Poll: For Console Gamers & Their TV's

[Bvenged]

This poll is to quench my curiosity of "How many 720p/1080i TV's are used on 720p?"[footnote] Other options included too as not not let people feel left out.[/footnote]. I ask this question as not too long ago I found out gaming looks better on 720p after assuming that the bigger the number, the better; and wondered how many others had assumed this too.

Basically, it all comes down to personal preference; but for optimal visuals for your use of the TV, consider this:

720p(progressive scan) is much better at delivering sharp HD imagery for motion picture. This could be general gameplay to looking at TV. It's progressively scanning the video stream to keep up with the rapidly changing pixels.

1080i (interlaced video) is a greater resolution, but is actually up-scaled 720p. 1080i takes two quick snaps at the video and the projects the contrasted image back onto the screen. It's much crisper than 720p, but is also much less-sharp when the video is changing rapidly (gameplay/action movies).

So, for the comments: Expand on your answer to the poll; and will you change your mind after reading this thread?

1080P for me. It's pretty much standard for any TV around my area unless you really go for the cheap and pick up a 720P, but I rarely see that many around the stores anymore.

SD T.V. I kid you not, I'll probably never get an HD T.V.

 

[Evil Smurf]

eh, the wii is not HD neither is the TV. Although before I get a new TV money needs to be spent elsewhere in the house

 

[FamoFunk]

1080p have done for a few years now, I've picked up two at 26" and 42" for dirt cheap.

SD T.V. I kid you not, I'll probably never get an HD T.V.

In 2011, that's preposterous!

Sorry, but I've lived with HD since 2008, and I can't seem me using a non HD for my main TV ever again.

I have a 40Inch and a 19Inch, both capable of a 1080p display. I use it when possible, but most ps3 games don't support it.

Same. And unless my current TV stops working, or I end up with more money than I know what to do with, I don't plan on getting an HDTV for a loooooooong time.

 

[Gaiseric]

720p. That's the highest my TV goes.

That was my stance, then my SD TV broke

 

[TheSteeleStrap]

720. Just because my TV is 720. Works just fine.

 

[SD-Fiend]

did they have any of those in the 90's? if not then there's no chance of mine being any of those

 

[Gammayun]

i have SD widescreen but oneday maybe i will get a 1080p tv

My 22" LCD is supposedly 'HD' but to my eyes the visuals on both my 360 and PS3 are like a PC game with the lowest possible texture resolution, no anti-aliasing with stretching. Honestly, games looked a hell of a lot better on the 43" CRT downstairs, despite the large pixels.

Honestly though, I'm starting to think the issue is with the TV, as it has a dead pixel close to the center of the screen. I've tried in in 720, 1080i, 1080p and all sorts. I've tried two different HDMI cables too, with no success.

I really wanted to see what MGS4 would look like, too. Was so disappointed

Sorry, I ended up ranting there. Apologies!

HD since 2006, and going back is unthinkable.

Bigger screens, better pictures, and they don't take up half the damn room!

edit - I have 2 1080p screens currently.

You do know that SD TV is being fazed out and soon you won't be able to actually use your TV as a TV right?

A 52" LED Sony Bravia for me. Games like a charm.

It wasn't all that long ago but we upgraded to a 1080p HD TV not all too long ago, and I still can't get over how amazing it looks.

 

[WeAreStevo]

1080p all the way for me. I actually use my 37 inch both for xbox and for my computer (connected through HDMI).

Starcraft 2 on a 37 inch TV is insanely awesome btw.

Same with me. Saving 400 for a hd right now since my SD is dieing on my. If it wasint, i would of waited at lest five more years

 

[DanielBrown]

Uff, not really sure.
The TV in my bedroom is 22" and plays games in 1080p and movies in 1080i, or the other way around. Recently bought a new one for the living room at 42" with a really amazing screen... so I guess it's the same out there.

Hadn't a clue. Then again, I pretty much never actually watch TV anyways. I use my computer for watching movies/videos on the internet.
