Topic: Is 720P good enough for a 42 inch screen ?

A2: Kung mayaman ka like me, you can sit at comfy 10' away from TV, you only need 720p

dapat bluray bilhin mo!

haha....kung ako mayaman BLURAY lahat ng bibilhin ko parang si sir MARK lang...

wala naman pinaguusapang yaman at dukha sa thread tsk tsk tsk....

relax naman ako hehe... baka madami makabasa nyan....hindi sila magiging relax

[joko11]

Poser yourself, you can have blueray, media player, etc... Pag sinabing 1080p or 720p yung resolution yun. Of course ang assumption is the real deal hindi yung converted signal. O sige na nga para masaya ka, for the 720p and 1080p post above use blueray (same lahat both 1080p output) and let the 720p tv do the downgrading. Daming noobs :-p

puso mo pre.naka ilang bypass na yan relax lang

[the_w0rks]

it's blu-ray btw, not blueray.hahaha

[raider125jeigh]

it's blu-ray btw, not blueray.hahaha

kulay blue kasi ung cover haha...

[Tempter]

it's blu-ray btw, not blueray.hahaha

it was called bluray because the ray is actually blue. so go figure

[the_w0rks]

I know. Just pointing it how it is actually called - blu-ray without an e to the blu.

aysusmariajosep daming noobs!!!

the most important factor in determining if you should go for 720p vs 1080p on a 42" TV is distance from your viewing position.

42" 720p = 8feet
42" 1080p = 5feet

if you are at the above viewing distance, you wont see pixelation.

Q: So how does the statement about BlueRay vs 720 works?
A: At 8ft you wont notice which is which, but go close to 5ft and you can easily differentiate 720p

Q: I want 42" for my sala, do I go for 720p or 1080p?
A1: If you are poor (as in mahirap ka), chances are, you have a small living room, you need to sit closer to the TV, so definitely a 1080p for you.
A2: Kung mayaman ka like me, you can sit at comfy 10' away from TV, you only need 720p
A3: If you have a really rich dad, !@#$ka bakit ka mag po portitu

Q: I want 42" for my bedroom, do I go for 720p or 1080p?
A1: Depende sa edad mo, if you are old (40s+), you need 1080p because you tend to sit closer to the TV, your pea-sized brain will tell you to get closer (as a natural reflex) pero ang totoo eye fatigue yun dala ng katandaan. Closer to TV = 1080p.
A2: If you are younger, yuppy, nagsisimula pa lang, dukha, you need 720p, chances are you are more interested in your bedroom action hence lie on a bed with TV far from the edge of the bed. Far from TV = details converge = 720p

Q: Now to answer the all important question do I need 1080p to watch HD porn?
A: No brainer, absolutely YES! porn is something you'd rather watch up close and personal (as in 1.5' from screen) because you want to feel the action

 

Parang baliktad ata. Saan ninyo nakuha ito sir?

Dami ko tawa dito haha..

Lols lupet mo talaga master nelson dami ko din tawa..

The ability to discern between 720p and 1080p is a natter of viewing distance and screen size.  The chart below should tell you at what viewing distance a 42-incher should be so you can see some difference



If I were to interpret this chart, on a 42" screen size, a 720p picture has maximum benefit at around 8ft viewing distance.

But shorter than 8ft, a 1080p picture on a 42" starts to benefit the viewer and will have the maximum benefit around 5ft viewing distance.

This means at 8ft and above, you will not see any difference. but below 8ft, you can start seeing the superiority of 1080p over 720p in a 42-incher.

The implication here is that 720p will be just fine on a 42" TV if your viewing distance is at least 8ft away. Having a 1080p content won't make a difference at that distance. 

But if your viewing distance is only 7ft or 6ft or 5ft, having a 1080p resolution will now matter.

Another implication here is that at 8ft viewing distance, if you plan to upgrade to a 50" TV, it should now be 1080p.  Because 8ft is within the range where 1080p matters for a 50-incher.  And if you upgrade to 64" you get the maximum benefit for 1080p. Larger than 64" and you will start to see pixels on the screen unless it is 4K.

720P looks outstanding on my 92" screen. Can't imagine it looking much better tbh.

[javauser]

Funny that this thread actually extended to 6 pages. The answer is "yes"

[the_w0rks]

maybe we need a categorical answer to a clear question.

With all the discussion here, does this mean that a 720p (HD Ready) tv is good enough for viewing materials which are 1080p? No distortion/pixelation?

Because if that's the case, then why the hell do I need a full HD tv if it's going to show my Full HD blu rays perfectly on a 720p?

if it downscaled then you already loss details

Common answers would be, depending on the viewing distance. If you sitting near a 42" tv, like 4 feet, then most often, mahahalata mo yun pixelization. But if you are sitting mora than 9 feet away from the TV, hindi noticeable ang difference. this is of course, assuming na same maker/model, contrast ratio etc.

[the_w0rks]

then that means 720p a.k.a. HD ready tvs does not fully show the capability of a blu ray disc? will it have pixelization?

I hope someone who has experience with a blu ray disc and both HD-Ready and FullHD tv can clarify this. Kasi if HD-Ready is good enough...then really, pointless nga mag Full HD pag blu ray.

pointless talaga kung lagpas ka sa recomended viewing distance.

If I'm ten feet away from my friend's "retina" MacBook Pro, I can't see anything.

I love lisa_mae's explanation, by the way. And that is why I am going 1080p for the 42-incher I'm buying.
