So I guess consoles made HD gaming popular...

I totally forgot about the other thread and now its closed : (, but yea. I think HD monitors are out but its all about the 65+ inch HDTV's.

I guess PC's did do HD 10 years ago, but it was hard to tell on the crappy monitors at the time. Oh well, now PC'rs have to hook up to HDTV's, which belong to the consoles, in order to compete now.

How are you a casual gamer? You go to Gamespot and even worse, you post in the forums.

It's not hard to understand this fact, sure PC's have been doin HD for years but it just wasn't noticable as monitors are just to small to make a difference : /, but now that can long hook up to HDTV's, PC's may have a chance to catch up : )wok7

OK. You're obviously not understanding any of this, asshat. My current monitor is a 19' LCD. Most HDTVs are LCD. This monitor displays at 1280 x 1024 in progressive scan. HD. My $200 (AUD) monitor can output the same resolution as a $2500 (AUD) HDTV. No lose of quality, it's the same type of screen. If anything, high resolutions run better on a PC monitor because you haven't got the large pixel sizes you find on a TV.

RIGHT now. my PC is running in a higher resolution than the PS3 is capable of. 1600*1200.

my brother has a rather large LCD moniter and has the resolution at 2XXX*1600 

Technically consoles did make HD gaming popular, by default really. HD is called "HD" because it's a huge leap up from "SD" or standard definition. PC monitors and games have "gradually" escalated in res so the difference wasn't nearly as drastic and sudden as the TV going from SD to HD. Sure PC monitors have "technically" been doing the equivalent of "HD" resolutions for a while now but were they ever called HD? No, they were merely called "high res." Yes I know it's the same thing but the term is directly linked to the popularity. I guess the TC does have a point with the topic title even though TC is naive about the subject.Spartan070

Monitors have better picture quality bud. They've had HD resolutions for 10 years. They can have MUCH higher resolutions than any HDTV. Wow, you've gotta be kidding me........
