If you're 12 feet away, it's good enough. Pero as you get nearer, mashalata mo yun pixels so you would like a higher resolution tv.

Teka, we're talking plasmas and lcds dito...?

From my experience with my tv (55 inch) from 6ft away. It's extremely hard to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p.

I'm watching 720p material on my PJ about 92 inches size.. Ok naman sya so far... Or baka wala akong GoldenEye he he he

kung 720 ang source ok yan.
mahirap mag compare kung iisa ang source at iisa ang tv

elms and i played 720p on louie's pana via htpc and seems to be good though... sorry ot ako

720p still ok with 42inch ...
if your playing it via htpc or media player check the information of the file kung 720p talaga
meron kasing file na file name 720p pero when you check hindi pala talaga..file name lang sya hehehe

on my 40 sometimes its hard to tell the diff of 1080 sa 720 unless the file is really crap
viewing it at 5-6ft

sa mga nabasa ko 55" below di raw mapapansin ang difference ng 720 and 1080 in a certain distance. ako naman on my 51 plasma 720 lang rin pinapanood ko kasi 720 rin ang native display ng panel. ok naman and ok rin ang 1080 di ko ma differentiate. viewing distance is prolly around 5 - 6ft from the tv.

I would suggest the HDMI route.

Para hindi ako OT:

for a 42" screen 720p is good enough, will you notice the difference if you play 1080p? my answer is also yes but that will depend on how near you are to the screen.

There is actually a thread here that discusses setting up and I think you would get more replies if you post there, but to get you started,  people more often than not build around the speakers.

Yes, IMO it's exactly that.. good enough. Pero kung hindi naman masyado malaki ang difference sa price, I'd go with a Full HD TV.

For someone with 20/20 vision (1 arcminute spatial resolution) and a 42" screen, the difference between a true 720p panel and a higher res panel should be noticeable from 8 feet and closer (if one knows what to look for).

(http://www.rtings.com/images/resolutions-worth-it-comparison.png)

With 1024 x 768 panels becoming more common: Someone with 20/20 vision should be able to perceive a difference at 10 feet between 1024 x 768 screens and higher res panels.

The difference is more visible with slow-moving text and other high contrast material. With video that has smooth gradations, it is far less perceptible (and even if you see the difference, it may not bother you).

The resolving power of the eye is higher than what most people think. It's just that different people process the visual data differently. It's best to compare for yourself.

Question is what is your comparison with 720p and 1080p? Is the 1080p you are comparing is a real 108p bluray or just a 1080p encode? If you will notice the encoded 1080p is not real 1080p most of the time encoded 1080p is just  1920 X 800 and so on not 1920 x 1080p. So if you compare the 1080p encoded to the 720p you can't see the difference since most of the time their difference is on size and video bitrate. The encoded 1080p is slightly with higher size and video bitrate. A real 1080 in mkv is the remux one with same video bitrate as the bluray so this should be the one you will compare to a 720p or the bluray disc itself. For example you the total recall 70p to a 1080p encode and real 1080p.

720p
ViDEO BiTRATE...: x264 L4.1 High @ 5409 Kbps
RESOLUTiON......: 1280 X 534
FilE SiZE.......: 5.53GB

1080p Encode
ViDEO BiTRATE...: x264 @ 10352 Kbps
RESOLUTiON......: 1920 X 800
FilE SiZE.......: 10GB

Real 1080p / Bluray
ViDEO BiTRATE...: 19404 kbps
RESOLUTiON......:1920 x 1080
Main Movie Size:  24.5GB

If you can see on the spec above the real 1080p has a bigger size than the 720p 3x the size and the video bitrate. This is also like others like on using cable or on the audio side flac and other that hey can notice the difference but not all can observe the difference. Some don't bother to see the difference as long as they are viewing a high definition not a dvd type movie. So if you play the 1080p encode on a 720p TV you wont it will fit and you can't see any difference because the real resolution of the 1080p encode is bit higher than 720p it 1920 x 800.

1920 x 1080 VS 1920 X 800 ???
AFAIK the removed pixel count (removed 280p?) is the black bars .  anong details ba ang nawawala dun sa black bar?

1080p is the whole screen diba. 
alam ko gawa nung encoders eh yung blackbar tinatanggal nila, pero pwede parin ma-view with black bars pero mas maliit yung file.  but still @ 1080p.

false.

original aspect ratio still maintained, pixels are still mapped 1:1 even after removal of black bars.

what makes "remux" better than "encodes" is the higher bitrate (no discared information from the original-studio-master-to-blu-ray encoding)



BTT:
higher pixel count is a waste if you're eyes are unable to resolve it. with all things being equal, 720p (screen resolution and/or program material) can be good enough on a 42" screen if you sit far enough. sit too close and you might start to see the limitations of that resolution.

