GT5 graphics aren't that impressive

1215 x 683 ?  Where do I buy this magical 1215 x 683 television?  my 1080P Samsung does not have this as an available option.

Never heard of image scaling? To be honest a native resolution capture would actually look worse. After they reduce the size of the image it acts as a form of supersampling and it reduces the geometry/shader aliasing.

Grabbed wrong image, sorry meant to grab this one:

The other picture I mentioned earlier could have been scaled down from a 720 or 1080 picture

1080 / 683 = 1.58

1.58 * 1215 = 1920(ish)

so either a 1920 x 1080 image or a 1280 x 760 image

Though the one in this post says a resolution of 1280 x 853

1280 x 853 does not make sense to what I know for typical resolutions, if anyone else can enlighten me, feel free

1280 x 853 is close to a 720 x 480 resolution if you multiply both by 0.5625...  so my question is why is someone taking a SD screen capture and then stretching it to the vertical resolution is 1280? (which is an HD vertical resolution)  

Probably to make the game look worse than it is :P
