Anyone play P.o.E. on a 30" monitor? How does it look?
|
I just bought a Dell 3014 monitor off a slickdeals link. It's got the ridiculously high 2560x1600 resolution. I'm curious what other's have experienced who have tried to play POE on a 30" monitor's native resolution? I currently play it on my 1080P 32" TV, and it looks and plays great, but have had my eye on a true 30" monitor for years. At the current refurb price of $650ish for a current generation 30" after a 30% off coupon I jumped. I'm hoping the additional resolution will still be playable on my current hardware, and that the games texture and AI hold up at the high resolution

bump for feedback.

You will start to notice some defects in textures that you would not see at a lower res.

The reason I ask is that I saw a thread where it said the resoution POE textures were created with were 2560x1440, instead of the 30" 2560x1600.

It looks fine to me, the downside of a big screen though is of course that your health globe is farther from your vision.

Bigger.

The issue is not will POE work on a big screen. TV's all use 1080p - so it doesn't matter how "big" the screen is - whether it is 1080p on a 17" laptop screen or 1080p on a projector - it's still driving 1920x1080 pixels at 1080p - so it won't introduce any different technical challenge to the game engine.
The pixel resolution was my question here. 2560x1600 is significantly higher resolution than 1080p. If the games textures aren't made to that resolution then it'll look glitchy. Well I confirmed last night that the game looks fine in 2560x1600 resolution on my Dell 3014 30" LCD monitor. In playing for about an hour I noticed no wierd graphics anomolies. The game looks better than ever on the 3014. |
