What's your Monitor Size?

[Laraul]

Well it's also that with TVs you typically sit farther away so the larger pixels aren't as noticeable. But without that "technical crap" we wouldn't have TVs and monitors and yeah.

That's the other problem with PC games on TVs. The text and such is designed to be read on a display near you, not far, like a TV.

The only real difference between a monitor and television is a TV has a built-in tuner, among other things right? I think a lot of what are you are stating is conjecture rather than actual experience.

My TV is not designed for use with a computer. It has no VGA port. I use a DVI to HDMI cable. My TV also has overscan which crops off the top, bottom, and sides of the image. Fortunately I can compensate by adjusting the display settings on the computer.

Screen real estate is not important within the game. At 2560x1440 you end up with an incredibly small interface. Since my TV has a native resolution of 1280x720 that's the resolution I run the game at (the resolution SE recommends). You then increase the "General Draw Quality" to 9 or 10 to improve overall appearance. GDQ at 9 or 10 will increase the quality of the DoF effect considerably.
