How many pixels does a 1080p Screen have?

[TheticComet]

Sorry if this is a stupid question but A FULL HD TV 1920x1080p which is roughly 2 million pixels? I've heard that 1 million pixels make a mega pixel? And MOBILE PHONES have like 15 MP camera? Pretty sure mobile phones are not even close to 4K?? Please make me understand this

1080p is 2073600 pixels, or 2.0736 megapixels

You're talking about capturing Vs. displaying. The camera lens can capture images in higher resolutions than its onboard display can produce. But those images can be printed/processed in the full resolution even if you can't fit the total image on a 1920x1080p display(computer monitor or camera LCD). The lens can "see" more than it can display on a typical LCD.

2,073,600.

Megapixels refer to the how the picture is being taken, not how it is displayed on a screen. So a 15MP photograph just means it has the potential for that amount of image detail, even though it will never be viewed as such. Its really about the sensors on the camera itself, instead of the screen its viewed on.

Pictures are usually meant(sized) to be printed, and not seen on a monitor. To get a good print, you may need more than what a typical 1080p monitor would show.

We'll you're pretty wrong then... Many brands already have cam recording at 4k resolution although only Sony Xperia Z5 Premium has 4k display...

Here's something to help understand the differences..

The bad part about those megapixels is that the sensor size is small to start with... divide that by +15 million pixels it will give you some very small pixels. They will have trouble capturing light and they will produce horrible, noisy picture in low light. Actually if you zoom in at 100% on a phone camera pic, you will see that most of that is over-imposed by random noise, even in good light.
