I'm playing San Andreas in RGB. Are you?

[TRM]

Just you, the stars, Super Ghouls and Ghosts on the SNES in RGB and a campfire!

That's funny.

Maybe those screenshot comparisons are just uber crappy but it really doesnt look THAT much better to me.

According to the title of that page, they're also comparing COMPOSITE video with RGB. Any comparisons between S-Video and RGB? (I'm guessing there would be a lot less noticable difference, with somewhat poorer color performance). All modern consoles (and some classic consoles and computers) can pump out S-Video, and all but the cheapest modern TVs have the connectors for it.

If the screen comparisons look a bit crap it's because taking a good photo of a TV screen is nearly impossible. When you change the signal, the brightness changes, alters the photoing? conditions and you're screwed. But until I get a RGB capture card, this the best I can do.

Sorry, no RF-Composite-S-Video-RGB comparisons as my only S-video capable monitor was made sometime B.C.. But when I get the capture card, I'll put up a better (I hope) page about the comparison.

For RGB monitors, I highly recommend the Commodore 1084S if you can find one for about $50 or less.

Why would a person who has a reasonably modern TV with component inputs (even the cheaper non-HD, non-widescreen televisions have them these days) want to buy a 1084 monitor for their PS2?

Me and 114 of my closest friends play Halo on an 85 foot wide screen every weekend.

Yeah, I tried taking pictures last night, both through the RGB cable and through composite, but it's so hard taking a picture of the screen...I couldn't really get a good shot. It's hard taking good pics of the screen! Everything is overexposed...I tried slowing down the shutter, but nothing worked too well. I just remember thinking how drastic a difference Ghouls 'n Ghosts was, right from the minute the SEGA logo that pops up before the title screen. No bleeding of colors, just sharp and precise graphics...everything looks so much better.

It looks impressive and all, but front projection screens are so 1981.

It looks impressive and all, but front projection screens are so 1981.

And it's too darned small. Try one of these instead:

(I wonder if you can hook an RGB cable to it ... )

Only problem with this logic is that the vast majority of PS2 games aren't "true" 16:9, so a widescreen actually distorts the picture in a way.

Correct, I don't see it as a problem though.

Look, I'm the expert to the 10th degree on display devices. I will be playing San Andreas on a 113 inch 16:9 movie screen, on a 51 inch 16:9 Sony, on a 32 inch crystal clear 16:9 Princeton Graphics HDTV monitor, as well as two different freaking RGB monitors!

You're fuckin special, now take it over to an A/V board that will give a damn, this is a videogame board, and NOT an audio video geek club. I know for a fact that wberdan has the best stereo setup on these boards, but he doesn't run around bragging and telling everyone to "get a better stereo, because OMFG this game roxorz on my setup!" every goddamn time he gets a new game does he?

But the best picture that I'm ever going to see of San Andreas is going to be on either of the RGB monitors.

Now, for a game in 480p, like Jak 3, the best display will likely be the 113 inch movie screen.

So, you'll be spending most of your GTA playtime on the 25" as opposed to you bigger TV's? Just because of a marginal 2% increase in visual appearance? That's just plain sad.

If by RGB you mean "Really Groovy Boxers," then, yes.

I play ALL my videogames in RGB.

[Sniderman]

I would like to play Microvision games in RGB. I think they would be greatly improved. Can you recommend how I could do this? What kind of modding would I have to do to the system? please help me out ?!?!?!?!? :P :/

Now I have this image of Dave playing his games in his boxers...

Tell me, Anthony, do you live or work in a Sony Style store or someplace like that?

If by warm chocolate puddin' you mean "Really Groovy Boxers," then, yes.

I play ALL my videogames in warm chocolate puddin'.

I nominate the quoted post for "Best post of the century".

[Mad Chemist]

I would like to play Microvision games

Don't worry! the stock Microvision supports BBB (Black, Black, Black), so no modding is required. I hear the BBB graphics are actually more sharp and clear than even the Dreamcast's VGA output - with absolutely NO color bleeding.

The only real problem is finding a Microvision that works in the first place.

[Achika]

I dunno.... if I had that much money, time and energy to just toss around how I please I'd be spending it on more videogames rather than wasting it all on 10,000 different displays to play them on.
