[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1254119, member: 24160"] Take into account - you have a 27" monitor with a resolution equivalent to 1440p vs a 50" HDTV with only 1080p. Add to that, the fact you are sitting what - 3' from the screen - vs 12-15' away from that 50" screen - enlarging a 720p or 480p video up to 1440p from 3' away will not by any stretch appear as sharp as what you see at 1080p from 15'. Plus, I would guess that most HDTVs, Blu-Ray & DVD players today probably have much better upscalers than you'll find in computer video cards in general. Try connecting your iMac to that 50" screen and viewing anything that is text only, and you'll find the opposite. Your iMac is going to blow it out of the water from any distance. [/QUOTE]