Nope encoders does not remove black bars. Like CHD and framestor group and if you will see my sample not only resolution is decrease but video bitrate also 720p and 1080p encode. AFAIK when you decrease the video bitrate the PQ detail is affected.

+1

Remux is the original video and audio no encode has been done so still the PQ is like bluray. If you will check the video bitrate of the remux and bluray they are the same.

Why they will make such a big file if it will same PQ as the 5GB or 10GB with lesser video bitrate.

Its on the eye of the viewer if your don't see the difference good as you are watching the orig bluray. As for me i see the difference as i have 20/20 vision pa din as per last checking of my eyes.  ;) ;) ;)

Lols bro yung kasing video bitrate 720p 5409kbps vs 1080p encode 10352kbps vs bluray/remux 1080p 19404kbps ang laki ng difference yan kasi base ang PQ.  ;) ;) ;) ;)

i have tried 720p and 1080p material on a 65" full-hd plasma and i can't see any difference. probably i'll see the difference in resolution if my eyes are a couple of inches away from the tv. but why would i watch movies that way? siguro di lang ako mapili. sabi nga nila, less choosy more happy  O0

720p ok na , i watch 720p sa 47" ok naman, pero pag fast paced action, you'll notice da diff with 720p vs. 1080p.

maganda lang sa 1080p, you can fill in most of your screen and at fast action scenes, mas stable. then again, nasa encoding din nagkakatalo.

For a 42in, the quality is good enough,  satisfied na ako, but if it's a movie that I really like or if I know there's a lot of special effects ,  I download 1080p if possible.

720p is enough for 42 inch and below. but if you can afford the 1080p version, i'd go for that for this weird reason - if one of your pixel dies in your 42" 1080p panel, it's less distracting cuz the pixel is smaller compared to the 720p variant.

Pano naging mas maganda ang encode kung ang source nung encode is yung sa source din na mas mataas ang bitrate. Parang sinabi mo na mas maganda ang encode sa bluray. AFAIK i have tested good encode from trusted encoders but still i can see the difference of bluray from those encode.  ;) ;) ;)

seriously though ang ibig ko sabihin, source vs. "untouched" vs. a very good encoded file with smaller size
without knowing which one is playing, are you sure and willing to subject yourself sa double blind test?  and if in case you fail, titigilan na ba natin pag usapan yan at i-download yan mga untouched na yan, except for porns?   :P :P
IIRC meron na nga shootout nito dati, which also involves media players.  they know there's a difference but could not tell which one is better or which one is being played by the more expensive player.

What's the meaning of the title?

720p as in "720p resolution panel" or 720p as in "720p encode"?

If the question is regarding the panel itself, then 720p at 42 inch should be enough if you dont mind seeing the pixel structure, or if you sit far enough - from around 2-meters away or farther.  But during the past 3 years or so, major CE makers have stopped any significant improvements on 720p panels, thus, napag-iwanan na ng panahon and technology.

If the question is regarding the quality of encode compared to the source, based on my observation among PDVD friends, there is a good percentage of people who like having nearly 300 titles in a single 2TB, but there is also a good amount of people who'd rather have around 150 titles in a single 2TB, and finally, there are some who would prefer to have barely 50 Full BD rips within the same 2TB.  Since all of those people seem happy, that means whether 720p or 1080p or Full BD - No Problem La - basta maganda ang encode and more importantly, maganda ang titles.  Yeah, although I personally prefer to watch Full BDs, I'd say 720p encode for a 42 inch (or even 50) is enough.  Maski nga WEB DL quality, very tolerable pa rin basta maganda ang HDTV.

Some people claim to see the difference in resolution between a 720p encode and a 1080p encode?  Really?  Sabi nga ni Pugo, Dasalasanansens! - IMO!  hehehe.  A brilliantly encoded 720p only needs to be magnified 2x in order to fit a 1080p screen. If the quality of a 720p encode is decent enough, that much magnification would not deteriorate the image quality to the point that it becomes crap and completely distinguishable from a 1080p encode - ESPECIALLY, if you have a very very very very very very very very very good HDTV.

