Gaming - 720p or 1080i? - View Post

What about 1080p bluray movies being played on a 720p res? Will it affect the quality when it's downscaled?

 

It shouldn't, but then it depends on the size and quality of your screen

anything much larger than about 46" and you might notice some strange effects

once you get over that size, the image has become shrunk (to 720), then stretched (to over 46")to fit the screen, making it potentially blurry or blocky depending on your upscaler/processor in your screen. having the "p" as opposed to "i" will make transitions from frame to frame a lot smoother though (better motion onscreen)
