PS4 on a 1600x900 monitor

[AkhTwo]

I will be buying a ps4 this month. Will it look crappy on a 1600x900 monitor? It(PS4) has no option of 900p in the settings. It(PS4) is either 720p or 1080p? Does 1080p look good on it?

The PS4 only adhere to TV resolutions, so you're stuck with either 720p, 1080i, or 1080p.

 

So for a 1600x900 monitor, you're probably only going to get 720p. Maybe 1080i.

well if you chose 720p the PS4 will downscale to 720 and then the TV will have to upscale to 1080 which will need a lot of unnecessary interpolation. To go from 1080 down to 900 will just be downscaling, which won't hurt the image as much

most 1600x900 TVs will accept a 1080p image, most 720(768) TVs too
