It's not bollocks.
The displays may be able to accept different resolutions, but it can't display them. It up or downsizes it to fit to the screen. That is why when you watch SD television on your HD TV, it doesn't display as a tiny box in the centre.

What you might be seeing is the TV's interpretation of the graphics card output. It isn't being truly displayed in the way a monitor would.

Well mine can
I do exactly what I said so I can read text more easily on my 42" TV change the resolution, text becomes bigger spread over more pixels and can be read more easily.

No, it can't. Not if it's a television.
It is simply displaying the information the graphics card is sending to it. The graphics card is altering to whatever resolution you're asking for and the television is scaling that back to its one native resolution.

This is a pointless argument as TV and monitor resolutions aren't even the same thing. Point is, you're wrong.

It can if you reroute the signal through a dedicated graphics card, hook that up to the TV through the HDMI input then take the controller and repeatadly ram it up your cock end until you shit out an episode of Eldorado

The only one making any sense in this tedious subthread is Nakers.

Point is my TV has the ability to have more than one resolution
You claimed TV's can only display one. I am telling you mine can display more than one.

And you are wrong.
You are wrong because you don't know what you're looking at.

You're just upset because I can make text easier to read on my TV and you can't
