Thinking of getting a high quality 1280x720p display for my Laptop

I've been using a 1920x1200 display for a long time on my p7805u. It's a great display, and I can play almost all my games up to the native resolution.

Ever since I hooked up to my external TV, I've been playing almost always in 720p, and I really like the quality with maxed AA and AF and I get much better fps (almost always 60) which I'm starting to find essential in gaming.

So now I'm thinking of getting a very high quality 720p display to replace my current one on my laptop. Could you be so kind as to post a few links to some good products.

I'm looking for high quality, but at a decent price.

 

Alright first i can not believe you can max out every game with a 9800M gts @1920x1200 no matter how overclocked you are, theres no way when my 6990 even takes a hit from this kind of res. Next i beileve its a very good idea you will make you laptop last much longer in the gaming world compared to a 1200p screen.Im sorry i can only find 900p screens for that model heres the link anyways
Gateway P-7805U FX replacement Laptop LCD Screen from $109.99 Brand-new screens (never used).

 

high quality =\= 720p....

 

Why not just lower the games resolution to 720p? Saves time and money.

BTW, the reason I clicked on this thread :

 

Re-read his post.

He can play almost all his games at native res, reading between the lines likely at lower settings without AA/AF, but even then not all of them are.

What he is saying is that by moving down to 1280x720 he can turn on higher details and AA/AF as its at a lower res (less than half the pixels of his native) which is very likely true.

 

Once again this is just for info, it looks like the lowest res for this model is the 1400x900 screen, but that's not what I'm aiming for.

And I can't find any 720p 17inchers for other laptops either.

Oh well was just a thought aniway, I'll keep using my hdtv for my 720p gaming.

And for those who don't believe I can run games @ 1920x1200 smoothly and at high (if not max) settings, go check out my many videos on youtube.

I used to feel 30-40 fps was smooth enough, but now after gaming at almost a constant 45-60 fps (Deus Ex:HR, Crysis 2, Dead island) I feel like anything lower than that is a bit choppy.

 

A constant 45-60 on crysis? Really now in 1200p on ultra with his res pack?
This would be good lol
and in your youtube video show your settings
all i know it could be 800x600

Lets just be real here for a sec. I have a 6990 overclocked to a dekstop 6850 okay? And i still take a hit from this kind of stuff(crysis 2 dx11 ultra his res pack) so im sorry but there is no way in hell its possible, thats all i gotta say about that.

 

Just turn down the resolution in-game if you're not able to play at the settings you want. With AA enabled, any distortion will be minimized.

 

45-60 in 720p not 1200p. It says so in the video (description of the first crysis 2 video I posted)

 

Just set game resolution to 1280x720, crank up AA to 4x or higher and you're done.

 

Hm, we may be on to something....

 

It probably hasn't been mentioned, but why don't you just try turning down the resolution?

 

Because it looks like complete crap when you do that.

I thought it was obvious to any PC gamer on this forum that playing at 720p on a 1200p native screen looks horrible.

The amount of blur created is unbearable to anyone looking for quality in graphics.

Oh well it's fine, I just tested Dead Island on my native display @ 1920x1200 all maxed settings with AAx4, AFx16 and 2048 rez shadows and I get an average of 35 fps on Fraps. That's still very playable even if not as buttery smooth as 45-60.

 

Have you tried a resolution in between 720p and 1080p? 900p?

 

I dunno. I usually find 720p looks good on a 1080p display. Run 4xAA and FPS are usually better than at 1080p no AA and looks nearly the same. Depends on the game.
