Back in the really olden days of PCs, it was common to buy a $600 "breadbox" computer (Commodore 64 anyone?), hook it up to the TV and away you go. More fancy computers like Apple 2s and IBM PCs had their own monitor. Now the separate PC were usually progressive scan. That means that the whole frame is drawn on the screen rather than opposing alternating lines (or interlace). Fast forward to the HD craze and now people who I can only hope do know better, state that their computer monitor is 1080p or 1440p or something like that. Now, at this point in time, PC monitors have been progressive scan for decades and the large CRTs had pretty high resolutions. I have an old Dell CRT that tops out at 2048x1536. Yet for some reason, it is now necessary to state that your PC monitor (not a television where it actually differs) is progressive scan. Its not even short hand. If I said my monitor was 2160p, would any of you even guess that was I was talking about a 4k monitor? What about 1200p? 1050p? 4360p? Seriously, its annoying to see 1080p and 1440p when typing out 1920x1080 is far more informative. How? I can see how many horizontal pixels there are. 1920x1200 tells me that its A: high resolution, B: its on a computer monitor because TVs market with xxxxp and C: Its aspect ratio and in this case its 16:10.

So, in short stop the 1440p and type out 2560x1440 please.
