But I have a relatively large TV (Sony Wega WideScreen 32") - and it looks pretty sharp - how can that be when it's such poor resolution?

If you use a large monitor and set the resolution to as near to TV res as possible it looks poor.

I suppose you sit closer to a monitor than a TV though...

</changes Powerbook's resolution and moves it far away...>

Ahhh... I see.

Thanks.
