Does the iMac Aluminum have an HD Resolution?

Yes, 24" model has full HD = 1920x1200.

 

[$Weezy$YM$]

oh, but not the 20inch?

Correction: 24" has slightly bigger vertical resolution than full HD:

24" = 1920x1200
20" = 1680x1050

1080p (full HD) = 1920x1080
720p = 1280x720

Correction: 24" has slightly bigger vertical resolution than full HD:

24" = 1920x1200
20" = 1680x1050

1080p (full HD) = 1920x1080
720p = 1280x720

so in that case, the 20inch has 720p+
and the 24inch has 1080p-full hd
right?

Yes, and 24" has a bit more pixels than full HD 🙂

Didn't know that. Glad I went for the 24", I love the screen. Just need the wife to stop touching the screen/glass. I swear all girls do that, no offense.

i know!...why do chicks have to actually touch the screen when they point at something??

It's got more pixels vertically than 1080p because 1080p is a 16:9 aspect ratio.

The Mac's have a 16:10. Those extra pixels are necessary to show true 1920x1080.

Agreed! SO ANNOYING! I have one hand ready to stop her anytime my wife gets near the imac.

Haha. And of course you don't want to mention it, for fear it should turn into a 'thing.'
