what resolution is 1280x1024?

[Gregory]

Hi people, found an old monitor, I might be able to put it to use but is that resolution 720p? of course it's not full HD but I'd imagine it would be 720p if anything.
Would I be right in thinking this?

Thanks in advance

You'll be able to run 720p content.

I was thinking of using it as a secondary monitor, would it be possible to game at 720p then?

It's just a 4:3 / 5:4 format is all, but yes it will still handle content of higher res.
720p is just a 16:9 for resolution is all.

Now as far as videos, that won't matter as long as your system can handle it, such as DVDs or 720p/1080p video from Flash/Silverlight/HTML5 content, such as YouTube, Amazon, Hulu, Netflix.

Yes you could game on that @ 720p (1280x720) you will just have to adjust the picture on the monitor is all, and the end result will be black bars on top/bottom since the screen is not a wide-screen format.

I've got a pretty old monitor which runs 1280x1024 (And when I say old although its flatscreen its from before XP but after the release of windows 2000 and ME.) and even though the computer hooked up to it isn't very good it definitely looks HD (Or at least bright and clear.)

720p isn't bad but I have black bars with games that require 16:9 aspect ratio. It isn't too distracting but sometimes it's annoying. And you can't play Fallout 4

1280x720p with black bars on top and bottom, basically a movie effect.
It is still HD so it is available on any game and low demanding.

1280x1024 is a 5:4 aspect ratio. More or less just slightly wider than 4:3 aspect ratio.
