I extended my desktop to my 32" Emmerson LCD TV and set my resolution to the native 1366x760 which is 720P but things still look "ugly". The text is by far not as crisp as a monitor, however a 720p TV channel or movie looks fine. Why is this? Is it because the screen is physically too big? What is the relationship between resolution and screen size. 720p looks good on a 32" TV, but what about a 60", 100", 1000000"? Is there an upper limit to the physical size compared to resolution and that is why my monitor looks ugly?
Your dimensions are for a 56-inch TV: a 32-inch TV is 27.9 by 15.7 - it would be a very strange world indeed where one of the sides of a rectangle was 50% longer than the diagonal. – AFH – 2014-06-18T22:46:16.910
Both. A screen with a greater DPI will need a higher resolution picture at the same screen size. – Cornelius – 2014-06-18T17:38:06.780
Why does a movie look good on the TV then? – asdgfasdfasdf – 2014-06-18T18:07:48.447
