Hi this is my very 1st post in any forum so please bear with me
I'm just getting back into playing with computers as a hobby. I just built a new rig which i am pretty proud of
Cooler Master Haf x
Sabertooth Z77 with i7 3770k (just overclocked to 4.4 at 1.19volts) and cooler master hyper 212 cooler
16Gb Gskill ripshaw ram at 1866mhz
256 Samsung SSD (os and new games go on this)
Using the 1TB hdd that was on my crap compaq desktop for file storage (its only 5400RPM but it was free)
4GB Nvidia geforce gtx670 superclocked edition
The problem is I went a little over budget so as for now I am using a 720p 32" tv as a monitor.
When in Crysis 2 if i switch the settings to 1920x1080 my picture looks better. This is not a placebo as i have spent a lot of time switching back and forth. At first i noticed that my viewable area was smaller, so i turned the overscan on my tv off and it was great. It seems to me that the lighting is better not so much the resolution of objects(but i am a noob)
So my question is why does this look better?
Also come Christmas is when i will be getting a better monitor so any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm sure this question might seem dumb to some but i am trying to learn.
