How many types of 'HD' is there?

Turbsy

So, I know some basic HDs that there are...

720p (HD)

1080p (FHD)

1440p (QHD)

4K (UHD)

5K (UHD I think)

8K (FUHD)

 

But what other types of HD are there? And what is the resolution (like 1920x1080) and HD abbreviation for them (like FHD, QHD, UHD)?

 

Thanks,

-Turbsy

Rec. 709 (the HDTV standard) defines:

 

1280x720 (720p)

1920x1080 (1080i or 1080p depending on scan type)

 

Rec. 2020 (the UHDTV standard) defines:

 

3840x2160 (4K UHD)

7680x4320 (8K UHD)

 

All other resolutions such as 1366x768 (720p/HD), 1600x900 (900p/HD+), 2560x1440 (1440p/QHD), 2880x1620 (3K), 3200x1800 (3K/QHD+), and 5120x2880 (5K) are not defined in the HD or UHD standards, and are only unofficial terms maintained by popular convention.
