Does it have muddy graphics or jaggies. Im not a graphics whore, but im getting irritated by articles and forums dissing WiiU and its graphical performances. Since im from England i wont be sampling WiiU delights until at least next week or beyond. So i want to hear it from the good people here on VG chartz who own WiiU, does it stand up graphically and are the reports just fanboys stirring up a bit of trouble. |
The only reason you would get muddy graphics is if you are using an HDMI cable with an HDtv that doesn't support Limited RGB. In that case just switch to composite, it is an oversite on Nintendos part but hopefully one that will be rectified soon. And I've really seen no issue with jaggies, they are present but nothing I've played even warrents a comment, and the downscaling to the tablet looks good. I bought the Wii U because I could, I didn't pre-order, I'm not a fanboy of anything, I was at Target and it was in stock and that was an opportunity the gamer in me could not pass up. After spending some time with the console, I absolutley love it (and I really don't have any notable feelings about my PS3 or 360, maybe occasional annoyance). I highly recommend the Wii U to all, it's new, it's fresh, and it provides a fun and unique social environment.

How do you find out if your TV supports Limited RGB because I goggled my TV specs and can't find a clear answer. Its a Samsung le32r73bd.

Not sure, I'm using a 3-4 year old, 46" Samsung plasma, 1080p, and my picture is nice and clean. I really wish I knew more about Limited and Expanded RGB and which HDtvs may specifically support either, but I don't and I don't know where to look for that info.

Every tv supports limited RGB range, it's the standard for tv broadcasts and movies.
Full RGB is for pc monitors and only a few tvs support full RGB range.
Full RGB range uses values of 0 to 255 (1 byte) for red, green and blue. TV broadcasts and movies limit this to 16-235, hence Limited RGB. Imtermediate and Expanded RGB are confusing terms introduced by xbox 360 and some tvs, there is no such thing, tv's work with limited range out of the box, monitors with the full range. Some tvs let you switch to full range or incorrectly named expanded range.
What it all means is, if you connect the wiiU to a pc monitor black will look like grey since black on the WiiU is RGB value 16,16,16 instead of 0,0,0. Simply increase the contrast and adjust the brightness a bit to fix the image.
However the same can happen with some modern tvs. The tv might switch to full rgb range processing when it receives an RGB signal. (Normal tv and blu-ray/dvd signals are in YCrCb color format) Simply increase contrast and adjust brightness to fix the washed out picture.
You might need to do that too if you have previously calibrated it for an xbox 360. The x360 has a gamma adjustment in the video output to make the picture a bit darker. Looks better in stores that have tvs set to high brightness and contrast to grab attention. So if the 360 looks great and you plug in the wiiU afterwards in the same input it might look a bit washed out.
