Why cant my graphics card just do 4 native pixels = 1 game res pixel? Or would that take more processing power than running in native? Come to think of it that would be 800x450 and be terribly blocky, so I guess theres no solution? So the verdict is, tvs have bigger, and fewer pixels. jeff, i've never had any problems with…
I sit about 2 feet away from my 32 inch and I don't see it ever act like my pc monitor. Could the pc interpret it in a way that 1 pixel = 4 of the real pc pixels? Im pretty sure tvs when not viewing hd run at 1024x768 and at 22 fps from what I read in a magazine, so that could also be the reason. For example, gta 4 on xbl…
You're expecting a monitor to scale a 1024x768 image to 1600x900 without having interpolation issues? Do you realize that you're asking the display to show image data that doesn't exist? There are a finite number of pixels in that 1024 image and when you scale it to 1600, the computer has to "guess" mathematically how to…
I always though it was interesting that a 32 inch lcd can run a game at 1024x768 pretty clear, but a 1600x900 monitor can't run a pc game at 1024x768 and it be clear, instead its stretched and blurry. Is there any way to have this effect on monitors? Perhaps mimicking the pixel density through an emulator of somesort?
You could AA if you really wanted, but the most natural AA without any performance hit would be as Justin said, sitting far away from the screen. Try sitting right next to the TV, and having it exactly encase view, you'll start noticing color bleeding, blurred pixels at edges as so on and forth. If anything, I would say…
Well that's easy ain't it : If you mostly play XBox and PS3 games, play them on a native 720p TV or projector ; If you mostly watch Blurays, watch them on a native 1080p TV or projector ; If you play games on the PC, play them at the full native res of your PC screen. That about sums it up! Everything else would look…
Actually, now it hit me, the reason why your tv looks so good is that you're watching 1024x768 on your 1280x768 TV, keeping with the idea that it is aspect correct: it doesn't have to scale, it's pixel perfect!, while the same content watched on your bigger monitor will have to fall back on scaling. And now considering…
buy a CRT, srs. lcd monitors are fixed resolution displays, meaning that they have a finite amount of pixels vertically and horizontally. in order to use a lower resolution on that fixed resolution display, it must scale the video source up using a chip to resample it to the bigger resolution of your display. these chips…
