I have a 20 inch TV which is HD Ready, and I have connected my PS3 to it with an HDMI cable. Will I enjoy GTA V's graphics in full, or will I have to buy a bigger TV?

 

 

Your setup is perfectly fine. You have a HDMI cable and you have a HDTV so yes you will enjoy GTA V at "full graphics". Sure, you could get a bigger TV, but only people that have no clue about technology believe the consoles is putting out native 1080P graphics anyway.

While PC guys talk about who has a better graphic card, console guys talk about who has a better TV biggrin.gif

Parachuting into the woods then immediately getting mauled by a bear- priceless.

I have a 42" LCD in my room. It's the perfect size. I almost got a 46", but that would probably have been too big for the space. I only sit about 5-6 feet from the TV. So bigger is not always better.

 

Here's a pic I took from my recliner:

Hey, thanks for all the replies guys. Well, judging from what you have stated, I'm going to enjoy it properly, since I sit only a meter away from my TV :-P

Dammit people, I have a 21" CRT TV. The edges of games go off the sides...

It depends on the resolution, and how far away from the screen you are sitting.

 

For example, I have a 50" 1080p TV, and a 24" 1080p monitor. I sit 8 feet away from my TV, and about 2 feet away from my monitor. I prefer playing games on my monitor.

My set up is ready to go, just waiting on the game. I even bought a new ps3 slim because my old ps3 was the original fat 60 gig and it would always start to overheat when playing AAA games. The fan sounded like a lawn mower. LOL. There's no way it could handle the processing power needed for GTA V. Oh and I play on a 52 inch Samsung.

Don't listen to the morons in this thread.

 

You're going to get PS3's full potential, since it does not get past 720p, a HDReady display is perfect, it's even better because it's small, the smaller the TV, the more condensed the pixels are, therefore you'll get a better image quality.

 

To play on something bigger with higher resolution PC is the way to go.

The biggest you want to go for 1080p is around 24", I hate how stores say massive 60" screens are 'full 1080p HD', when in reality you would have to sit on the other side of your house to not see the mass stretching, blurring, and pixelation. Consoles don't even play in full HD anyway, so it won't matter. 20" is fine. I play games on my PC, and 22" looks perfect in 1080p.

I have a 24 inch and it is amazing.

 

To start, the response rates are better it seems. On our 40 something inch, games always lag a split second to what I do. My 24 inch monitor is instant. Also the games look better because any pixelation or aliasing will be closer together, making it seem less.

I have a 32' inch Samsung which only supports HD TV, not gaming or DVD's. Plus it's got burn in all over and a nice big black line down the centre. Sounds f*cked as well. You'll be fine.

That depends on your personal preference, and possibly how far away from the screen you're sitting.

 

If you're happy with the current size of the screen, then why would you upgrade?

There are two TV's in my house. One is 42 and other is 22....mine is 22 so i guess i'll be playing on my 22.

 

OT : Well i think you have everything you need to play GTA V peacefully.
