How good can you make 1366x768 look?

Yes, you guessed it!

I'm considering ditching the 2405 due to excessive gfx requirements and I'm talking about moving to a 26 or 32" lcd tv.

Obviously max res is 1366x768 and I'm wondering how much I'm going to miss 1920x1200 gaming? I don't game massively its just when I do I like it to look awesome.

Can you use a top end card to whack up all the quality on the lower res to look a bit better? (I understand I'll lose some textures etc but will it really matter?) Will the increased size really highlight the loss of res?

My 2 7800gtxs would have been enough to BUY this samsung 32" I'm looking at and as a by product I'll end up with a TV in the dining room and enough left over to buy an xbox 360 for real high def gaming.

I just don't want to do it and then end up disappointed..
 
actually to be fair its mainly desktop work and you've got me thinking now.. do I want forum browsing/msn/web browsing to be big enough to make me go blind...

hmm..

Maybe a rethink, I suppose I could always turn my 2405 into a tv.. that would be the other way around it.
 
no it wouldn;t be for a couple of weeks so I can certainly wait. Post as much info and pics as you can, if not in this thread then at least post in this thread to say you've done it!

i use a sammy 26" hd lcd tv panel, all i can say is its awesome, i went from a dual 17" setup to this, and love it.

desktop is fine, i dont have any issues with it, gaming is awesome!!

one thing which will take a while getting used to is the loss of dekstop real estate space that hi res affords you.

Once you get used to it it's just peachy.

But this is from a gamer, and web browser, i dont sit and do a lot of work so to speak infront of my home machine.

could you do me a favour and take a couple of snaps (not screenshots, actual photos) of your desktop on its own and with say an msn window open etc?

I think 26" might be a nice compromise actually and I'd end up in profit after selling the dell :eek:
