Yes, plz put a karangan on it... also how bout the superwhite or something like that? coz i see some pixelated green pixels while playing winning eleven10  nod.gif

AFAIK, Full RGB and Super White are meant for PC Monitors, not TVs. So if you use a Monitor, go ahead, otherwise, turn them off smile.gif

Karangan time laugh.gif

IINM, most TVs display a color range of 15-235, and most monitors 0-255. Full RGB makes the PS3 output at 0-255 (which is why it says 'set this as necessary with the display in use' or something like that).

So:

Which basically means, when you turn on Full RGB on a HDTV, 0-14 and 236-255 are being output, but are not visible, so you essentially get less shades of black and less shades of white as well. This makes the pics less 'washed out', but upon closer observation, some shades merge with other shades, which makes the colors look 'deeper', but some colors are lost.

For example, the PS3 version of MW2 looks washed out compared to the 360 version side by side, as shown here:

Attached Image

After adding Full RGB, the colours look more or less the same:

But if you look closely (although not so evident in that shot), the shadows have less shades of grey after the adjustment.

For a clearer example, look at the cliffs behind Soap in the next pic and tell me which one has more colour rolleyes.gif

so basically, I can switch off FULL RGB on my HDTV?

Hey, will try this at home smile.gif

I'm still tweaking my new 42" baby

Well, technically speaking, some HDTVs do display the whole spectrum of colours, but you'll need a calibration kit to see if yours can wink.gif

Full RGB is more or less turning up the contrast on your TV all the way laugh.gif

gnsumas is getting there to be a HDTV expert.... brows.gif

I generally despise Full RGB on a HDTV though, as it does mess up color accuracy quite about. Especially if it is a plasma.
Full RGB is however give or take, essential on monitors on the other hand.

Full RGB is pretty botched up laugh.gif

Although I guess we do have the upper hand, as we get the option to turn it on or off, while 360 users have no option tongue.gif

ohhh... im using hdtv n the full rgb is turned on all the while, so is it better to turn it off evethough the colour appear wash out ?

AFAIK, yea... Turn it off nod.gif

But if you prefer it with Full RGB on, go ahead.

After all, I'm not playing your game, so tweak it to suit your needs, not mine. flex.gif

the colour washed due to tv don't support full rgb perhaps

Without Full RGB, it will look washed out, no matter what TV you use.

But the 'deepening' of colours in Full RGB is where the colours are lost icon_rolleyes.gif

The source good or not?

If the source is bad, then the audio will be bad.

Hi guys i'm planning of getting a PS3 so i can play modern warfare online and i'm a nood with gadgets what i would like to know is once i hook my internet wire to PS3 can online and play already or must configure stuff and i have only a normal tv can play???
*
PS3 can go internet with the wire or with a wireless router.

No need to configure one icon_rolleyes.gif

Normal TV can play, but you might want to invest in a HDTV after that. Some games got very small text, cannot be read on SDTV.

Also, some games are region locked when running on SDTV

Know anyone that still sells US $50 PSN cards?

I think you could try PMing arj for that.

He once acted as a middleman for this guy who dealt here on the forum. The guy sold $50 PSN cards for $48, IINM.

arj helped as the guy only dealt via PayPal and people didn't trust him as he was new.

AFAIK, no one got conned by him.

we know the PS3 upscales DVDs.

Does it also upscale SD AVIs?

It upscales videos as well brows.gif

But if the AVI is rubbish, the upscale shouldn't be much better anyway

Also, I keep getting DNS error...

Sometimes can sign in fine, but when on MW2 if it hangs and I restart, I will get DNS error for up to a week cannot connect grumble.gif
