So you can tell between 1080p and 720p from 20 feet? Suuuuurrrrrrrrrrrre.

Have you ever walked in a store that sells tvs? (they will always have different tvs with different resolutions on the wall) or hell have you even owned a tv in your life?

This proves you're full of it:

"the benefits of 1080p vs. 720p start to become apparent when closer than 9.8 feet and become full apparent at 6.5 feet."

Yet you claim to be able to tell the difference from twice that distance, lol. You ain't Superman, dude.

WHY THE **** WOULD YOU PLAY/WATCH ANYTHING 20 feet away, your post reeks of stupidity and trolling.

Do yourself a favor go to a store that sells TVs, look at a 720p tv and a 1080p tv (they will even have them labeled), also yes I know which ones are 1080p at 20 feet away and which ones aren't cause not only do I pass by the same tvs at work 5 fraking days a week and at least a dozen times a day, I also unloaded said tvs for 5 months off a truck.

If you still need convincing, play any game on your PC that's not your native resolution, have fun seeing the difference and if you somehow still can't tell the difference then well that sucks to be you.

Oh, I'm trolling? You're the douchebag that came in and started slinging around wild claims about being able to spot a pixel from 3 miles away. When did I say I play from 20 feet away? Hmm, that's right .. I never did. What I did say is that I can spot the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps from 20 feet away but that I have to be closer than that to tell between 720p and 1080p, an absolutely true statement. You followed that up with something you just made up, that you can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from the same distance. The guy in your gif is probably knee-deep in your bullshit, good thing we can't see that part ... oh, but you probably can with those X-ray eyes of yours. :)

I ignored the rest of your "reply" because you've already proven that you're A) less than honest and B) less than bright.

I think you gotta take into account what these consoles are capable of. No way they're gonna be able to do 1080p/30 with everything. They're too damned weak, compromises will have to be made with some titles. Yeah, in a perfect world they'd be rendering all games in 1080p/60 but that ain't the consoles we've got, not even close.

Resolution all the way, the difference between 30fps and 60fps is meh (unless you wanna talk about 20fps and 60fps), but holy crap the difference between 720p and 1080p is up there.

I don't agree with this at all. The difference between 30 fps and 60 fps is striking, attention grabbing. I spot it immediately from 20 feet away. Gotta be closer and look more more carefully to notice the difference between 1080p and 720p.

Talk all you want. Nothing will convince me you can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p from 20 feet away in approximately 2 seconds like it is easily possible to do with the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps.

Not sure. I think it probably depends on what type of game it is.

This is a tough one. There were lots of great games in the 16 bit era. Guess I'll say Super Metroid.

Gonna take this moment to admit to something bizarre: I have never in my life completed a Mario game (Unless you count Donkey Kong, lol). I've tried em and just have never understood what all the fuss is about. I couldn't get in to em even as a kid. But Metroid, Castlevania, Mega Man, Shinobi (Yep, I snuck a Sega character in there), etc? That stuff was/is gaming bliss.

Seems to me that they announced this earlier than they needed to.

I don't feel that 60 fps is necessary for everything. I agree that with some games the quality of the graphics is part of the experience and it also depends on the type of game it is. Competitive multiplayer games like fighting, driving, and shooters are where 60 fps is most important. All I ask from games that target 30 fps is that it be a steady 30 fps. Screw this shit where a game is 30 fps one minute, then it dips to 20, then it goes up to 26, then drops to 22, etc. Make it 30 fps the whole time! If you need a dynamic resolution scaler to achieve it then so be it.
