1366 x 768 native vs non native quality?

[nouroz]

Hi,
I recently got a laptop with 1080p screen. It has a descent gpu but I often have to use lower res. such as 768p for that smooth 60fps experience in games like gta v etc. my question is, is it true that 768p on a native laptop will look more sharp and better than 768p on my laptop which is 1080p native? Why is that? is the difference real big to be noticed? I read everywhere that it will lower the quality but will it be a big deal? that is my real concern.

This is not true, and I will tell you why, and I will try to get rid of any confusion surrounding this, as it's a myth floating around.


Technically, yes, playing at 768p on a 768p is going to give you the sharpest image possible, because the pixels mapping is 1:1. However, because 768p displays aren't manufactured anymore, the new standard is actually 1080p. This means that the 1080p display is always going to give you the best picture quality, despite not being mapped 1:1, playing at 768p on 1080p screen. The specs of the 1080p monitors are higher, which is why in the end it'll look better than a native 768p screen.


All the best!

I still see 768p televisions sold for cheap new. You can find these at places like Best Buy.
