Brink in 1080p? : Othor Games

Thank you! @DeathByJerm

Happy to help. Also, when you do decide on one, I'd be pretty interested in hearing what model it is. And if it isn't one of the three I listed, I could possibly give you some decent feedback on it. Just send a private message.

Exactly what type and brand and such is your TV if you don't mind my asking?

And @DeathByJerm, my TV is 46"

Perfect for a bedroom.

Okay,

And @Joe+, thanks for showing me that. In the FUTURE (get it? FUTURE SHOP!), I might get a TV for my bedroom.

I recommend it! Though if your just using it for gaming, a really good monitor would be 10x better, but... I wanted to watch TV as well, so..

Exactly. I made sure to have 1080p just incase it makes a difference. Additionally, it has a game mode that creates less lag and motion blur for fast paced gameplay. Works flawlessley.

I hope I'm just misunderstanding your posts, but if you're under the impression that that TV puts out 1080p, you were lied to by someone. Toshiba's C100U series's highest resolution is 720p. I'm not saying that's a bad thing (especially considering the TV's size) nor am I trying to talk bad about your purchase, I just hope someone didn't sell you on a feature that the TV doesn't include.

Actually, that was my mistake; I haven't been lied to. I confused myself with when I was buying a new TV for my living room a couple months ago.. Excuse my mental incapacity.

Are you SURE you're not just SAYING it was your mistake while frantically calling a lawyer to SUE the person who LIED to you?!

Ah, okay. I was going to ask where you bought it so I'd know to never do business with that place.

I'm getting a new television in place of my old 10 year old monster one, and I'm wondering if Brink will take advantage of HDTV resolution, or stick with 720p.

On PC, yes. On consoles, no.

720p is still considered HD if you didn't know.

720p = HD
1080p = FullHD

Also, fun facts:

On PS3:

Call of Duty: Black Ops = 960x544 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: World at War = 1024x600 (2x AA)

On XBox360:

Call of Duty: Black Ops = 1040x608 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: World at War = 1024x600 (2x AA)

My PC's screen's resolution is 1920x1080... and that's not even the maximum... ^_^

Just got Samsung HDTV! Sorry, @DeathByJerm, but at Best Buy they didn't have the models you showed me. I was gonna get it off the internet, but my dad wanted to go to the store :hehe: Anyway the TV is great except the normal channels are all in Standard Definition because of the cable box we have, so we have to get an HD one. It's funny, seeing Standard Def quality blown up on a big TV- it looks horrible

At least the PS3 is in 1080p because the cable box doesn't affect that!

When playing BluRay-Video, yes.

But in games it's not even 720p. And most PS3 games look terrible on a 52" screen, because blowing up the resolution to that size without AA is a crime.

For under $1,100, my choice for a current-gen TV (current-gen just started about a month ago, so 2010 models are still available for dirt cheap as stores try to get rid of them) would be Panasonic's http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Viera-S30-Series-Plasma-HDTV/model.TC-P46S30_11002_7000000000000005702 unless you can find a store willing to sell the http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Viera-ST30-Series-Plasma-Full-HD-3D-HDTV/model.TC-P46ST30_11002_7000000000000005702 for $1,100. Panasonic makes the best plasma TV's (an undisputed fact ever since they got hold of Pioneer's tech, the previous top brand) with extremely vibrant colors, a massive contrast ratio thanks to the deep black levels their TV's offer, and (in my experience) excellent customer service. As a result, I've become a bit of a Panasonic f-a-n-b-o-y, especially because of the experience I've had with my own http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/VIERA-G25-Series-Plasma-1080p-HDTVs/model.TC-P42G25_11002_7000000000000005702.

Ive got a 50" panasonic viera GT 3D plasma and its by far the best tv i've ever had. Panasonic's new line of plasmas has the infinite black which is great for video games, even their more basic models look boss. Can get a good 42" for like $700-800

720p = HD
1080p = FullHD

I'm aware, I just felt it was unnecessary to make that distinction in this thread. After all, I made my response under the impression the OP thought 720p was SD, instead of 480.

But you are correct.

Should've shopped around! And yeah, some TV's are better than others when it comes to handling SD resolution - some look decent, while others it actually looks worse than it would on a CRT TV. We've actually had a few customers pay over $3000 for a top of the line TV just bring it back because they were running the signal through a coaxial cable, which is made all the more hilarious by the fact they are repeatedly warned that the TV won't look how the displays in the store do without running at least component.

Oh, and what model did you end up getting? And how much was it?

If it's the GT25, then you've got the model a step above mine - very similar picture quality and features, just of course I don't have 3D. They're both amazing TV's, and like you, mine is by far the best I've had as well. And as you said, the deep black level of the panel is great for games, but the 600 Hz from it being a plasma is definitely a plus as well.
