[QUOTE="trpnmonkey41, post: 400059, member: 279"] Not really 1920 x 1200 is the native res of the 24" iMac 1920 × 1080 is 1080p (PS3). A difference of only 120 lines of vertical resolution. Even 720p (Xbox360) scaled to the 24" monitor (just download a 720p trailer from apple.com and play it full screen) looks very good. The wii I wouldn't both with since it can only do 480p. If you wanted to play it in a window it would be fine, but full screen it wouldn't look very good. Of course this is all a moot point as there is no way of getting HD directly into the iMac (Unless you could somehow broadcast your game OTA and pick it up using an ATSC tuner, but lag would quite a problem there) [/QUOTE]
