jaggies in HD???

I just got an HD TV. It's not huge or anything but it's a nice panasonic. I've been playing my 360 on my 24 inch lcd computer monitor for years through vga and then hdmi to the dvi jack in the back. Never had any issues with jaggies. I put it on my hdtv and thought it would look better but it doesn't. noticeable antialising problems and jaggies on certain borders and objects. I have it currently hooked through hdmi.

Make sure its set for HD in the console settings. When plugging it in, it defaults to 480i.

yeah i have it hooked through hdmi so it only allows hd. I've tried both 720 and 1080i. does it have something to do with the scaler in my tv?

Yeah dude, I've got kind of the same problem with my 360 and my TV. There's usually an accepted amount of jaggieswhen you're playing consoles though, no antialiasing :(

IDK but I use HDMI, and I dont notice any severe jaggies. I mean sure there are some, but every 3D game has some no matter what resolution you play at.

I noticed this especially in GTA.

Only suggestion I have is make sure your not too close to the TV. Sometimes the game just has those jagged lines in it.

Is every game giving you this problem?judog1

yeah pretty much. i'm wondering if it has something to do with the way the tv is scaling. Maybe if i use the component jacks instead of hdmi for example? unfortunately the tv doesnt have vga or dvi inputs that i know of. It seems like it should be pretty straight forward and its not like the tv has a bunch of settings i can mess with.

some games just look better than others.. companies selling H.D.T.V's are promising perfection.. nothing is perfect..

just pay extra for an L.C.D..The picture quallity out does a plasma, hence the expence.

Beanoooo

GTA IV has absolutely no AA support, even on PC (considering it was a console port)

The larger the screen, the more noticeable the jaggies will be. Keep in mind that 1080i is just a different name for 1440x1080 resolution.

Betterrefresh rate, better colors, better contrast on plasma? The only thing LCDs are better at are they weigh less and take up less power.

Panasonic is the new leader in plasma tech since pioneer stopped producing them. (kuro I miss you! best gaming and movie tv ever!) I do not know what panasonic you purchased. I currently game on a samsung 42 lcd in the living room and a tcp50g10 in my game room. The g10 and v10 pannys are in the top 5 best rated tvs currently so you really can't go wrong with them. If you have one of those models then it is just the normal jaggies you are seeing. You may want to check if you have your sharpness set to high. Pannys 0 point if 50 when it comes to sharpness.

PC monitors>HDTVs IMO.

Thats why I cant for the life of me see how anyone can say Forza 3 or GTA 4 looks good! Whats good in looking at a car with jaggies all over it?

No matter what the new effects or engine they use, but if the picture is just riddled with jaggies, then its not very pretty.

Thats like taking a nice looking cake, and then spray it with ketchup!

Id take less details anyday if they added 16x anti aliasing :)

Here is the TV I use for my gaming addiction, Sony KD34XBR970

It has the best blacks, and no lag.

Frankeyser...

I had a 42" Samsung plasma, but got absolutely fed up with having to scroll the T.V every time after gaming, (just to get rid of burn-in).. After one month the burn-in was so bad (unremovable) that I took it back to the shop and exchanged it for a series 7 40" L.C.D (even though it was £200. more).. The picture quallity is certainly an improvement.
