Underwhelmed by the Ps3 HD graphics.

It has nothing to do with 1080p, 720p is fine for high resolutions. If you have low rez textures you can have 100080p and it will look horrible, the resolution is bottlenecked.

I agree that PS3's HD graphics are a little underwhelming, I think it's because that most games on the PS3 don't support 1080p. Even the game I'm looking forward to the most, Killzone 2, is only in 720p.ElectronicMagic

[QUOTE="kidcool189"][QUOTE="GARRYTH"]

that is because your monitor is small so sdtv and hd really is no differance. try a 52" hd screen and hook it up in sdtv then hook it up in hd and see if you say the same thing.

the ps 3 looks like crap in sdtv setting on a hd 52" tv.

Actually that is somewhat true. The bigger your TV the more important HD resolutions become.

TC speaks the truth games look pretty bad on the ps3 tut tut

You need to have HDMI cables to actually get 720+

If you don't have HDMI cables, then there's no point in hooking up a PS3 or Xbox to an HDTV.

TenP

Um... haven't you heard of component cables.

[QUOTE="Dante2710"]i couldnt get the ps3 to run at 720p with the cables it came with......its weirdW1NGMAN-

That's because the PS3 comes with composite cables, unless you were just being sarcastic....

sorry your monitor is bad?

I have a feeling this might be the weakest attempt at flamebait ever.

Did you change the settings on your console for 1080i/p and 720p? wooooode

Today i went through the hassle of disconnecting my Ps3 from my SDTV and connect to my 24 inch monitor (the one i use for my PC) through HDMI. The reason is Wipeout HD (finally!) coming. So, I played with a few games to see them again, or for fist time, "In their true glory."

The results... worst than i expected. Now I believe that many of them look better on my SDTV. At least the 480i signal hides most of the low res textures, aliasing, underwhelming lighting and bad framerate-screen tearing... This only makes me mad that the PSN store is so hard to navigate in 480i, the console doesn't win much from teh HD!.

Either your monitor has a low resolution or you're PS3 isn't outputting in 720P or 1080p. Both games and movies look a million times better in HD my friend.

Its the same thing with the 360 and the PS3 in all fairness, HD makes some games look much better, but it also makes graphical flaws stand out alot more.Snugenz

In fairness, the 360 has much better textures and therefore benefits much more from HDTV.

So your monitor supports 1920x1080 resolution? And we're talking about a computer monitor correct? My brand new 22" LG native resolution is 1680x1050, so possibly you maybe coming across a issue of scaling that is making things not quite look right. I'm not sure but if your not seeing a difference then something is amiss, cause there should definitly be a difference.

It could be your monitor.

Many TVs will say they are HD ready or full HD. They are, but it might not be a good quality.

You see when I got a HD tv, I got a 26" HD ready sony bravia, now with that money I could have shopped around and gotten a 32" tv by a lesser known company. But I bet you everything that the TV I got would have a better contrast ratio, better colours, better sound ect.

Theres no point buying a big HD 1080p HD if all the pixles that make it are rubbish. HD just means there are a certain amount of pixles, it does not mean they will be good ones.

Not true you can do 1080p over component on 360.

Well, since you are a PC gamer too you should already know that hooking up a 360/PS3 to your monitor is basicaly downgrading your graphics to PC games from 2-3 yrs ago.

same, the difference from my SDTV to my 32" HDTV when playing bioshock was a real eye opener, now regualr TV just don't cut if for me anymore.

I have heard this many times, and I am not calling you a liar, but can you point me to ANY 1080P sets that don't accept 1080P over component? Any at all? I am of the mind that this is more myth than fact. I believe some of the early 1080P sets might not have accepted 1080P over component, but most if not all current sets will.

I think TC is just looking for a reason to sell his Ps3, because HD is very easily better than SD...

If you don't like your Ps3, just sell it bud. Not going to hurt anyone's fellings.

My PS3 looks great on a HDTV, but for some reason it looks HORRIBLE on my 22' monitor (Grand Theft Jaggy was even jaggier on this monitor, imagine that). Mochyc

Could have to do with the distance away from the screens.

I was using component for 360 and Ps3 until I bought the HDMI cables.

[QUOTE="Ibacai"]Looks better in SD? I guess that's your opinion....I'm going to chuckle and disagree but doesn't matter much.Teufelhuhn

I'll do the same, even on a 19inch HDTV the difference is noticeable

and on a 50inch......well its like having your eyes blow torched

PS3 looks worse in HD than it does in SD?

Are you sure you're doing it right?

For a long while, I had been playing my Xbox 360 on a 19" SDTV and wondering if the jump to HD was really as big as people say. Then, I finally got some VGA cables, a gender changer (for the VGA cable, get your minds out of the gutter) and started playing on my 20" HD monitor.

The difference was huge. Sure, some graphical flaws like aliasing (especially in Forza 2) were more prominent but as a whole, games looked far better than they ever did on my SDTV. Now, after playing this way for many months, it's hard to go back to playing games in SD.

[QUOTE="Ninten007"]You probably need to adjust your PS3 settings on Video Output and change everything to whatever your monitor can run in HD. loco145

Try a 37 inch Bravia 1080 HD and come back.

It will only looks worse with a bigger screen. His 24inch can display games at an higher resolution then ur 1080p HD, and he says it sux. If u increase the screensize the faults will only be easier to spot (bad textures, bad aa etc.)

Actually that is somewhat true. The bigger your TV the more important HD resolutions become.

but also the bigger the screen gets the further you should sit back, making it harder to notice the extra resolution

ok i guess......i own a 42 inch 1080i sony and my ps3 games look amazing

same goes for my 360

sounds like you need a good tv or something
