I can't really answer your TV question as of now, but I'll check on my 21" Trinitron when I get home later. For PS2, all games running on 50Hz will be switched to PAL and 60Hz display on NTSC mode only (even though the game is PAL region). I can't answer this for PS3 though since I don't have any PAL PS3 game to confirm this. For 360 it depends on the hardware (against PS2 depending of software), meaning a PAL 360 will display in PAL mode whether the games is running on 50Hz or 60Hz.

There's another way to get around the PAL/NTSC color display issue, but it's less common in our country. I'm talking about using RGB (not component), but since this kind of input is almost non existent in this country I'll refrain from going any further.

I haven't been bothered to play PS3 using CRT honestly, can't answer you that. But 360 on a 29" CRT is already a pain due to the small texts and borders. My CRTs are used strictly for DVDs and older games

Just did a quick serch on my TV, and yes, it's possible to set the color system without a remote. May be you'd want to change the settings manually. There are four choices:
1. B/G
2. I
3. D/K
4. M

ok, so it's really the tv problem. maybe your tv AV input didn't support NTSC, but that would be really strange.. how about NTSC 3.58?

i want to ask , im currently using a crt tv , 21inch Sony Trinitron , i dun know how to change the PAL/NTSC option , i think im stuck with PAL becoz only my PAL region PS2 games got color , when playing NTSC , no color , i lost the remote along time ago , imagine playing PS2 without color for 5 years ( only PAL games have , but very few i got ) , i tested it with RE4 , which have 2 option , NTSC and PAL , when i choose NTSC no color , but if play as PAL , have color.........its true story , im not lying.....tension already , now planning to buy new gen console , but if no color no use right.....anyway can teach me how to change the PAL/NTSC setting by manual , or i need to buy a new remote control ( if have can tell me where to buy and what price ) , if can manual pls teach me , i tried just pressing the menu , and choose NTSC , but when playing , still no color , ( tried AUTO also but still the same ) ,

my tv : CRT Sony Trinitron 21inch

my current console : PS2

my problem : NO color in most games , and NTSC is the majority ( like 99%) ,. only PAL got color

my hope : TEACH ME HOW TO CHANGE THE SETTING via manual , suffers for almost 5 years playing PS2 with no color ( imagine that )

thx

I used to use the exact thing too, but only for PS1 blush.gif Oddly enough my modded PAL PS2 can display NTSC games with color without that.

got a question here. i own a PS3 and a Aquos LCD TV.

many games that i played (such as fallout 3, silent hill 5, lost planet) - i experience a problem where the characters I see are very dark (from a 1st or 3rd person viewpoint)

this is especially when the character i control is facing the sun (or source of light), and he is looking at another character in front of him. its so dark i barely can recognise who is it.

i tried to adjust brightness and contrast and all other options available but the problem does not go away.

It's hard to be precise without actually seeing it myself, but my guess is lower your contrast, increase brightness, and set it to softer mode. See how it goes.

i try to capture screenshot for u gundam.. tks!!


---------

ok - easier to explan with screen shots.

game - fallout 3 with first person view.
TV - Sharp lc-37A63m
Dynamic Contrast Ratio 7500:1
Brightness 450 cd/m2


first screen - my back facing the sun, looking at a NPC
setting - 75% contrast (75% of max), default brightness - looks great

second screen - me facing the sun now, looking at the same NPC
setting - 75% contrast, default brightness - can;t see her face

third screen - me facing the sun now, looking at the same NPC
setting - suggested by gundam - minimal contrast, max brightness - bad too

fourth screen - me facing the sun now, looking at the same NPC
setting - 75% contrast, default brightness - a little better, still hardly can recognise her

any idea...?
