    It still is, but nobody cares anymore. At 16:9 1920x1080 is considered “Full High Definition,” and 3840x2160 (at minimum) is “Ultra High Definition,” at least in terms of their official marketing speak. The latter has mutated to include both 4K and 8K content somehow, apparently because the brainworms in the marketing department ran out of superlatives after “Ultra.”

      They should’ve hired tea industry execs. If the tea industry can come up with grades like “Special Finest Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe”, they can come up with something beyond Ultra High Definition.

      Maybe like this:

      • High Definition (HD)
      • Full High Definition (FHD)
      • Ultra High Definition (UHD)
      • Very Ultra High Definition (VUHD)
      • Special Very Ultra High Definition (SVUHD)
      • Full Special Very Ultra High Definition (FSVUHD or SVUHD1, both are acceptable)

      Not that these grades would only apply to displays that don’t support picture-in-picture or split screen. Displays with those features (“broken” displays) would use the following equivalent grades instead:

      • High Broken Definition (HBD)
      • Full High Broken Definition (FHBD)
      • Ultra High Broken Definition (UHBD)
      • Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (GUHBD)
      • Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition (SGUHBD)
      • Full Special Golden Ultra High Broken Definition 1 (FSGUHBD1)