In my observation, the discernible differences between a 720p encode and 1080p encode are as follows:
1.  Color saturation - lowering the bitrate makes the color "less rich".  But then, if you don't have the master Bluray source playing on the side, how can you establish a reference?  And also, there are Blurays which have generally dull, or dark colors, that even the master look kinda crap.  On the other hand, there are also contents which are extremely colorful that no matter how much an encode gets compressed, remains colorful enough.

2.  Compression artifacts - blocky parts, all sorts of blemishes, jagged edges here and there which are easily visible in monotonously bright areas of the image or at the edges.

3.  720p encodes would generally have less grain, thus fakely cleaned image - because grain requires a lot of bitrate.  If the source is too grainy and the encoder wants to remain transparent to such graininess, he must increase the bitrate as much as he could - thus resulting in a bigger filesize.

The main objective of prime (internal) encoding groups is to remain as transparent to the source (colors, grains, sharpness, image cleanliness, etc.) as reasonably possible and as they technically can, by manually manipulating the detailed encoding settings of the X264.  I understand that a "good" 720p encode takes at least 72 hours of non-stop encoding, while those fast scene/public releases under automated encoding settings can easily finish in hours.  Hence, a brilliant 720p encode is soooo much more challenging to make than a 1080p one, while a Remux is the easiest.

Genius encoders themselves require side by side screenshots with the Bluray source in order to gauge the quality of their masterful encode.  Take note, "screenshots" meaning (frozen) frame grabs from the moving image, then micro-analyzed (zoomed, etc.).  So paano na kung moving image to moving image ang comparison.,

Ang possibleng makita kahit walang reference ay compression artifacts.

And yun crappy "BDRips" are encoded from encode (to save on filesize) and not from bluray source - kaya yun na nga ang quality.   Kung baga sa coconut, pangalawa or pangatlong piga ng gata ;)

Kung claim lang, tiyak na meron yon.  Madali lang naman mag-claim na may golden eye, ear, nose, tongue, touch.

It's more about bitrate.   I've seen 720p encodes that looked so much better than 1080p material because the former had an almost equal or higher bitrate.  There are 1080p encodes with only 1.5GB file size and the same title in a 720p encode but with 4.5GB file looked better.   Then again, the encoding also matters.  So far, I've noticed that H.264 encodes are the best for a given resolution.

That's a 50-inch plasma.  50V2.

Depends on the encoding group.  HiDt (~7900 kbps bitrate for that sample pic) and HDManiacs (~17500 kbps for that sample pic) as shown on the pics are arguably the best encoders right now.    That Bluray master source has about ~27500 kbps bitrate.

I've got some good PDVD friends who use 42-inch 720p Plasmas and I dont hear anything negative about the quality of 1080p contents displayed on their screen.  In fact, what they told me was that for the most part, they simply couldn't tell the difference between a 720p and 1080p - and they like HiDt-level quality.  ;)

there are noticable differences with the 720p and the Bluray source but IMO this may only be noticed if its a still shot.  The color is almost identical and so is the detail.  maybe on a bigger screen (70" or larger maybe?) it will be more obvious but on a 42"...most probably not.

I also think that noticeable ang difference between a 720p and the Blu-Ray source, especially in terms of color. But if the question is whether "enough" or not for a 42 inch TV...enough, maski 50 enough.  Masayang-masaya lang na nakikita kong umiilaw yung blue indication ng HD-audiostream sa AVR and that my media player actually plays like a real Blu-Ray player...hehehe

Kapag 3D, kitang-kita ang difference sa subs. 

Sabi ng Wife ko, pinakamalaking difference daw with the Blu-Ray source is if it's a Blu-Ray concert (other than the blue indication on the AVR).  Other PDVD friends told me the same thing about concerts.   The past 3 nights, I watched the old 80s Beverly Hills 1-3 Blurays all with DTS-HDMA with lots of 80s funky songs, and ang ganda nga ng tunog - that is, ang daming nuance na tunog sa mga surround speakers - and Eddie Murphy was exceptionally hilarious during those times.  hehehe

With HEVC, 50GB (dual-layer BD) may be good enough. Per pixel quality may be comparable to single-layer BD discs at 1080P using AVC. I wish they start using Deep Color too.

Im huge believer kasi of intellectual property rights kaya i try to stay away from downloads,although i do believe that the disks cost too much kaya rin sila prone to piracy.  Kung paysite galing yung d/l then i wouldnt mind that.

First Verdict : Based on the responses, I can live with the 720p. But this just came up, HD space is so darn cheap right now, it makes no sense to skimp on the source, might as well go for 1080p, gives you the advantage of being close to the screen.

