How good is a plasma with 1024 pixels ive only heard of 1080 or 720

Question

i want it to play a ps3 on any good?

Answer 1

"Because the 1024X1024 monitor seems closer in native pixel resolution to the 1080I signal than an 853X480 monitor it stands to reason that it would show the 1080i signal at a higher resolution - closer to the 1024 than the 853. However, the 1024X1024 monitor uses an interlace scan to see every other line while the 853X480 monitor uses progressive scanning. Using a comparison at a 60hz refresh rate, what you will actually see vertically is 512 lines on the 1024X1024 monitor compared with 480 vertical lines on the 853X480 monitor. Not much difference."

Answer 2

Honestly, I've never heard of one with 1024 pixels, but it's going to be good because that is a ton of pixels.  A 720 isn't that great, although it's a step up from a normal tube TV, but I have a 1080 high def plasma for my PS3 and it's hooked up with an HDMI cable and I can't tell you how f'n amazing it is!

Good luck dude!

Answer 3

A lot of Plasma MONITORS come in a resolution of 1024 x 768.  According to C-Net - This is the most common resolution for 37- and 42-inch plasma monitors.

This is commonly referred to as a 720p unit. It is still considered A high definition monitor but is NOT FULL HD.  

A Full HDTV has a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Most experts including the ones at C-Net say you cannot see the difference between a 720 unit and a 1080 one in anything under 50 inches. The pixels are just too close together.
