Which CS4 flavor for SD at 1024x768?

[johnsonx42]

I'm running SVideo out to a 61" SD rear-projection set, at 1024x768. Which version of CS4 would be best, the SD or HD flavor?

The HD version will have higher quality graphics and some screens may take better advantage of the additional width.

From the graphics guy:

CS-SD is designed for 4:3 - standard definition displays. The graphics are all standard definition 4:3 square (720x540). The basic layout was reworked to this square resolution.

CS-HD is designed for 16:9 - high definition displays. The graphics will all be high definition resolution (1920x1080), with the basic layout reworked to fit the wide screen resolution.

Currently the SD version looks all sh1tty and squished on a wide screen display, the HD layout should look much better with the added benefit of silky smooth high def graphics

Just to add to the above,

Between output format and resolution, I think that the output format is the more important of the two.

So if you have a 4:3 display, no matter what resolution it's running at, you should try the SD version first. And if you've got a widesceen display then you should probably try the HD version.

I gather from the responses that I'm in sort of an in-between land (which is why I asked the question), but it would appear that the SD version will more likely fit my environment.

Thanks guys, looking forward to trying the beta soon.

Is the HD version out yet? The Wiki says "COMMING Soon"

We are close-ish. Have to do some housekeeping with resources so the SD and HD content don't overwrite each other, ect.
