What Screen Resolutions Do You Use?
I've been doing some reading up on HDTV and HD gaming via consoles recently and found that:
A: The PS3 and Xbox 360 have very few titles that are actually 1080p (True HD. 1920*1080)
B: Most console games run in strangely low resolutions. (The slightly dated Halo 3 runs at 1138x640) And as a result, get scaled up resulting in slightly grainy textures.
I guess the majority of the details are made up from clever texture use but it still feels like we're being cheated out of a proper HD gaming experience. At least until the next generation of consoles can sustain a smooth framerate at high resolutions.
I run my desktop and 99% of games at 1440*900 (widescreen) because that's what my crappy old monitor is limited to.
(The remaining 1% is usually older titles like Area 51 which refuses to go above 1024*768.)
So, anyone know of any true HD titles for any console?
And what resolution do you use for your desktop and for gaming?

5760x2160.
I like these calm moments before the storm. They remind me of Beethoven.

1920 x 1080, unless the game is quite demanding when I'll drop it down.
A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
