This has more to do with screen size and pixel density. Even though your laptop monitor or standard desktop monitor's resolution is less than 1080p the pixel density is probably higher than your 1080p TV because of the smaller screen size of monitors and that is why they appear sharp when you sit closer. Imagine a bunch of pixels crammed into a tiny screen and then you begin stretching it outward, you're going to start to notice the pixels get bigger and bigger. Just like when you zoom in on a photo. Since most people buy 1080p TVs 32 inches or bigger the recommended viewing distance is further back than it is for computer monitors so that the pixels aren't as noticeable. If you sit really close to your TV you can see the pixels because they are larger and the pixel density has decreased with the increase in screen size. 1080p works well on computer monitors because they are generally smaller and the pixel density is higher due to the smaller screen. Another good example of this is the Ipad and other smaller devices. Their screen resolution is lower than 1080p but they are so small that the pixels are crammed into there making the image appear very sharp and crisp. That is why when you look at larger monitors in the 27-30 inch range the resolution is much higher so that the image can still appear sharp when sitting close. I hope that makes sense.</p></blockquote><p></p>
