Comment Can you elaborate why you need this when Wikidata:Property proposal/image+display resolution is also in discussion? Matthias M. (talk) 07:33, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- A graphic card, HDMI connector and motherboard does not have any display resolution (because having a display resolution requires having an electronic display or the ability to generate or capture images in the first place). There are however technical limitations to the maximal display resolution that they are capable of supporting. Which is what this is for
- Yes, if you have a computer the image displayed on the screen is technically created by the GPU. But a GPU cannot produce images on it's own. It needs a power source and the rest of the PC so it doesn't really count that way that IagoQnsi obviously intended
- If you want IagoQnsi to expand the scope of his property proposals you are better off asking him about it instead of me Trade (talk) 08:23, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
Support I think it should be maximum supported display resolution instead of display resolution if I understood things correctly, but not both. Prototyperspective (talk) 17:00, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
- Support Sounds like a useful identifier to me --PantheraLeo1359531 (talk) 07:56, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
- Support. The ientifier will be useful, no doubt! --V. eagle talk 15:00, 29 September 2025 (UTC)
- Comment The graphics cards seem to fit in the scope of 'image resolution', as they are devices that generate 2D raster images. If this was defined as a subproperty of 'image resolution' and had a different label ('render resolution' maybe?), that would make more sense to me. With the current label, I think editors might get confused about which properties to use when.
- That does mean the HDMI connector would be excluded though. Here's an idea for dealing with that: what if we had a generic 'supports resolution' property that is a parent of both 'image resolution' and 'display resolution'. In most cases you should use one of the subproperties, but the parent property would be available to you in those weird cases like HDMI connectors, where an item neither creates nor displays an image, but you still want to attach a resolution to it. It'd be kind of like how we often use subproperties of name (P2561), but rarely use P2561 itself. What do others think? –IagoQnsi (talk) 16:56, 30 September 2025 (UTC)
- @Trade, any clarification the comments above by @IagoQnsi. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 18:14, 7 December 2025 (UTC)
- Sounds fine but i am unsure as to how that would affect this property Trade (talk) 18:25, 7 December 2025 (UTC)

Not done, @IagoQnsi, Matthias M., PantheraLeo1359531, Prototyperspective, Trade, Vellion Eagle: I'm marking this as not done for now. We’ve hit a classic Wikidata roadblock, the technical leads aren't willing to greenlight this until they finish a massive reorganization of every other "resolution" property on the site. Since Trade is understandably unsure how that huge cleanup will impact this specific property, and there’s no timeline for when that project will actually happen, we’re effectively in a permanent stalemate. It’s better to close this than to let it sit in limbo indefinitely. -- Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 07:56, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
- Would you mind to just change this to "On hold" instead? Trade (talk) 09:15, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
- @Trade, let's keep as closed. If you would like to reopen let me know. Regards, ZI Jony (Talk) 11:54, 29 April 2026 (UTC)
