I'm beginning to look into getting a widescreen HDTV, probably plasma.
I recently received a catalog from Dell that had what looked like a very nice HD ready 42 inch set.
Please excuse my ignorance, but what is exactly meant by the pixels being 1024x768? I have a 19 inch monitor set at 1024x768 and it has wonderful resolution, but I can't imagine this being expanded onto a 42 inch screen. Is the Dell system using this same resolution on a screen that is more than four times the surface area of my 19 inch?
Wouldn't that end up being pretty grainy and jaggy looking with really large pixels?
If this is a stupid question, please don't slam me, I just want to become more educated on the subject.
Thanks
