I've done most of my gaming on console.

So my friend has borrowed me his PC for a week along with his 1366x768(720p) monitor.

I don't get it,when i play pc games on 720p monitor games look much better/crispier than playing console games on my 720p 32"tv.

Granted i played high settings/AA but still even with no AA lower res games do look better on monitor.

its because the pixel density is higher on a smaller screen making it sharper (crisp) also 1366x768 isnt 720p

How do you not get it? The PC has far superior hardware, thus it can push much better graphics. Also keep in mind on current gen consoles the game textures are most likely something like a 560p upscaled to 720 or 1080.

The image isn't as stretched out so it looks crisper. It's like blowing up a low resolution picture on a computer. Increasing size without increasing resolution lowers the image quality and vice versa

Yeah, it's because PC has much better graphics, even though you're playing at 720p.

 

What size is your friend's monitor? It could be due to the increased PPI (pixels per inch) and the above reason.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

It's 19.5 inch monitor.Yeah i totally forgot about PPI. I'm a fucking idiot,instead of buying console i could have build a 400$ pc and play bf3 with 64 players at 720p.

I never thought pc 720p would look so much better than on console,i just assumed both pc and tv are 720p so there's no differences.Boy was i wrong.(i can't even imagine how 1080p looks like lol)
