PS3 ON SDTV TV? does it look good?

Question

do ps3's look good on standard definition tv's, ive read that it looks the same if not worse than ps2 games.

Answer 1

I have gta 4. I have noticed that the writing on the mobile phone was hard to read on an sdtv until a couple of days ago when I bought a hdtv. The game seemed to of come alive. you can see things which were never there before. But the game still looked brilliant on a sdtv.  

Answer 2

Relative to consoles hoooked up on SDTVs like ps2, yes, the ps3 is just a tad bit better when it comes to clarity. SD is like sitting 50 rows back at a Strokes concert with a tall guy blocking your view. HD is like sitting front row center, maybe even on the edge of the stage. Lol. There is a HUGE difference between SD and HD, believe me. My eyes popped out of their sockets and my jaw dropped once I switched to HD.

Answer 3

nah, it would look good but it wont be the best look but its fine to use sdtv's..

Answer 4

Yeah, it's a tad the same on SDTVs at some point all games may become HD-standard; meaning you'll be seeing ugly black stripes on the top and bottom and have playing the game on such a compressed view. At some point you're going to have to an HDTV to get the full experience.

Answer 5

OK , no, it does not look AS good as on an HDTV, but it looks a trillion times better than a PS2 game anyway.

Answer 6

The graphics will still be amazing, but you won't get the "HD experience" like on an HDTV.

Answer 7

nothing looks good in SDTV once you've seen HD :)

Answer 8

I'm playing MGS 4 on a good 100hz SDTV. Really sweet. The picture is good, however, in September or October I'm planning to get LCD HDTV. The picture is a bit more detailed and crispier on it. Same as with PC games - the higher resolution - the better the picture.

Answer 9

its totally fine looking, and it does look pretty good, but no where near as sharp as hdtv's. half of my ps3's gaming is on a sdtv, and im doing fine with it
