I've actually got a 46" TV which I'm sitting about 6foot from. I live in the UK, "across the room" isn't actually that far :p


then you're roughly where you should..

and it means 720p vs 1080p will be quite noticeable. Unless there's something wrong with your tv lol

Seeing as how we're on this topic, anybody here who, like me enjoys the benefits of 1080p, has tried playing a Wii U game both at a 720p TV and on the game pad? How different did it look and how many visual issues "transferred" to the pad? I don't know any person that owns one so I can't try


After upscaling, I wouldn't be able to tell you what the native resolution of a 720p or 1080p game is. I can tell SD material, but like most people, I needed digital foundry to tell me that PS3/360 games were sub HD natively before I knew that. As do most people. However I can clearly tell SD content both on TV and games consoles.

You will hate playing Wii U games on the pad if you're as sensitive as you say. I find all the artifacts degrading the image quality really annoying. (there's a lot of compression added to the image, see I can see all this, even if I don't really notice the end resolution as much ;)) there's also poor black levels with the pad. It looks infinitely better on a decent TV screen than it does on the cheap LCD display of the pad.

Tbh those beautiful 720p Wii U games look as good to me as anything in 1080p on PS4. Even if they're not as technically sophisticated. Wii U (720p upscaled to 1080p) vs PS4 (1080p native) on the same display is a big part of how I now I can't really discern the difference after upscaling.

There's a lot more to image quality than raw resolution.
