PS2 WIDESCREEN TV
It looks REALLY good.but I wanted the higher resolutions that I assumed you'd get for the $2000 that the tv cost.
PS2 WIDESCREEN 480P
The Aquos doesn't do 720 or just does 480p (or whatever the numbers are).
PS2 WIDESCREEN MANUALS
He KNEW that I was going to be using it for gaming, I freakin' told him what I wanted.after I got it home, and after much reading of manuals and trying this and that, the cold reality hit me. I'd like to beat the salesguy who sold me the Aquos over the head with it. They look a bazillion times better on a normal tube tv. I swear that if someone saw the lousy quality of the Dreamcast running on this thing, they'd NEVER buy a Dreamcast.and I wouldn't blame them. (We had my friend's PS2 hooked up with S-vid and it was nice as well). with the exception of my Xbox 360, which looks astounding, obviously because of the component cables. I have a new Sharp Aquos and EVERYTHING looks like shit. You will also need somebody to build you a little Euro to Jap Scart adapter, and then just get Euro rgb Scart cables for all your systems and your Golden.Īs for the Aspect Ratio, unfortunately nothing you can do about that, unless you want to play your games with big grey or black bars on the sides, which looks even worse than the streched and distorted picture. (don't have the model # of the top of my head, it's like 9A28 or something like that).
It's called a XRGB2+, and if you don't have a VGA input on that HDTV you will also need that Audio Authority adapter to go along with the XRGB2+, so that it will work on Component. There is definitely something that can improve that. Ok, now, before we are done, I'm just talking about the issue with widescreen TV's and 4:3 games, but there is good news for your other dilema.
PS2 WIDESCREEN PS3
The 360, PS3 and Wii are all going to look much, much, much better on a 16:9 tv, but the old school stuff is going to look dramatically better on a 4:3 TV. But if you want things absolutely perfect, then you need to play 4:3 games on a 4:3 display and "true" widescreen games on a 16:9 display.
But one nice thing is, that as time goes by, you will notice the distortion less and less. Certain games won't look to bad stretched out, other games look pretty bad that way. So anytime you play those on a Widescreen TV, it's not going to be totally ideal. Old School games like Genesis and Super Nintendo and Playstation 1 and Saturn and all that, all of those games are all designed with a 4:3 aspect ratio. I mainly remember that with the Playstation 2.
However, on all those systems, make sure that you go into the settings and check for a 16:9 mode because some of the games require you to select it in the options. The vast majority of PS2 games have a 4:3 OAR as well. Even a ton of Xbox 1 games have a 4:3 OAR. Games prior to Xbox were pretty much designed with 4:3 TV's in mind. There isn't anything that can fix the OAR situation.
My question is, is there any way to fix this problem on HDTV's? such as new cables or settings to clear things up a bit? what about older systems like saturn, genesis, etc? To put it to the real test I put in Ico on ps2, and I know this game in and out, and I could tell right away that the games graphics looked worse than ever, blurry and pixelated.īy no means are any of the games unplayable, but they looks os damn bad compared to how they used to look on my regular old TV, not to mention none of them support widescreen so they are all stretched out. A few months later I figured I would see what my PS2 games looked like, first game I tried was Grandia 3 (just had bought it) and I noticed it didnt look to clear or crisp, so I figured well maybe its just the game. When I first got my HDTV (Widescreen) I was so excited because it was for my 360, which just makes the games look amazing.
