1920x1080 → 1920×1080 – or 1920 × 10801920 × 1080. Semantically, this symbol is not the letter 'x', and the page itself uses "×". The difference is not merely decorative (as would be improper per MOS:TM / WP:TITLETM). See also the Multiplication sign article, which explains exactly this usage as proper: "Screen resolution in pixels, such as 1920 pixels across × 1080 pixels down. Read as 'by' ". Per WP:TSC, a redirect should be used for the current name. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 13:53, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

• Support per nominator, but keep 1920x1080 as a redirect. JIP | Talk 13:21, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• Support per nom, with existing as redirect. Reidgreg (talk) 15:10, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
• Support 1920×1080. "×" is the typographically correct symbol and seems to be used consistently in our graphics articles such as graphics display resolution. That being said, 1920x1080 is about 200 times more common in a Google search, so definitely keep a redirect. We may also consider the programmer-oriented 1920*1080 variant as a redirect, which is also used in the wild. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 16:19, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
