Full size HD is 1920 x 1080 pixels, which is way too big. Streaming HD is just a waste of bandwidth unless you are streaming to a larger screen.
  • iPad 4:3 ratio is 1024 x 768
  • iPad 16:9 ratio is 1024 x 576 (letterboxed)
  • iPhone 4:3 ratio is 960 x 640
  • iPhone 16:9 ratio is 960 x 540 (letterboxed)
  • KFire 16:9 ratio is 1024 x 576 (letterboxed)
  • 1080i HD is 1920 x 1080
  • 720p HD is 1280 x 720
Completely agree. If I want to watch HD, I use my Xoom @ 1280 x 800 -- it's outstanding.
