kind of a nub question, but I have Guitar Hero 2 for xbox360 and it goes through component cables(RGB) but i play all fighting games on ps3 through HDMI. Will tests i perform on my xbox still hold true for my ps3 even though they have different hd cables?
dunno has this been answered yet, but how can i play ps1/ps2 games on my hdtv without it looking like shit?
i want to get a hd box pro to eliminate lag but if i cant get the graphics to look better than shit quality, i think i’ll just buy a standard crt tv.
Honestly, if you’re going to play PS1 or PS2 games (or anything in SD content, frankly) and you don’t want them to look like crap on an HD set then you need to either get a hardware upmixer, or a television that does a better job of hardware upmixing. Chances are your set is doing a garbage job. Also, if you’re not using the component cables for your PS2, then you should be. It’s not going to make a world of difference, but it’s a cheap add-on and there’s really no excuse for it - especially if you have a HD set.
The best HD sets for doing upmixing are CRT HD’s, but you’ll have a HELL of a time finding one anymore - companies don’t make them because there isn’t much demand for a 150 lb. television that’s a foot-and-a-half thick. Damn shame, really. Even though LCD sets are brighter, they generally do not display color depth and accuracy as well as a CRT set. I have a LG CRT HD set, and it’s awesome (albeit heavy as a truck).
What is the consensus on HD Fury: Gamer Edition vs HD Fury 2? Keep in mind lag reduction is a higher priority than picture quality.
I was a bit startled by the price so I don’t want to grab one randomly.
I’m just trying to play marvel on my lcd bravia. I can still return it any recommendations?
And correcnt me if i’m wrong, SFIV and most PS3 games run 720p? So this monitor wouldn’t be ideal or at least as ideal as the 22" monitor?
Wow, I was going to test vga with my samsung 46" 65f with xbox 360, but it looks sooooooo bad and washed out, even after adjusting its limited settings, and it even supports 1080p though vga and still looks horrid, i guess ill stick to 720p through hdmi
anybody know if the new bravia sync feature on ps3 slim improves response time ?
I’m pretty sure that’s only for remote control functions. I doubt it has any effect on response time.
Did you set your xbox console settings to “expanded”? That should with the help your washed out look.
Hi,
I read your views about the HDTV.I like the HDTV technology and I was eagerly waited for this.
But the price standards and promotion works are so dull that it never get proper start.As you describe the problems,I hope the time change and we will get some good news.
I’ve tried searching the thread, and I’m pretty sure my question hasn’t been answered, and it’s not in the 1st post either.
I want to hook up a XBOX 360 to a computer monitor. Not a TV, but a regular computer monitor.
Do I need the official Microsoft VGA Cable?
Is it possible there will be lag like an HDTV?
Will the monitor display in HD?
My main priority is control and not graphics. I would rather have quick response time than HD graphics, although both would be nice. I would have no problems going with SDTV if I have to. If anyone has hooked up their 360 to a computer monitor, your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Sup blitz!!
you can either use the Microsoft VGA cable or get a hdfury to connect to VGA.
what kind of monitor will you be using? LCD or CRT?
you wont get lag with a CRT but with LCD you will need to get models that are proven lagless. Models brands like the evo Asus, BenQ, LG and most TN panel have low input lag.

Much much cheaper. All consoles prices on their official cables are highway robbery.
Blitz,
I have an LG monitor and use the MS VGA cables, due to the fact that my Samsung has terrible imput lag. VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE, almost no lag.
yeah it tried that, still didnt look as close to as good as hdmi
What’s up Spoon? Haven’t played you in ages, ha. But then I’m not online these days.
I`m probably gonna get LCD first. I don’t watch TV so I wanna use a PC monitor for everything. Thanks for the response, and thanks to Zanken and Uchiha Madara too.
