Graphics per screen size

[Mike Eazy]

Do you think PS3 graphics will look better on a 24 inch television, rather than a 15 inch, because im planning on getting a larger tv for the ps3.

Is this a serious question?

I think you should find one of those little 7" LCD displays for you car. Everyone knows the smaller the screen, the better the graphics.

Graphics quality per screen size is something of a misnomer. It all depends on viewing distance. As long as the screen occupies the same angle of vision screen size makes no odds. Sat at my computer my screen occupies maybe 20 degree of my field of view (horizontally). Stick my nose close and it's occupying a much larger area, and look more pixelated as each pixel is presented to a larger area of the retina in the eye. So a small screen up close looks worse than a big screen far away.

Knowing how far you'll sit from your TV you can pick one of suitable size, and then it's down to image quality more than screen size. Though many people might find a smaller screen of higher quality because they sit closer to it and the average Joe is ever so slightly short (near) sighted.

Yeah, screen size has to be balanced with viewing distance to keep the right proportion, yet the quality of the TV/monitor is also a factor for large screens because the picture starts to become too overblown.

I see. I must have not been thinking about the psp, how small the screen size is even though its lcd.

Will PS3 have games 16:9 or 4:3 by standard?

All HDTV content is 16:9, i definately wouldn't expect any PS3 (or X360) game to be "native" 4:3.

Is it confirmed that HDTV resolutions will be the baseline for Ps3 though? Sony has said things before and then not stuck through with them. Many people choose full screen DVDs over wide screen, those with old tvs may want full screen games too.

Every game or demo they have shown is in 16:9 and WS. Kutaragi has stated the baseline for PS3 is 1080p. [Not saying the games will all be @ 1080p though]
