I'd like to buy a small television to display my PS3. Can you get a 1080 television in a 13-19 inch?

1080p is useless on TV's less than 50", let alone 19".
480" is good enough at that size.

Yeah, who needs anything with that much resolution in such a relatively small size? I would say... everyone in the first world using a computer???

:clears throat:

Get a PC monitor!

480"? You own a theatre or something?

I can notice big differences between a 32" 720p and a 24" 1080p (xbox 360 game)... maybe just the quality between the LCDs...

Back to OP... I think you can find 22" LCD monitors that can do 1080p with HDMI. Dell ones are good and my buddy got one 24" for $180 from one of those Dell day sales.

I have a BenQ E2200HD that I use for my PS3, it's native 1080 and uses HDMI :D

The newer version, the E2220HD, has 2 HDMI inputs and a slightly improved backlight. I can say, however, that when a 1080p game goes in (Final Fantasy XIII), it looks incredible. I'm talking jaw droppingly good.

Now if only my 30 inch monitor had HDMI inputs :\

I got a benQ 2420HD for my PS3 and its sick!

If you already got a 5.1 speaker system, you should just get an lcd monitor

Do you know how small things would be on that screen? How do you figure you'd fit over 1000 lines of resolution in a space smaller than 13 inches? You wouldn't even fit all the required pixes on the screen.

It's clearly the difference in quality between LCDs. The human eye cannot begin to see differences in 1080p vs. 720p until you start getting to 46"+ Even then, the brand quality has more influence on the display than the resolution.

I would, but my screen has a native resolution of 2560x1600 that doesn't downconvert :\ all resolution conversion has to be on the computer end :\

Do you really need to whip out a chart from 2006? 1080p is the norm these days for LCDs. Even 32" ones have 1080p now. Just go with what you are happy with.

just because the chart is from 2006 doesn't mean that the human eye has changed..


that said, when people say that you won't see a difference under 46", they don't take into account that people will likely sit closer to small screens (<27"), like computer displays. and as such, higher res would actually be noticeable.

when you're sitting at living room distance (10ft), yeah, it won't be noticeable.

Basically I'm looking to display a PS3 on a small television or monitor, with good resolution. I'll be sitting about three feet from the screen so I don't need anything too big.

I use this monitor: http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/PID-MX26910%28ME%29.aspx

Native 1080P, built in audio (I run a pair of long cable bud earphones from the headphone jack), two HDMI ports, and it does an awesome job with PS3 stuff :D

Keep in mind you'll have to be using HDMI to display on that monitor, so unless you already have an HDMI cable, then:

My point is, the chart will probably help consumers decide whether or not to get a 1080p vs a 720p back in 2006. But there's no really any point in this comparison anymore since they are pretty much all 1080p these days.
