So here's the deal, I currently do the majority of my console gaming on this:
That's a Panasonic Viera TX-26LXD60 from 2006 (got it when the Wii came out ). It's been a great TV, and is particularly good for gaming as the response time is just 8ms. The only drawback (other than being a bit on the small side) is the fact that it's HD Ready, so limited to 720p.
Fast forward to today, and I'm now thinking I should upgrade to a screen that's not only bigger, but also full HD.
But... having done a bit of googling, it seems that not all is as it seems when it comes to console gaming and 1080p.
Now I'm no expert on any of this (hence the thread ), so please correct me if I'm wrong. However, from what I can gather, the only Wii U games to feature a native 1080p resolution are Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Wind Waker HD (with Super Smash Bros. to join them next month).
Just 3 games?! It appears to be equally rare on the PS3, I went through a list of games I own for that, none of them are over 720p!
So here's my question, and the main reason for this thread...
Is the upscaling to 1080p on PS3/Wii U worth getting a new TV for?
I'm guessing it ain't, but would like to hear from anyone that has experience with both settings, see what they think.
Keep in mind that I do plan to purchase a PS4 soonish (whenever games like Tomorrow Children and RIME start to come out) and it looks like true 1080p is much more common on that.
Here's a TV I've been eyeing:
Sony KDL42W705B
It's supposedly a pretty decent set to game on, response time is 14ms (almost double that of my current TV, but I'm assuming the difference will be negligible ).
Anyway, looking forward to hearing what N-E has to say on this matter.
: peace:
