Table missing row for 5k

The iMac 27" with Retina display is a 5k monitor with the resolution 5120 × 2880. It should probably be included, as this has been a standard since 2014.

16k missing..(?)

There is an article about 16k but nothing in this wiki. Should i...? -- LAZA74 (talk) 08:55, 25 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overscanning on a C64

In this image of a Commodore 64 startup screen, the overscan region (the lighter-coloured border) would have been barely visible when shown on a normal television.

I spent a lot of time on a C64 and old TV set in the 1990s. A very significant chunk of the border was visible, and indeed many programmers employed the raster interrupt hack to display information in it. While overscanning is very much a thing, 1980s home computers were pretty conservative with their borders. There's probably a better example of a barely-visible border. (The ZX Spectrum's border was quite visible too. Both machines often used it to indicate loading data, the Spectrum in its firmware.) ZoeB (talk) 11:59, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why are two resolutions labelled HD

Isn't FHD = 1920 * 1080 and HD = 1280 * 720. 2001:4647:C4D4:0:E92A:99E7:A0AE:5548 (talk) 03:26, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

mathematical notation

In arithmetic, spaces aren't used in expressions such as multiplication. If you type it that way into some calculators, they'll give an error. Mathematicians/instructors, textbooks don't do this (traditionally) but computer scientists/engineers/programmers--especially in USA--started doing a large number of such poor/ungrammatical format things. Notation should be like: 1600x1200--dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 05:55, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This would best be brought up at WP:⋅ rather than one specific article. In most cases mathematical expressions are written using inline LaTeX (which adds appropriate spacing automatically), but in the few cases they are written in standard text, including spaces is the standard here, as you can see in the examples linked. This discussion would be brought there (and be prepared to prove your claims). Using the latin letter "x" for multiplication certainly won't be accepted. — Glenwing (talk) 07:49, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
