A question about graphics solely for Uncharted

Hey guys... i've been reading reviews of Uncharted lately and most of them designates that the graphics has screen tearings.

What does this mean though?

What happens when the screen tears? Like when you move around the cameraon an LCD for the particular vista and you occasionally see linespoping up now and then orwhat?

This is a quotation from the IGN review"Graphically, Uncharted's beautiful as you tear down trees with turrets, watch Nate's clothes saturate with lagoon water and the sun filter through the leaves, but there is a lot of texture pop-in on the jungle floor and treasures while aliasing on the walls and screen tearing are par for the course. It shouldn't take you out of the experience, but it is noticeable."

I think it's being read wrong. Try reading it this way:

"...aliasing on the walls and screen tearing are par for the course."

I don't notice much of either in any other games therefore I think they mean it's good.

I have no idea what reviewers mean by a "screen tear", but that shouldn't stop you from buying it just because of some texture pop-ins because I saw a lot of those in Gears of War and Bioshock at a friend's house and yet people loved them.

I have Uncharted and I play it on a SD television. Yet I've never encountered a screen tear, so don't worry about it.

Gears was all about the pop-in, it used to annoy me like crazy when I owned it.

Yes, there is screen tearing, but it's very minor. You'll see little lines go across your tv every now and then. No big deal. There is texture pop-in, which seems to be very popular this generation....BioShockOwnz

Oh heck I know what it is now. And can you even see that from 10 feet away? I knew it was when the screen "what you see in one" splits some. I had no clue that it was that minor of a thing thow. God what a joke to make such a big deal on that, when we have been seeing that since the 360 came out.

Yeah, it's no big deal here. The screen tearing in Splinter Cell Double Agent was terrible, though.

Actually I found a picture, something among the lines of this ...
