You are not wrong, iclim4 is grasping at straws here. iclim4: Your analogy of using SDTV comparisons is misleading. Comparing SDTV 360 footage to SDTV PS3 footage, while technically fair since both are equally watered down, is futile as both are intentionally handicapped beyond their recording capabilities. You can't make a comparison video of graphics and decide to intentionally cripple them for fun and say it's still an accurate portrayal of their graphical capabilities. And before you try to take that line and throw it back at me please be reasonable and actually read the rest of my argument, otherwise don't expect any response you have to be taken seriously. The difference when using component cables instead of HDMI cables is that they aren't 'intentionally' crippling the footage in any way. HDMI footage can't be captured unless they are using a debugging system procured from Sony as part of the developers kit. I'm not sure if GT doesn't feel like forking out thousands for a debugging kit or if Sony decided game review sites can't have them as they aren't developing games per se but the end result is that they are forced to at best use component footage and therefore they are comparing the games with the highest quality image that they possibly can and have both systems at equal settings. It's not misleading as you state and the notion that they shouldn't even post comparison videos is idiotic. There are many graphical issues that people can observe from these comparison videos to make a purchasing decision that aren't affected at all by enabling Full RGB or Super White such as framerate issues or in the case of the Orange Box video the loading times. Therefore they do still serve a purpose and I can easily understand why they state the videos are there to help inform customers. @ssj12: Any evidence that component gives even the limited boost to the RGB signal that you state? Everything I can find states the contrary. Infact as far as I can tell HDMI 1.3 is required to take advantage of superwhite. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XvYCC (XvYCC is the internation terminology used for the technology Super White takes advantage of as stated by Sony at http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/superwhite.html) @mars: You can't honestly be serious and assume that they are using component cables because of the 360 even after everything that's been stated in the last two pages. Unless you are a joke account ala SDF please try reading past the OP before you post. |
im basing off my own eyes. I see a minor improvement in the colors with both on. Its marginal but I believe there is something.
