Screen resolutions?

goin3d · 2007-06-30, 04:36

Up to this point i've been running my htpc at 1920x1080 on a 65 inch display. Everything is great when watching HD content but lately i've been into a few different TV series that are normal tv captures are taken from dvds i have. The captures are about as good of quality as they can be given the source but are a little blocky on that size display. That got me to thinking....what resolution do folks run your htpc at?

have you tried running ffdshow to upscale the content to your screen resolution?

I have mine at 800x600 stretched out to 16:9. It's the only thing my plasma will handle properly. Everything looks pretty damned good, DVB-T is better than a couple of set top boxes i've tried.

I don't have any HD content, and don't bargain on any for at least another couple of years.

I'd run at the native resolution of the TV. If your TV supports 1920x1080 then use that. But in your codec configuration, enable post processing to reduce the video artifacts.

Someone wrote a guide for this on his website. Worth a read.
