Initially i wanted to say welcome to pc gaming 10 years ago, but then i remembered those CRT monitors could display hd ready and better resolutions perfectly fine :)

I guess i live in a wealthy country then considering i don't know anyone who would still play ps3/x360 on crt.

Im torn,

I want to say who gives a shit about SDTV performance.
But so many people still have to play it like that, my mate uses his PS3 on a 15" SDTV in his kitchen.


Holy shit that must be horrible, luckily I was gaming with my PS3 with a TV over 60' tall before our family upgraded to HD altogether.

Does your friend live in a country where electrical eqiuptment costs more than a castle?

PS One/2/p/3slim/Vita owner. I survived the Apocalyps3/Collaps3 and all I got was this lousy signature.

Well England is expensive but not that expensive.

He just doesn't have a lot of money and his family needs come before his own.

I guees they couldn't afford a better monitor after paying for live then? Anyway, Gears has nothing to do with the PS3. Screw the framerates off people with an sdtv anyway, hd gaming on lowtech don't mix babe. Like getting a F1 frame and putting a Volkswagen beetle engine i

WTF? You do realise that having an HD TV just isn't a priority for a lot of people. I hope you do anyway. Just because I have a $2000 PC, $5000 53" Bravia doesn't mean that I don't know people who could pay cash to do the same who still have SDTVs.

 



Tease.

Wait... PAL standard has always had 50 Hz frequency while NTSC has 60 HZ. PAL has NEVER been 60 Hz, 60 Hz only came to Europe with HDTV. Most old CRT TV's in Europe only supports 50 Hz so they can't even do 60 Hz. Games have been slower in PAL because TV's there can't even do 60 Hz. Better CRT TV's has 100 Hz but not even those always could do 60 Hz so supporting 50 Hz serves only very small audience (mostly newer LCD SDTV's).


He's completely right 50HZ was the norm and only high ends SDTV (like Bang & Olufsen) supported both frequency.

You say he is poor and his family needs come before his own and yet he owns a PS3 presmungly not a neccesity in life? Biggest contradiction of the year by you congrats!

Hmm let's see:

hdcp 19" widescreen monitor <100 euro
hdcp 22" monitors 150-200 euro
23-24" monitors 200-300 euro
32" hd ready not bad quality TV 300-350 euros

Yeah sd support is sooooo important :D

Normal people buy new TVs when the old one breaks.

The one I game on is 14 years old. (and yes it supports 60Hz, so I use that over 50Hz)
