| TWRoO said: Well my bedroom TV is a 19" 720p at 16:9, and is about 7ft away (little annoyed I am having to do things in feet and inches for this, but nm) which works out at 94.3 ppd. Not sure on your calculations in the OP svennoJ... you claim the calculation is: Horizontal resolution x 0.2 x dist / diag But then your examples indicate you used 0.02 instead of 0.2 Or for some popular resolutions: Ah, hang on, the distance is probably supposed to be in the same measurment as the diagonal (my mistake) and the 0.2 was a mistake and meant to be 0.02. Which gives my setup as 113.2 ppd... though as I only use a 480p signal I guess I game at 75.5 ppd |
Thanks, I made a typo, it is 0.02. I corrected it.
And yes the units for distance and diagonal don't matter as long as they are the same.
Most games don't use 1080p, not even the full 720p. Anyway I was looking for the best case scenario, is there a reason to go beyond 1080p next gen or after. I think it will be worthwile as screens keep getting bigger to get a wider field of view.
HD remakes look so much more pleasant then wii games on big screens although they are not as graphically impressive. The extra resolution makes it a lot easier on the eyes. Playing Wii games at the SMPTE standard of 30 degrees field of view will give you 27.7 ppd at the center.
