I'm using Sony (Model:KV-DA29M61), HD-Ready TV with Sony Component cable somehow I can see a fade ring in the middle of the screen while playing GT4 in 1080i mode, size sligthly bigger than a CD. It is exceptionly obvious when running on open space.
I can see it all the time even in replay mode. Noted: I can see it from any camera angle, so I'm pretty sure it is not the game effect.
The ring just stick there in the middle of the screen & doesn't move with the view of camera.
Is it normal for HD-ready TV for GT4 in 1080i mode?
Is this TV good enough for GT4? I still can see some jagged image and a bit laggy eventhough it is way lesser than S-video cable.

" HDTV or HD-Ready
During the course of shopping for a digital television, the labels HDTV and HD-Ready maybe of some confusion to the consumer. This HDTV designation signifies that the set has an internal ATSC tuner/decoder, as well as meeting the widescreen specifications often required to be considered a true HDTV. The sets will meet the requirement to display in 1080i/720p, although it is often the former only. Very few digital TVs on the market will display in native 720p. The lack of an ATSC tuner/decoder is not necessarily a negative as many set-top decoders are now available with more features than those included in the integrated HDTV. The separate purchase of a HD-Ready TV and the external set-top-box often provides flexibility to the consumer to choose one that offers added features such as satellite receiver and the proper output signal. Most HD-Ready sets will include a high-band component (Y-Pb-Pr) DTV input, although few on the market also offers RGB for this purpose. There have been much debate between manufacturers as to the aspect ratio specifications of the HDTV designation, and it is now recognized that a true HD set will provide widescreen 16:9 aspect screen."
Okay, from my understanding, do I need to buy an external set-top decoders in order to bring the best out of my HD-ready TV? If so, where can I get one? How much?

QUOTE(giga97 @ Feb 13 2005, 10:56 PM) AFAIK PS2 only capable to do 480P only, right?If i not mistake PS2 is a product around year 2000 where HDTV specification still not spread wide that time. 1 minutes HDTV with 720P take around 50++MB, you can download some trial from http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsme...ntShowcase.aspxThat is a HDTV patern generator in my factory, the 1080I quality is superb even though in a regular TV SET(yup, regular TV CRT + special electronic circuit board.) But please take note that, so call digital TV broadcast is not free.We may need to pay for it just like Astro. But somehow GT4 able to do 1080i mode,wonder why?
