Does recording with a 1080p monitor make a difference?

[Guest]

Okay i have a 1366x768 monitor and my videos look ugly when you fullscreen them, its bothering the fuck outtta me and i do render them. But im wondering those it make a differnce if i have a 1080p monitor?

Depends what resolution you're viewing the video at, usually though: yes.

[Firearm2112]

Yea. The resolution you record at is usually the same as your monitor, unless you change it.

what is your screen size? I have a Macbook Air 11" and that is its resolution, and when I play videos on 720p and 1080p they both look good except for the text in 1080p

Just set your graphics card to output at 1080p. I have mine set to 1200p (16:10)

how do i do that?

Linus made a video, your monitor may not like it though...

You record at whatever resolution your screen is. So if your screen is 1366x768, then the max you can record at is 1366x768. There's workarounds you can do to get it to 1080p, but they're useless for for gaming.

Ya i just did that and it looked terrible. ill just wait till i get a monitor. whats a good monitors thats under 300$? 

If you have the graphics power then take a look at the Korean 1440p monitors

Check out the Dell Ultrasharp U2312HM:

It's a solid monitor and looks good.

What? 23"?...OOOO what about dis one? www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313&cm_re=Asus_3D_monitor-_-24-236-313-_-Product

Seems like a solid choice, it has good reviews. It's a TN panel, but if you want 144Hz then you have to live with TN.

That's an awesome monitor. It's TN though, but I don't think there's any IPS with this low response time. Also the 3D on these Asus monitors is useless.

[FizzyFantom]

Lol i really dont care about TN. it doesnt bother me. and i just want 144hz and 1080p tbh.

In which case that monitor is a good choice. You should look at other 144Hz monitors before buying anything.

There is one positive thing about TN monitors. You don't get any sort of glow. So blacks will look as black as they can be for a TN monitor.

That's VA. TN has the grayest blacks

I play at 768p via iGPU while I'm RMA'ing my 290, but record @ 1080p anyway for ease of editing and outputting to youtube without resizing further from the get-go.

Quicksync + OBS handles it all fine.

Well I know VA can produce deep blacks but it to, from reviews I've, still produces a bit of glow. So, yeah, I wasn't getting mixed up. That's why I said, quote, "so blacks will look as black as they can be for a TN monitor", I know what I was talking about plus I know my display technology really well and the characteristics of each display type.
