I'm strongly considering getting a Dell XPS 27, which has a 2560x1440 screen. I'm wondering, though, how this would work with games or movies played in lower resolutions. If I view a movie or play a game in 1920x1080, will it appear letterboxed/pillarboxed, or scaled? Would the scaling create noticeable distortion? Are these silly questions? 😕

Most games these days are console ports that are designed for 1280x720 or less. At worst you'll notice bilinear filtered pixels on UI elements intended for those inferior things, or a bit of lack in vertex precision.

Your hardware (CPU, hard drive, and video card) also has to be up to displaying stuff at 2560x1440 at an adequate frame rate.
Thanks guys, I think I will get it... kind of curious how much smaller a centered 1920x1080 image will appear though.

why not 1440(p/i) ? or "Double 720p" ?
