Skype with 720p video calls

05 January 2010, Viktor Ustijanoski

Skype announced support for 720p HD resolution video calls on PCs and on TVs.
The latest version of Skype for Windows can deliver up to 720p HD-quality video calling at 1280 x 720p at 30 frames per second if you have a high-speed broadband connection, a new HD webcam, a PC with a 1.8 GHz dual core and Skype 4.2 beta for Windows.

Skype recommends broadband connection of at least 1 Mbps to achieve 720p HD-quality video calls on either a PC or television. You actually might have to upgrade your broadband connection to get 1Mbps upstream bandwidth. Skype also announced today to bring Skype video calling to Panasonic and LG TVs in 2010.
