minus-squareLurkingLuddite@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·edit-21 day agoWhat?! Was I so privileged to have a 720p CRT at the time? (ok well not literally 720p, but a higher resolution 4:3… 800x600) … actually remembering it, it was probably well after 1998, but I have plenty of memories going, “mmmm, 800x600”. maybe even more at 1024x768. I only really started to understand what it all meant and how neat better resolution was with Unreal Tournament, so… definitely post 1999

minus-squareEheran@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 hours ago600p should be 1024 × 600 (WSVGA), perhaps someone also uses it for 800 × 600 (SVGA). In any case, nobody used that notation back in the day, that came in the 2000s with 720p.
