Query on 1366*768 display

[ionstriker]

Hey guys so I wanted to know how a 720p Blu ray video would look on a 1366*768 HD LED screen. Would it look the same as on a FHD display?Or would there be any downscaling resulting in a slightly blurry video?

A 720p signal (1280x720) on a 1366x768 screen will be slightly upscaled.

The quality of your equipment determines the end result (in this case the upsampler in your screen).

Well I'm buying a Dell Inspiron 5559 laptop with the above said resolution. So I just wanted to know if watching a 720p video or a 1080p one would be of any issues

There shouldn't be any issues with playing either.

1080p will probably give you slightly better picture quality but will put a bigger load on your CPU/GPU, and it will take up a lot more space on your hard drive.

I'd go with 720p files.

Alright thanks a lot!
And is the difference between a HD and FHD screen really big? As in for laptops?

It is half the resolution (1366*768 = 1,049,088 pixels vs. 1920*1080 = 2,073,600) but I don't think you'll really notice much difference. I had a laptop with the same resolution and thought it looked just fine.

Or a quarter of the resolution, depending on how you think of it

Well this might be a bit too late as my laptop is already on its way but would I have really benefited from getting one with a FHD display? I mean would that difference be really worth it? And I'm not using the laptop for gaming so

On a 15" screen it's not going to make a great deal of difference.
