  1. console image quality?? by matt4077 · · Score: 5, Funny

    My console is text-only. Are these console-images a new feature in the Linux 8.0 that just came out?

    guide on how to improve your console's image quality.

    • squint
    • get glasses
    • stop playing with yourself

    I think those would be a good start. If they don't help, try:

    • turning up the brightness knob
    • turning on the display
    • plugging in the display
    • plugging in the console
    • inserting a game

    If after following these steps your image quality hasn't improved, consider taking the console back for a refund. Or better yet, just send it to me and I'll take care of it for you.

    Dear Sirs,

    I cannot find any information on your site about my "Scart" connection, which is the only other input my TV has - surely such a basic connection should have been covered in your "Comprehesive" guide to improving image quality.

    Yours Faithfully
