Why is Taiwan, Korea and Japan so stuck up about low resolution display laptops? 7 <email_at_www_at_enemygadgets_dot_com@enemygadgets.com> - 2015-10-11 16:38 +0100

I don't want to need a magnifying glass to do stuff. This is 2015, not 1985. These puny monitors need to go. It apalls me that even arrogant Mac users buy into this nonsense.

There's truly no excuse to be producing computers with resolutions as low as 1280x720 or 1366x768. I understand that it's 720p, but if it's not good enough on a 50" TV, why would it be good enough on a computer? -- A.M

The funny part is that for the vast majority of viewers, they wouldn't see the difference between a 720p and 1080i/p because the source they are mostly using isn't really providing a superb video stream. ie;cable/sat/ streaming services. -- Lloyd

Depending on the size of the screen, they won't see a difference between 720p and 1080i. However, the moment you reach 50", the difference between 720p and 1080p (notice the p) is very visible. Obviously, a lot of cable providers try to save on bandwidth by compressing the image they deliver, so HD never really looks as clean as it should so 720p and 1080i look very similar but my fiber optics-based IPTV system provides an uncompressed image and the 1080p in particular looks much better than a 720p image. -- A.M

I've got a 73" DLP. Ever watch ESPN and see how great their stuff looks? It is usually 720p. 1080p does look better, but that isn't what the cable/sat guys are putting out except in some PPVs. Even most streaming is at most 1080i I think. -- Lloyd

Even most streaming is at most 1080i I > think. If you connect an antenna (yes, the old ones) to your TV and find signals in your area, whichever are HD are actually broadcasting at 1080i. You'll notice that the image is beautiful and uncompressed so the details are exquisite. That same TV show on a regular cable broadcast would be blurry because of the compression. However, some cable/fiber optics IPTV system are actually broadcasting certain shows in 1080p, mine is one of them. You won't notice much difference between 1080i and 1080p unless you're watching sports. -- A.M
