PC to TV via USB2

[Just Michellee ...]

Stuff from the seventies looked like that?

I thought it was boxier, with more mettle.

I thought it looked like an original "Pong" game.

Gotcha, how big would they be OK for.

1024x768 would look okay on a big telly but it'd be a square picture with black borders down the sides cause it's not widescreen. (tho' it is technically hi-def)

They'd look fine on a standard definition tellybox, like, but those resolutions would make stuff look blocky on a big 1080p (1920x1080) tellybox.

those resolutions would look shite on a good telly, like.

Tolerable for watching once, like, on newer screens. Non-huge LCD-screens and the like.

The older type of TV, wot with tubes, is pretty forgiving. It's like it does its own anti-aliasing or something else. On something based on that sort of tech even 320 times woteva can look good, though.

Back-projection TVs come somewhere in between, in my experience.

It's debatable whether those constitute good tellies, though.

Thanks for that, good clear explanation and it's to your credit.

 

[Xx Evelyne xX]

Obviously there'd still be the black borders on anything wide-screen, though. Or really fat-looking actors.

My last was at Peabody but it goes for Snee as well.

My last was at Peabody but it goes for Snee as well.

I wasn't really explaining nuthin, though. Just commenting and giving examples on what might let it look good.

 

[Luckystar25]

It was clear and it's to your credit tho'.

Those resolutions are fine unless it's an HD Telly.

Those resolutions are fine unless it's an HD Telly.

What if it's a wee HD TV.

I've got a 19 incher in my study room.
