Keep reaching for those stars.

I' m not good at that, so I actually buy the things.

Keep posting random pics off the inernet though.

I' m pretty sure I know all that. But just because something doesn' t have to be deinterlaced doesn' t mean that it will look fantastic after scaling.

If the Wii was only capable of 480i, it would have to be deinterlace it, as well as upscale.

" would have to be deinterlace it" ?

WTF is that?

Speak proper english.

That' s why I posted those pics of Zelda from the Gamecube that I found at AVS. The XBR does a great job of making 480p look great upscaled.

I also took some pics of Metal Gear Solid 3 and Xenosaga 3 from my Playstation2 on my XBR2. As you can see, the image quality is still great, even though it has been upscaled AND deinterlaced. (Those 2 games are only capable of 480i)

Nah, it looks jagged and blurried.

Find some better pics off the internet to claim as your own, and I might be impressed.

Such low resolution compressed photographs are really hard to show stuff off with. People like that Queasy dude says stuff like " Look how great Blue Dragon looks in 720p" when it is just a small picture of the game running on a TV with probably only 400-500 pixels of resolution high. The best way would be to pause the game so there is no movement going on, take the picture and post a giant TIFF that you extracted from the original RAW image file.

That is because the PS2 doesn' t have anti-aliasing. You sure know nothing.

Don' t worry. I' m happily enjoying my 46 inch XBR2 while you continue to stare at your " phantom" 1080p set.

But here' s a very special picture, just for you Evil Man.

I dont think my digital camera can take pictures in TIFF format...

Anyways, the only 480p game I own for the PS2 is God of War.

Yhatsi! And we have a winner...

I have a PS2 game that runs in 1080i. Gran TURDismo 4. Looks like ass in any and all modes, but it was interesting that they got 1080i out of that thing.

But how does it look?

Like ass.

Here are a couple of crappy pictures from my TV. Sorry about the moire but that happens sometimes when taking pictures of TV images (which is really a delicate art on CRTs).


Just the menu selection here. The game switches back and forth between 1080i and 480i. 1080i is used only for the races. I think the game will stay in 480p the whole time, though... not sure, don' t care.


Again, sorry about the moire (the rainbow stripes... they' re not really in the image). Also sorry about the lens' barrel distortion. But you can see that it is still very jagged and whatnot.

Looks like a problem with the scaler on your TV...

What does? Be specific.

Also there is no reason for my TV to scale 1080i to 1080i.
