Comment Sharpness at higher resolutions (Score 1) 203
No-one even bothered to address the fact that Matrox has gone to great lengths to offer quantitative data as to why their card is much sharper at higher resolutions than the notoriously blurry GeForce and Radion cards. People on newsgroups have complained about said blurriness ad nauseum, but mostly from subjective viewing. I use 2,048 x 1,536 resolution on a Viewsonic 817 monitor, at home. Most users, even gamers, spend a lot of time staring at a 2d desktop, sometimes at resolutions in excess of 1,280 x 1,024 where sharpness matters, especially for long term viewing. I have always and most likely will always use Matrox cards, because when it comes to sharpness at higher resolutions, they cannot be beat.
