Xbox 360 Video Comparison
GameSpot Hardware writes "GameSpot has compiled a detailed evaluation of what to expect from the upcoming Xbox 360 based on the type of cabling that you are forced to use. The article shows multiple image overlays to show the quality difference created when you take the unit down from its high definition origins." From the article: "In the name of gaming science, we went out and purchased an RF modulator just to see how our 360 looks using the connection. Unsurprisingly, the RF cable offered the worst image quality of all the cable types we tested. Even with our Canon S400, the colors appeared noticeably more faded, akin to a '70s-esque sepia effect. That might look OK if you're taking shots of your friends discoing out to Saturday Night Fever, but it doesn't fly while playing Xbox 360 games."
Gamespot officially tells us what we all knew before.
The better your tv, the better your picture...
Thanks for that gamespot!! I was going to use my black and white 50hz 15 inch'er with rf input until I saw this article!
NEWS FLASH!!!
RF Picture quality sucks!
Component quality sucks less!
Svideo quality sucks even less!
Composite quality is pretty good!
DVI/HDMI quality is the best you can get on a consumer-grade tv!
For $10 I will write an article for your website arguing between TOSLINK and 75Ohm coax for audio, and then finish it with a tie.
IT WILL BE A REVELATION TO EVERYONE.
Oh, it will be an Xbox2 article too, so that it gets posted on Slashdot.
No wireless. Less space than a Nomad. Lame.
