Why does my 360 on VGA connection look better than PS3 on HDMI?

Today as i was bored i thought id try FIFA 09 demo on my 360 to see if it looked any better than the full PS3 version which i have.

I thought these games where identical graphically according to reviews? The graphics are way better on the 360.

I have a HD projector with a 86" screen so image quality is important to me.

I booted them up with identical teams and constantly flicked bewteen them.

The 360 version seems to have 2-4 x AA and better lighting compared to the jagfest of the PS3 version.

I think if you have a 37" or less maybe you cant notice.

Also has anyone noticed VGA looks better than component and HDMI on the 360? Its the same on my 32" HDTV aswel.

Im gutted because now i have seen the 360 version of fifa im going to have to buy it now, cant go back to jaggy fifa on Ps3.

Its a multi-plat that's why.

And it might be poor calibration.

PS3 has poor AA compared to 360. They usually try to cover jaggies with some kind of fog.Parasomniac

Yeah, I cant explain it but ive noticed that with VGA things looks a lot better and less jaggy when compared to HDMI.-DrRobotnik-

Check the video setting of each source ( contrast, brightness...etc) and make them equal, if you already did this then I don't have other solution for you.

Like... Gears... ohh wait.

I was always under the impression that AA was a bit out of consoles depth in general.

1.) It could be that your projector's VGA chipset is superior to its HDMI chipset. Typically (on HDTVs, anyway), it is the other way around. 2.) It could be that you have your black level/color range on your PS3 set to standard. Try the "expanded" option. I can't remember what the category is actually called, but look for it under video options.Fire-of-Njozi

Just thought it was also strange that 360 VGA connection was better than its own hdmi connection. Has been better on 2 hdtvs and 1 hd projector.

:s
