Title: Swapping out 23" monitor for 32" LCD
Post by: Max on January 07, 2016, 07:47:20 AM: I assume I'll need to change my current monitor resolution of 1920-1080 to match the TV's 1366-768 in AH vid settings?

Current FOV is 106. Change or leave it be?

Thanks

Not if the native resolution of the TV is only 1366x768.

Post by: MADe on January 11, 2016, 05:11:23 PM: I used a LCD with 1360x768 native res. Worked great. What you need to check on is the response time, not refresh rate.
The LCD I used above had an 8ms response time.

The LED I use now is around 19ms response time.??????

hmmm several have mentioned this. I noticed no loss of text clarity, I used the lcd for years, my ma uses it now, it is 40". the text is fine.......
either way the modern stuff is just too goooood. you'd have to use a hammer at install to mess it up. he he
luck

I was referring to text within the game. Text outside of the game has been no problem.

Ah, ok.

As for AH text clarity I've noticed that some font sizes are crisper than others. Right click the title bar of the text buffer and Select Font.

Post by: alskahawk on January 16, 2016, 02:47:58 PM: I did bump up the texture setting (within the game) to 4xxx something and it seemed to improve, but not completely.
