[QUOTE="Alex Atkin UK, post: 146047, member: 1290"] It was confusing with the Trine 2 developer talking about how the PS4 was able to run the game "internally" at 1080p 120fps. There are some workarounds to get better than 720p though. If you have a passive TV like mine it only outputs 1920x540 per eye anyway, so you can always ignore using the native 3D support of HDMI and instead go for interlaced (which is how the TV screen itself does it, it splits odd lines to on eye and even to the other) or split the screen horizontally showing left on the top, right on the bottom, which again the TV will process into interlaced. Unfortunately for me on games they usually use native 3D support (720p) or split the screen vertically. That sucks for passive 3D as then you are only effectively seeing 960x540 per eye, even worse than just using 720p. VR will most likely work like Oculus Rift does, it will just have a single 1080p screen and render two portholes in the right place for the lenses in the headset to convert back into a proper VR display. Sadly that means a lot of resolution lost to blank space on the screen, but its the nature of trying to make a VR headset affordable by using existing small OLED/LCD screen technology. I suspect some games it won't be worth the compromise in resolution, but others it definitely will. To be able to walk around in something like GTA/Watch Dogs in first-person view would be awesome. [UPDATE] Actually, looking at the manual for my TV: [img]http://csdprojects.co.uk/images/47LW550T3D.png[/img] I'm starting to wonder if I am wrong, as that clearly says 1080p 60Hz which I THOUGHT they meant half but as they specifically mention half on that table but NOT for that bit it would suggest full 1080p. Why is it so hard to get a concrete answer on what the 1.4 specification can do? Google brings up all sorts of crap, none of it clear. [/QUOTE]