Second Verdict : Based on the last Christmas Party, di ako nalalasing sa Beer and Mountain Dew

HDD space relates to the content and has nothing to do with the HDTV.   However, being closer to the screen relates to the HDTV resolution itself and practically nothing to do with the content (in 720p or 1080p or Full BD). 

What?

diba generally 1080p consumes more HD space than its 720p counterpart ?

Yes, properly encoded 1080p should be bigger than properly encoded 720p in terms of filesize.  But what's that got to do with giving the advantage of being closer to the screen?

if you're compiling or storing movies, then file size would matter kung paubos na ang disk space mo. hehe! Ganayn din ako whenever i have a new HDD. Pero kapag nangangalahati na, pinipili ko na lang yun magagandang movies that would look best on 1080p. But kung drama lang, 720p ako.

SD Fit To Screen at 50 inch - You be the judge    ;)

The world's most hideous cheat in 720p just for reference.

For me, the difference is psychological/mental/whatever- knowing you have a 1080p will seem like your brain is convincing your eyes are actually seeing better images.

But if two sets (both 42 inches) where one is 720p and one is 1080p are used to play the same material that is 1080p and shown to ordinary joes and you tell them that the 720p one is the 1080p and vice versa, chances are they'll tell you they are seeing better images in the 720p set.

Magkatabing-magkatabing identical 42 inch 1080p sets playing 720p and 1080p encode of the same content and at the same settings -  there is a fair chance na malalaman mo which one is the 1080p.   I think.  Kaso sinong may ganitong set-up sa bahay?   ;D

So ano pa rin ang meaning ng thread title?   ;D.  WAKARANAI!   ;D

Pagtabihin mo yung 720p na 10gb file versus a 1080p with a 1.5GB file of the same movie, which would look better on a 42-inch 3 ft away?
Title: Re: Is 720P good enough for a 42 inch screen ?
Post by: Clondalkin on Jan 24, 2013 at 05:55 PM
of course yung 10GB.  Just look at the sample pics ng low bitrate Taken 2 1080p Web DL vs proper 720p encoded Taken 2 na 7.3GB.  Encode of an encode vs encode of a Bluray master source - Thats not fair.

In short, it's the file size and the bitrate that matter more than pixel resolution for a content.

But can you distinguish a 30GB bluray file from a 10GB MKV 720p file of the same title on a 42-inch 3ft away?
Title: Re: Is 720P good enough for a 42 inch screen ?
Post by: Clondalkin on Jan 24, 2013 at 11:43 PM
Basta side by side, Bluray vs 720p is easy.   You need to have a reference still because some movies really look absolutely astonishing, while there are those that look very crappy even on the original Blu-Ray.

Or, by simply looking at the subtitles...very very easy to distinguish the PGS subs of Bluray   ;D

However, meron talagang magagaling na encoders even at 720p.  HiDt for instance - Grabe sa galing!  Pero meron din magagaling na 1080p encoders.  So if there is really a side by side set-up, - all things even except for the resolution,  I certainly think there is a fair chance to distinguish between 1080p and 720p encodes.

I was watching Dredd yesterday in 720p and I feel that it was so easy to see how fake the CGI on movie were, like the blood splatter, gunfire etc. That's using 720p, what more if it's going to be 1080p on a large screen? I think sometimes having a better resolution doesn't really make you enjoy the movie more.

The porn actresses also.  They can no longer hide their age with their skin lines, creases and folds in HD.

Same with Hollywood celebs.  Very few look good on HD like Catherine Zeta Jones with her flawless skin.  Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and Britney Spears look terrible on HD close-ups.  HD shows their skin without mercy.

WARNING: scientific opinions here are based on what you need, not on what you like or what your neighbor says is a better option, and I am limiting this to normal persons, you know... yung walang magnifying glass

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

poser forgot to mention most important info to consider...the source

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

ganda ng explanation ni lisa mae:

pag dukha, 1080p kasi maliit ang sala
pag rich, 720p

dapat pala 4k ang bilhin ko kasi maralitang nagdarahop kami.

Mas mahal pang lalabas yung 4k kesa sa sala :-p

WARNING: scientific opinions here are based on what you need, not on what you like or what your neighbor says is a better option, and I am limiting this to normal persons, you know... yung walang magnifying glass

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

 ;D


Parang baliktad ata. Saan ninyo nakuha ito sir?

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

(http://i409.photobucket.com/albums/pp177/Econtractinginc/Work%20Projects/ViewingDistance.png)

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.

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.

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.

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.
