thlnk3r: 1080p (1920x1080) is as high as you can go with a TV on HDMI 1.2. This is the same exact cable (with a different pinout) as a single-link DVI cable. The technology tops out at WUXGA, or 1920x1200. HDMI 1.3 so far can go as high as 1440p (2560x1440). In the PC side of the spectrum, that is, dual-link DVI, you are good to WQXGA, or 2560x1600. I believe WSXGA is also dual-link DVI, that is, 2560x2048. I know of no higher resolutions at present.

Blitz, sorry buddy but I'm not sure why you're informing me of all of this

Are we talking about Nate's question? Yeah as far as I know nothing out there is larger then 1080p...

Holy echo chamber, Batman!

Kinda reminds me of what thlnk3r wrote just before this post, more or less.

Good luck

I guess that's what happens when you don't leave the house enough.

The reason I typed that all is that there is in fact a 1440p TV. Samsung if I remember right. I think they also make a 1080p 120 Hz, which is presently used soley by the NFL for replays.

Your point being..? You didn't mention this tidbit of information in your post just before this one.

Moreover, I fail to see the relevance to S939 matters whatsoever.

Sorry for the bluntness, but (again, to be blunt) it's fine and dandy that you know all these things; however, sometimes it's just not good form to one-up people with examples that are clearly exceptions to what is true for the vast majority of the market segment, just to show what you know.

Especially when it has nothing to do with our Club's topic or main focus of interest.

Blitz, no worries man. Is the 1440p even retail though? I don't think I've seen one yet. There are 1080p 120Hz screens pretty much every where you go. I was just at Costco the other day and they had quite a few on display. Pretty nice screens! But yeah about your previous post, you should of just said that instead of going into all that detail...some confusion there.

blitz6804 · 06-16-09

Yeah Thlnk3r, it is strange. No one sells a 1440p TV yet, but people sell scalers, switchers, cables, processors, et cetera that support it. I guess the demand just is not there yet? I know DirecTV recently started broadcasting some channels in 1080p. We do not use them though, because to turn on 1080p, you have to turn off the auto scaler, which makes all channels scale to 1080i. While I do like how my PC looks on that TV (73" 1080p is nice) it does not look substantially better than my monitor due to the increased distance.

We don't have a TV yet, but that was something I was going to leave out of this thread

.

Man I feel like I got jipped by a out of business retailer when I got my 40" samsung 1080P. I say this because it only has a 60 Hertz rating at 1920 x 1080 resolution. Does the 120 Hertz mean that the TV will be better for games and faster moving objects? I should have done more research before pulling the trigger on the TV.

EDIT:

I have to admit, it sure if fun Playing COD4 on the big Screen

I have done so at your suggestion:

For larger than 1500 VA, you would have to go to our Smart-UPS model line.

Now we know. I reiterate my plea for people to suggest other UPS manufacturers other than APC, because even with Trade-UPS, I am looking at around $800 for a new UPS, which is a bit excessive in my opinion.

N2Gaming: A 1080p 60 is perfectly fine. A 120 Hz TV is a fuzz overkill, can your graphics card drive 120 FPS? Can your eyeball distinguish between 120 and 60 FPS? Is it worth the price premium?
