It really does look crap, what is up with that?

I don't remember my Dreamcast and PS2 games looking THAT bad.


Because you can see all the pixles and jaggies and crap that the standard def TVs mask with thier horrible resolution.

I still don't understand how SDTV's manage to mask the poor resolution, shouldn't it look the same on a HDTV?

I could be talking crap, but if I understand it correctly:

SD consoles can't output enough pixels to match the resolution of an HDTV. However, at the same time, they're set to be full screen, and as such, you can see the pixelations.

So it's the scaling?
