Its there any way that you can make 1080p look better?

[DanWhite]

Hello, this question maybe'll sound troll but you know, I want to ask it any way. Its there any way to make a movie or whatever you're watching on a 1080p display look even better, more detailed someway, with any configuration, software or anything? if you know about something like that please let me know below and, if nothing to do that exists and this question its too troll, sorry about that, I just want to watch videos at the most high quality that my display lets me

 

And my display its from the dell precision m6600 workstation

Most likely no.

If you are playing a low resolution video on a high resolution screen it is possible to get some better image quality by tweaking upscaling settings, but if you are playing something at a native resolution there isn't that much you can do. Your best bet is to get a higher quality video if possible.

 

By "quality" I don't mean resolution by the way. Two 1080p videos of the same movie can look very different if other things such as bit rate and other encoding settings are different.

it's also different for each monitor.

at work we have some older benq monitors and even though they're 1080p

they look substantially worse than the new ones i made my boss buy

So if I'm playing a video at 1080p on a 1080p display it can't look any better?

In what way they look that worse?

hard to explain.

in general it looks worse, some times pixels are visible (depending on how close you are to the monitor) and they look worse.

the viewing angles (all of em are IPS panels) being worse and brightness is okay, but if you turn it up everything turn white, and unplesant.

Alright I see

Not really.

You can calibrate your monitor and it might look a bit better. That would require a calibration tool though (hardware, that you need to buy).

 

But no, there isn't much you can do other than change video source (as in, get a different video to play).

but try checking your graphics drivers, or the brightness/contrast on your monitor settings (buttons on monitor) ajusting thoose could make it better

I have the nvidia quadro 3000m with the latest drivers I think. I have said that is a laptop display

Not that I know of my dude, theres minor settings and bullshit you can change but wont do anything substantial.

Sit further back, do it in 1 foot increments until the lines are crisp

There's lots of factors here. No one really talks about pixel density with monitors, but it's still a thing, just like with a phone screen. At a certain distance of your eyes from the display, pixels blend together and are indistinguishable to the human eye. The closer your eyes are to the display, the more dense it must be to "hide" the pixels, whereas the farther you are away, the less dense the display needs to be.

 

This is why 1080p generally looks good even on like 50in TVs and such, because you're generally 6ft or further from the screen. However, with something like a computer monitor, that distance is going to be closer to a foot. At that distance you will see pixels on a 1080p monitor if it's any larger than like 24in max. Anything in the 30+ inch range for a monitor really needs to be 1440p or higher.

 

However, then, you're dealing with upscaling that 1080p content to 1440p or 4K, which is going to cause visual artifacting. For a good visual experience, you're going to need some sort of sophisticated software upscaling. Sometimes, the monitor itself is capable of handling this, or the GPU might have some sort of AI upscaling feature. There's also things like M-cable to do it in the actual cable going to the monitor.

A movie, no , beyond ur usual software filters and such, like de noising etc.

 

For gaming, yes ofc, aside for maxing out the settings u can also render above 1080p, like at 4k to gain a sizable boost in fidelity.
