Devil May Cry 4: PS3 Vs. Xbox 360 Comparison Vid

[sieanr]

Okay first up did GT optimize the ps3 AC video?
you say that limited looks fine on their set, then why is it all washed out on the video?
If GT calibrated their set, AC would look a lot better than what they had shown.
If GT calibrated their set, they would be surprised that the video captured looked a lot worse than what they have seen on their set. If they were fair they would have tried to see what was wrong.
yet they deliberately showed the washed out version, is that fair i ask you?

now correct me if im wrong but shouldnt their capture cards support full range RGB.why would they set it to limited thus making the colors look washed out?
If theyre capture card doesnt support full RGB then isnt it an outdated piece of techknowledgy that is not qualified for this task?

sigh... here we go again

Limited will look fine on a set that is expecting black to be at 16. Understand this?
Limited will look washed out on a set/equipment that expects black at 0. Understand this?

The TV expects black at 16, so limited looks fine on their TVs. The capture card is likely expecting black at 0, so since things look fine on their TV at limited

you cant deny that the ps3 is capable of much richer colors and it would only look washed out if the set wasnt properly calibrated. i agree that color is dependent on the set, but it is also dependent on the source which is the ps3.

Except Full RGB doesn't make the colors any richer. All it does is change the range from dark to light.
Limited; Black is at 16 and pure white is at 236
Full; Black is at 0 and pure white is at 255
So all its doing is changing the range over which the image is outputted, understand?

Now some TVs expect the 16-236 range, and for those sets everything would look fine. Others expect 0-255 range, and everything would look fine with full. If you had outputted limited to a TV that expects limited and outputted Full to a TV that expects Full things would look identical.

You could say that the Full RGB option is better because the output range is a bit larger, which should lead to less banding. However, the general consensus on AVSforums is that the Full option is nothing more than th PS3 "stretching" the Limited option to 0-255. What this means is that there is really no actual advantage to using Full on a properly calibrated set, unless you have everything set up for a YcRcB on Bluray.

remember my set can handle Full so there is no detrimental effects that i failed to realize...

I was referring to your blanket statement "So Full is better, so how is it detrimental again?", hence the problems you fail to realize since your TV doesn't display them. Also keep in mind that your set should have an option for "video RGB" or "PC RGB" - which is the same as limited or Full. In other words you can see the problems of Full by setting it to Video RGB, and you can see how Limited and Full will produce identical results when thats what the TV expects.

Like Naz,Libellule and I said the game should be played in an optimized setting.
AC in my set looked a hell of a lot better than their video, and i didnt have black crush nor did i lose shadow detail. which leads me to believe that they half-assed captured the video...

And I think you're blowing a minor thing out of proportion.

just because where on the internet doesnt mean we can disregard common courtesy and manners...
Ive had my fill of keyboard warriors on youtube...

on a lighter note: Dood? Disgaea fan?

Youtube is serious business. Disgaea owns.
