I've been around here for a while now and have argued this with many people, frankly I'm tired and surprised people don't have a clue how to calculate optimal viewing distance per screen size. Yes at 1 foot you may see pixels on your 23 inch monitor butmove back 2-3 feet..if you have 20/20 vision you won't see the pixels anymore. Tell you what, go through this thread and if you have anything to add feel free to post a reply... http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=133541&page=1 or even better...here is the post you should read - http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4206563 |
you don't have to calculate if people can see the dpi of a 1080p 23'' screen from 2-3 feet away (which should be between 60-90cm), you have to calculate if their eye can recognize differences above 720p. with a 23'' screen you have 96dpi and you can see ~300dpi from 25cm viewing distance (that's the average of what some scientists/specialists believe the eye can recognize) which means you can see differences up to 94dpi from 80cm distance. so, you can see almost the full 1080p. but the more important question is if you can see the differences between 720p and 1080p (which could be every resolution betweeen those two) and you can clearly see them on a 23'' screen from 80cm distance. i tested it between 720p (or something similiar, have a 16:10 screen) and 1680x1050 on my 22'' in battlefield 3 with ultra settings and it was a huge difference. it looked really bad because i was used to see a higher res. my distance is maybe 60cm but not exactly sure.
