Why doesn IPTV look exactly like regular TV?
There are technical differences between regular analog video displayed on a television set and digitized video displayed on a computer monitor. The digitization process that converts the video to a digital signal can introduce fuzziness into the picture, especially around sharp edges or in areas of fast motion. This situation can be exacerbated by the fact that the dots that make up the screen (pixels) on computer monitors are rectangular, while the pixels on an analog television set are round. This effect is more pronounced on LCD (flat panel) displays than on CRT (cathode ray tube), or television, displays. Another important reason is that standard TV screens have a resolution of approximately 460×360 pixels, whereas most computer monitors have a resolution of 1024×768 pixels or higher. As you enlarge the player window to fill your monitor, the image is stretched past its intended resolution, which amplifies “fuzziness.
