my cousin swears to play it on a 20" $100 flat screen tube tv.

 

I would agree.

 

he has a 37" lcd hdtv and bought the 20" just for halo. he's up to like a level 43 or so.. i don't know, i believe him at this point.

 

I went from a 19" to the 37" LCD and I have leveled down since the transition.

 

i went from 2 8'x12' walls to a 27" flat panel tube tv

 

1080p confirmed on my set. Well at least it accepts the signal.

 

How does dropping down in size help?

 

okay, clarification.

The Olevia has a native resolution of 1366 by 768. It can accept a 1080p signal and fit it onto the resolution, but not be a true 1080p display.

Either way, that's some pretty trick stuff to do considering that this isn't supposed to be a part of the budget buster deal.

 

But is it better than 720p? I is confused...

 

The 720p is a natural resolution. It'll fit onto the TV with no tricks or compression.

I just have no idea though.
