1440 x 990 and Blu Ray - Blu-ray Forum

randyrandall89 · 02-24-2008, 01:53 PM

Hiya,

Just a question.. my TV is 1440 x 990, would Blu Ray players scale to my TV's native resolution to avoid the blurriness of TV upscaling? Or would I need a TV with a different resolution?

What kind of TV do you have, or is it a Monitor were talking about? What other resolutions does it accept?

It's a Samsung TV Monitor, dont have the model number to hand at the moment, but I'm pretty sure the native res is 1440 x 990. Either way it isn't 720 or 1080, hence my asking..

Maybe my understanding isn't up to scratch (I'm pretty new to all this) but I assumned because it isnt a 720 or 1080 resolution the TV would have to rescale the picture to it's native res..

1440x900 is a common native resolution for laptop/notebook computer LCD widescreens.

Well, if your TV ACCEPTS 1080i/p, the Samsung should probably be able to downscale properly to the 1440 x 990.

If not, then I guess it should upscale it from 720p. So, find out if it accepts the signal and see where to go from there.

How would I find that out? Wouldn't the scaling of the TV cause artifacts and lag?

Many 19" HDTVs are 1440 x 900. My Samsung is.
