Forums - Sony - Improve PS3 Graphics with XMB Setting?

'Washed out' with your new PS3?

Most of you probably already know this, and I apologise if this is mentioned in a thread already.

This short video will explain things... as I don't want to start slating other sites on here.

This will proabably explain why most if not all PS3 game vids look a bit strange on 'some' game sites.

*If someone is able to put the video directly on this site then that would be great



Good to see this site is still going

What's the downside? If there is none, why is it not by default?



Ubuntu. Linux for human beings.

If you are interested in trying Ubuntu or Linux in general, PM me and I will answer your questions and help you install it if you wish.

I did that the same day I bought my PS3; looks kinda better...



Not sure why it isn't default.
Really I put this thread here as it would be informative for anyone who got a PS3 for Christmas.

It's just a colour difference/correction.. no big deal.

its not default because some TVs dont support super white or full RGB.

Couldn't there be a "Does this look alright?" test upon starting up a new PS3?

there is, the PS3 will auto-set what it beleive is best specs/resolution. Super White is for HDMI users.

Not true at all. Super white is a feature that is only supported on the more expensive 2007 Bravias, and even then it only makes a difference when playing Bluray.

Full RGB is a setting that theoretically shouldn't make a difference. Its basically there for people using Computer monitors with the PS3, or some of the few TVs that support it - otherwise it will be detrimental to the picture. But if you have your set properly calibrated it won't make a difference.

So, what two thing do I change?
