Forums - Sony - Text is way too small.

I don't know about you guys, but on certain things the text on my PS3 is so small I literally have to walk over infront of my TV to see what it says. I don't have a huge ass HDTV but a modest, average TV. Is there some way to make it a bit easier to read?

Do you have an HDTV?



have you tried the zoom function like your supposed to?

i noticed the same on my old SDTV. Text in games is almost unreadable.

Works fine on HDTVs.

SDTV's have been forsaken in this generation of games. With an HD TV with at least 720p resolution, there's hardly any problem. You don't wear glasses or anything, do you? It may be a problem that you need to see an eye doctor about, seriously.

Trust me, I know I have terrible sight. But even with my glasses on it is still way too small.

It was a dick move for game devs to foresake SDTVs this gen. Yeah in 2009 buying a 19" 720p LCD HDTV for sub-$200 or a 22" 1080p HDMI LCD monitor for the same price is not a big deal (well we do have a recession though). But back in say late 2005/early 2006 when HD adoption wasn't what it's like now, it was a dick move for games like Dead Rising to be basically unreadable on SDTVs. It wouldn't have killed game devs to include text size options. Lazy bastards. lol. Even now, just for courtesy sake, they should include text size options.



Had this problem when I played in SD on a 28" screen. Moved to 720p on a 19" screen and problem fixed.

HDTV's are quite cheap nowadays.. well nowhere near the price piont of: "open up a bank account and receive a dozen". but still.. cheap.
