| MikeB said: 1080p means 1080 lines progressively scanned, 1280 x 1080 (or 1440 x 1080 , etc) is also a very high resolution despite not being FullHD. IMO on a small to average sized TV 768 progressively scanned lines is plenty unless you have eagle eyes. I would like to mention Super Stardust HD, a very impressive 1080p, 60 FPS game! |
Really? It doesn't look like that on my tv. I'll have to check.
Edit: I just checked, and it looks like it uses a similar trick to what Ninja Gaiden Sigma or the GT5 demo thing uses (1080 lines high, but not 1920 across). On my display from a distance it comes across as a slightly more crisp 720p if I don't look up close. Still a great looking game though.
Also, as HappySquirrel says below, 1080p must be 1920x1080. "Full HD" is just marketing speak for 1080p. Some people have been misinformed into thinking that anything with 1080 lines vertical is 1080p, while 1920x1080 is "Full HD 1080p" ..which isn't the case.
Does resolution REALLY matter though? It's more like a bonus. Hell, I'd rather play ancient low-res games like X-Com or more recent SD games like Okami than a lot of the new stuff that comes out these days...
