720p on 1080p Display VS. 720p on 720p Display.

[jass]

M assembling a new budget PC, i have got the parts and m looking for a display.

 

So i ran a 720p movie in 1080p phone and in a 720p phone...it was looking better on 720p Display,may be cz of the full usage of pixels.

 

Will it be same with a  Monitor, cz my new budget GPU isn't capable of running latest games on 1080p on medium resolution.

 

So should i go phore a 720p Display or 1080p.

 

Thanx in Advance

The 720p on 720p is generally going to be the better option, however you may like the future proofing of going with a 1080p monitor plus while on your desktop it will make that experience nicer. (Browsing etc)

I would still go for a 1080p display, because you can always upgrade the GPU, plus investing good money for a Monitor is a good idea in my opinion especially the future.

I'd go 1080p, that way you can use the extra screen real estate for non-game stuff, and sub-1080p panels don't really have a place in the world anymore.

 

What's your budget, size preference, and needed input(s)?

Actually what you'd wanna do is upscale 720p to 1440p (similar to 1080p to 4k)

Yes this would be the best option as you get your good quality while also future proofing.

I would look for a 1080p, IPS or PLS display. 

 

Is such a big improvement over the cheap 1366 x 768 displays.

That's a TN panel, I guess is ok, But personally I prefer the colors of the other kinds of displays.

what's UPSCALING ur display.

upscaling simply means resizing in this context. 

He says that ideally, you'd want that 1280x720 video be resized to double, because that means each pixel will use exactly 4 pixels on the new display. So you'd want a 2560x1440 resolution display for an "ideal" playback of 720p content. 

However, it wouldn't be ideal for other resolutions... for example a 1920x1080 movie would be resized by 33.33333% so the image quality may suffer a tiny bit. 

And a 2.35:1 cinema style movie which would be 1920 x 800 would be would be resized to 2560x 1060 pixels leaving big black bars around the image.

 

Go with a 1080p monitor, ideally with a VA or PLS or IPS panel - all of these have better color reproduction compared to cheaper TN panels.

Lower resolution movies and games will run just fine on such monitor.

Do any monitors ACTUALLY do that kind of pixel doubling? Every monitor I've ever heard of in my entire life uses a blurry bilinear resizing, no matter the input and output resolutions
