    I wonder where naming schemes are going from here. We got HD, FHD, UHD, and now 8k is FUHD (Full Ultra HD). Are we gonna get Super HD? Super HD that is beyond Super HD? Super HD God?

      Full Ultra HD? Really? That sounds like a joke. I mean they really didn’t spend any effort on this name, did they?

        I thought at some point they were calling 720p “HD ready” and reserving “HD” for 1080p. It’s all a bit of a mess, but that’s pretty standard for tech names, as well as the TLAs, ETLAs and DETLAs.

          Usb and display resolutions are in a contest for the shittiest, most confusing, naming convention. So far the displays are slightly ahead. We’ll see if it lasts.
