 resolution.
For example:
http://shop.panasonic.com/shop/model/TC-P42C2?t=specs
Resolution: (1,024 x 768)
Moving Picture Resolution: 720 lines or more
HDTV Display Capability (1080p, 1080i, 720p): 720p
So panasonic doesn't agree with you.
Since the 1980s. Shortening a computer display's resolution to just the number of lines has never been common. No one refered to 640x256 as "256" or "256p".You haven't been using computer for long have you? It is often used in the computer world.
If I have to rate my tablets:
1. Ipad 3
2. Nexus 7
