Skype with 720p video calls

By Detector | 05 January 2010

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.
