What Is Resolution And Why Does It Matter?

2014 has been the year of 4K resolution, as well as the infamous 900/792p in console games. But what actually is resolution and how does it affect the image quality?

[@Generic3]

Have you played Pac man championship edition DX+? It's free to play this weekend and there's only 21 Hours left, It's loads of fun and you should definitely give it a go if you haven't already, It's really addictive too with lots of different game modes

[@kinderen1vdhooft351]

nice man thx

[@GamingXpaul2K10]

Got my AOC Q2770PQU [2560x1440] monitor on Tuesday and it's awesome:D

[@coreoporeo2394]

I use 900p, I'm not too fussed on resolution so this will do for me, also i getting a little performance boost because of it. GTX 770 run's like a boss

[@ryanneish2880]

i have to say i just built my first pc gaming rig less than a month ago i can tell a big difference between the lower resolutions and 1080p... take darksiders 1 and 2 for instance, at the lower resolutions this game looked like crap but at 1080p on my pc it looks like a game released not that long ago everything looks silky smooth and dam rite pretty.... same with the 30fps jump up to 60 fps i see a massive difference in gameplay and i dont care what any1 has to say about that... i will never go back to shit consoles with there overpriced hardware and games for poorer experiences with my gaming! Good upload dude

[@shootingmen]

Has to be the placebo effect.

[@ryanneish2880]

shootingmen meaning? forgive me but i dont understand the word.lol

[@overlordgamingLTD]

ryan neish it pretty much means if you spend more money on something and it runs the exact same your mind will think its better So what shootingmen was saying is that PC is the same as console which is wrong

[@aleity]

I know this was like a year or two ago but I might soon buy a new computer, could you tell me like the parts you used for it? It would be a big help! :)

[@ryanneish2880]

at that time it was the i7 4790k and the gtx 780ti phantom... 8gb ram 1 tb hdd 750w psu... out of the build i still use the i7 4790k but the rest is upgraded

[@CaptScapegoat]

I have a 1080p display and tbh i wish I didnt. I hate obsessing over resolution, graphics and FPS

[@debourmom]

I play on 768p with the settings cranked up and it doesn't look that bad. Then on console you play on 720p and it looks like shiti guess antialiasing makes a difference.

[@ashleebaker4522]

i have a 1080p 3d monitor and a 900p monitor and i game on my 900p monitor so i can get a better frame rate, it still looks awesome at 900p on ultra so it makes no diferance at all to me

[@venterra4265]

where did you get a 900p monitor?

[@ashleebaker4522]

I dont think its native 900p i got it a few years ago and when I plugged it in the recommended resolution was 1366x900p

[@ashleebaker4522]

It just is I was given a 1080p monitor off my brother and it has 3d function I never use the 3d but its good to know its there

[@ashleebaker4522]

Maby you guy can help me what would you suggest I get the msi r9 280 or the msi gtx 760

[@xGetCrazy13x]

I would get the 280

[@ilynpayne7491]

MY 25 inch TV looked way better than 32 inch TV so sad

[@MorningWoodbury]

I'm not taking any sides here on PC versus Console, but you titled the video to talk about whether or not resolution matters and all you ended up doing was talk for 6 minutes about how PS4 an X1 can't run all games at 1080p. Work on properly titling your videos please.

[@mogjones2010]

Take this advice however you like but in my opinion you need to use less hand movement and be more down to earth, I also suggest that you relax and don't open a video the same way each time

[@familydude-lq7ec]

I don't get you, he seems perfectly fine and calm... Hand movement is just a general way of expressing oneself. Introductions are, well... Introductons.

[@shootingmen]

ignore mogjones, he's probably just an awkward kid irl.

[@mogjones2010]

take my advise the wrong way then...

[@familydude-lq7ec]

mogjones2010 Who can take you seriously when you don't even know the difference between advice and advise?

[@mogjones2010]

Ode to Animosity who can take you seriously when you moaning like a little bitch? it was constructive criticism don't shit yourself about it, I wasn't speaking to you anyway.

[@parmanandkumar8334]

Hey I am a Indian.... I know English but even I could not comprehend you..... Please slow down your speed

Parmanand Kumar He’s not even talking fast wtf
