I plan on purchasing a dynex 42″ flat panel LCD 1080 hdtv. I also own PS3 and a 360. Is this a good deal? I want the best tv possible for my games
1080p not just 1080. Woops
IMO, 360 games in 1080p (regardless of how it gets there) look better than 720p games on the PS3 BUT from what I’ve seen 1080p games on the PS3 look better than 1080p games on the 360.
Again my opinion only, fanboys on either camp may whinge and wine and call me a troll (oh dear) but that’s what I’ve experienced so far.
I say it again I think it’s a disgrace the amount of PS3 games that are in 720p but I’m glad to hear the tide is turning because I think the difference is noticeable on any 1080p TV.
Never heard of Dynex and without knowing how much you are paying couldn’t comment on whether it’s a good deal or not… I’d go for a Sony or Samsung if money is no limit…
@ Slippy Sloppy - You’ve also got to remember that just because your TV says it’s running in 1080p doesn’t actually mean that it is. Modern Warfare claimed 1080p goodness but was proven to be running at something like 640p…
@The Future of Sega
I’ve got Samsung and I’m very happy with it but I’m also gonna throw Toshiba into the mix. My mate’s got one that has <10mm casing surrounding the screen and it looks amazing. It also means that if you buy a 40″ the TV in total isn’t much bigger than that.
Any game with any substantial degree of visual complexity is NOT going to run on the 360 or PS3 at a native 1080×1920 resolution. These consoles just don’t have the graphical grunt to do so. Even the very latest top end graphics cards for the PC struggle at these resolutions.
What about MGS4, WipeOut HD then? Are these not 1080p games? They look it to me and the quality is certainly sharper and with less jaggies than the majority of 720p games. 1080p games on the 360 (no matter how it gets there) also seem to have that edge over the 720p game on the PS3 - Pure being a very good example.
Is it simply upscaling? If it is it still looks better and surely what started the debate is GOW III being in 1080p and I don’t doubt that games graphical complexity.
WipeOut HD runs at a rock solid native 1080p 60fps and doesn’t show a hint of slow down evern when you have quake, rockets, mines, bombs and 8 racers all at the same time. And the game is very good looking and detailed. So it can be done and can be done well, we just need more developers to aim for the standards set with WipeOut
“What about MGS4, WipeOut HD then? Are these not 1080p games?”
WipeOut yes, MGS4 no.
MGS4’s native resolution is confirmed to be 1024*768 with some AA (hence less jaggies and therefore appears as if it’s at a higher res), and it is then scaled to your TV’s resolution of 720p or 1080p.
