NGP vs DS vs 3DS vs PSP Resolution Comparison

Revolt-Tech shows a diagram that outlines the resolutions of each of these major platforms relative to eachother.

Correction: PSP: 480 x 272

Here's a better comparison;

Nintendo wins under bias picture position conditions.

That's only a matter of attention to the "3D" feature.

[Omega Archetype]

False. The NGP gets the entire thing! The 3DS may have the back (all of it!) but the NGP has that and then some haha!

brilliant :P

3DS for me then, all i wanted was the T*** and A**.

[klado]

Fail, What with the crayon painted piece of mess?

I hope the final spec of the NGP is in HD resolution. 720p should be the standard.

@mushroomwigi

I know it won't be greatly noticeable, but it would benefit the developers specially doing ports on the PS3 to PSP2 without losing a lot of graphical resolution when most of the games on the PS3 are set to 720p.

[mushroomwig]

Implying that you can see the difference between 544p and 720p on a screen that size.

The human eye is easily capable of resolving over 300 pixels per inch. The iPhone 4's retina display accomplishes this, but you pay for it. (Or it's subsidized.)

In motion, resolution starts to matter a little less but then refresh rate comes into question. A low refresh rate will kill clarity, no matter how many pixels are there.

Ideally, we want big, sharp and clear. And of course we want it to be cheap. There lies the ultimate compromise. Just how much are people willing to pay for perfect quality?

3DS one is a kinda a lie. Its really got 3 screens, not two. 2 400x240 overlay screens, and one smaller. There is no 800x240 screen, really -- its a single device with two display buffer outputs that overlap, not a single large one.

It might appear unified to an API, but then... so do multiple monitors in some DirectX setups. Its not a 800x240 screen, though.

[koehler83]

I don't know how anyone disagreed with that.

[Masterchef2007]

I think that the NGPs rez is quite good for a handheld. I dont really think it needs 720P

[Samus HD]

800x240 what does this mean ??
better than ps2 or the same or worse or what?.

[NiKK_419]

it's actually 400x240 to each eye when it's in 3d, it's not 800x240, which is misleading, and yes it still has a smaller resolution than original psp

[Samus HD]

thnx a lot - but I'm still going to buy it

and now begins the handheld war round 2 *sigh*
