We are not discussing verical resolution. The original post was about
HORIZONTAL resolutions (from left-to-right, inside a square frame
equal to the picture's height, per engineering standard
measurements). I am counting these:

| | | | |
| | | | |
| | | | |

Please note that I am an Electrical Engineer.
Don't talk down to me as if I was a college freshman.
I don't like it.

[censored] - I told you I don't like to be talked-down to. My
previous post on HORIZONTAL resolution (per picture height) was 100%
accurate:

Standard 4:3 (measuring the | | | | | horizontally across)
-------------------
240 - standard VHS or Betamax
330 - cable tv
400 - S-VHS or laserdisc
540 - DVD
