Cool, I'll take a look at those settings, running a virus scan at the moment as PC is behaving slightly erratically and something doesn't feel right :/

Davey_Pitch · 22-03-2007, 21:41

Worked a treat, thanks Daz

Also found that going into Console Settings->Screen Settings and changing to 480p instead of 1080i makes the image that little bit sharper. Probably dosn't make a huge amount of difference, but if you're planning on watching several different programs it wouldn't hurt

Daz · 22-03-2007, 22:57

I'm on the VGA cable anyway. The one you gave me

Davey_Pitch · 22-03-2007, 23:37

Ah sweet, forgot your were on that

Haly · 22-03-2007, 23:42

1080i?
Some people dream of that

Daz · 23-03-2007, 10:28

I found 720p nicer than 1080i, but then I have a smaller screen so it doesn't make much difference to me.

I heard this morning people who queued overnight for a PS3 in London got a HDTV worth £2k for free. Bastards

At the London launch everyone who bought a PS3 also received a free 46-inch HD television and a taxi home.

Bastards!
Sony said the taxi was so that no one got mugged on the way home

Fair enough really.

I tell ya, if I'd have known that was gonna happen, I'd have gone down. Then probably sold the PS3

LOL

You shouldn't run 1080i if your screen is a 720p screen, people think that it will make things better its a common misconception that more is better but actually you're much better off pixel matching or as close as you can get

My TV is 1080i capable, and visual tests confirm the image is sharper and better at 1080i

Edit: I don't see what was funny though :/
