that's what i was about to add. the ratio of 4096:720 (5.688:1) is not the
same as the ratio 3600:0.785 (4,586:1) AND please note that the first ratio
is a point while the second is a comma (English Standard)

thus a proper comparison would be more like the football field and a couple
greyhound buses (except that a football has the wrong comparison to the 4:3
sizes stated 4096 x 3072 resolution)
