Limitations: Resolution

Resolution!





There are four main resolutions:

Standard-definition television - which is 480i and 576i.

Enhanced-definition television - which is 480p and 576p.

High-definition television - which is 720p, 1080i and 1080p.

Ultra-high definition television - which is 2160p, 4320p and 8640p 

Resolution is the overall detail of a specific image on screen. It is generally well known and is believed that the more pixels in which are there the better the overall quality is. The resolution of different screen sizes, meaning different computers as well as other devices would vary. PC's are most likely to have higher quality resolution over televisions. The resolution of the output device would generally also affect the overall impact of the graphics onto the audience. If the quality is low for example then it wouldn't be very high quality for the viewer to be looking at due to it looking grainy and pixelated effect would then be created. However, back in the day this poor quality would not have been considered poor as it was all they knew and would have generally thought of it as being a grad advancement in technology. However, with audiences now they are so accustomed to being able to access to their high quality that they wouldn't want to really want to watch something in lets say black and white and really bad pixels etc.

The actual resolution of different devices in the world is generally another limitation which has a relation to typography, this would be because it could potentially affect how the typography would be read. Even today in our society with technology there are still technical limitations. More fringing in regards to the effect of changing angles when two straight lines are so close together that they would generally create the overall illusion of movement. This can generally be quite irritating for many of the viewers as they would stay focusing on that rather than what they're actually watching. More fringing can generally happen when clothing for example would be worn with thing such as shirts which have stripes on them.
