    Hi I was just looking for some feedback regarding the image quality of the 120Hz panels when playing games in non native lower resolutions.

    I am picky when it comes to image quality and performance, so I am very curious about this.
    Any one feel its too fuzzy to play at lower resolutions?

    Any feedback is appreciated.

    Thx

    I played at a little lower resolution maxed out, and it felt the same quality as the native 1080p resolution. Just smaller to look at, and generally more annoying. That's why i prefer to play at 1080p, and just lower the settings if I need to.

    I prefer higher settings usually but am concerned of how drastic the fuzziness of lower resolutions were. I wasnt sure if newer LCDs display better displaying lower non native resolutions.

    Trying to decide on a 1080p 120Hz screen or not. heh decisions decisions.
