How to find out the TV screen resolution

Many people wonder how to choose the right quality TV. There are many different factors to consider when buying. One such factor is screen resolution. This article talks about what permissions are and how to change it on a TV.

What are the permissions?

Resolution in terms of television equipment refers to the number of pixels making up an image on a television. A single pixel, or individual image element, consists of a tiny dot on the monitor.

On flat-screen TVs, you can find many resolutions. Older and many 32-inch models sold today have a million pixels or so (720p). More modern large displays (typically 49 inches or less) have just over 2 million pixels (1080p). Even newer and larger televisions (typically 50 inches or more, albeit many smaller ones) have 8 million (for 4K Ultra HD).

And the newest, largest and most expensive screens have over 33 million pixels (8K). You will need to take a closer look or pull out a magnifying glass to distinguish each.

REFERENCE! The number of pixels is one of the most common specifications used for TV sales, in part because 4K and 8K sound really high-tech and impressive.

It is worth noting that this feature is not the most important component of image quality.

The fact that the display has a higher resolution than the other does not always mean that it looks better. A TV with better performance in high dynamic range (HDR), better overall contrast ratio or better color will look better than one with more pixels.

However, you need to know the different resolutions used by the creators of television.

How to find out the resolution on your TV

Press MENU on the remote control of your set-top box.

Use the RIGHT ARROW button to select SETTINGS in the horizontal menu bar.

Select SYSTEM SETTINGS, and then scroll to CHOOSE ATTITUDE ASPECT AND HIGH DEFINITION and click OK.

Select Aspect ratio and high resolution, and then click OK. A panel appears with the aspect ratio and high definition settings.

Select the desired aspect ratio and number of pixels, and then click OK:

• Standard resolution 4: 3. Used for regular screens.
• Widescreen standard resolution. Used if you have a widescreen TV (aspect ratio 16: 9) that does not display in high resolution.
• 720p on high definition screens. Useful if you have a widescreen TV displaying 720 pixels wide images (this is sometimes referred to as “enhanced definition”).
• 1080i on high definition screens. Used if you have a widescreen TV that displays high definition images (1080 pixels wide). Note. Depending on the model of the set-top box, the next item in the list may also be displayed, allowing you to customize the display in 1080p format.

1080p on high definition televisions. Used if you have a widescreen TV displaying high definition images (1080 pixels wide) in 1080p format.

If you select the SD mode setting (4: 3 SD or widescreen SD) and then press “CONTINUE”, the changes will be made and you will return to the SETTINGS menu. If you click “Discard Changes”, the change will not be completed and you will return to the SETTINGS menu.

If you select the HD setting (720p, 1080i or 1080p) and then press CONTINUE, the HD Mode wizard appears. The HD Mode wizard allows you to make sure that the TV can correctly display HD content.

You will be asked to CONTINUE SETTINGS (or you can cancel the changes). Click OK. Done!
