Are you kidding? You ASSUME the most people dont care so it shouldn't be covered by the professional press when doing their reviews? I guess car magazines shouldn't cover horsepower ratings in cars either because MOST people would never rev their engines that high?
Very good point.
If I'm interested in HDTV ,I will go for a decent 1080p TV and read or hear something like:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimum_HDTV_viewing_distance
If my living room is huge I would buy a projector.
My living room isn't huge, I'm sitting 2,5m away from a 42Plasma and I buy this month a 50' ,my wife
doesn't allow a bigger one.
I need some seconds to recognize the difference between 720p and 1080p in
movies, but movies are not games!
There are two files about 2GByte big, 60fps, which compare BF4 on XBox1 (720p) and PS4 (900p) ,I looked them on my TV and the Problem is the Aliasing the bad AA, which is much more visible in motion than on pics. The 720p X1 version was much uglier.
720p to 1080p is a even bigger step ,we talk about games not pictures/movies, I wear big glasses ,I'm not young, but I see after 2sec if a
game is in 720p or in 1080p.
And I mean in game ,not scripted 'movie scenes' of the game.
If someone doesn't see the difference in a movie is something total different.
Please stop argument that your TV is too small or a 720p model ,that's nonsense.
If someone want to sit 5m away from his 32 TV won't /is not physically able to see difference between PAL/NTSC to 1080p okay his own thing,but that is nonsense to argument against the difference is watchable at right viewing distance at a good big TV.
If someone buy a cheap 200/$ 50' LCD which panel is showing in motion just 500 lines , that's is not the problem of someone who has a expensive TV and see a difference.
Sry for my English
