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?
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 have to be more precise, no specs at all were mentioned. is it a 720p or 1080p tv?, do you have any latency-expensive modes running on the tv? Is it aspect-correct on both the tv and monitor? (4:3 on 16:10/9)
^ What Justin said. Sit far away from your monitor, and it will be just as clear. Monitors are also sharper than TVs are, because you're meant to sit really close to them. Are you sure you have the proper aspect ratio for your monitor as well? It shouldn't be stretched. Running 4:3 on a 16:9 monitor is going to be…
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…
what's to stop you from looking secondhand? yes, it's harder to source, but i'd rather get the undisputed best CRT in the world than have to deal with the crapshoot that comes with buying an LCD. i got my fw900 for $50 and i see people get them for free quite often... you just need to stop being lazy and look beyond the…
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…
