Paisan™ Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 So I recently got component cables for my PS2, but I am faced with a rather hard decision. Either go with ok-ish anti aliasing and a blurry screen, or go with crappy anti aliasing and a clear screen. I really can't decide, tell me your preference!

Straypuft Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Why not buy an old school tv? You could probably still find one at a thrift store for less than $20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEALUX Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Is this a CRT vs LCD thing? CRT has better contrast and in some sense better colors but you get more image clarity with a modern LCD.

Maxxeine Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Are you trying to use the PS2 on a modern display? It will look even better on a CRT. Personally I would have clearer image quality, even if it meant there was more aliasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted September 28, 2017 Author Share Posted September 28, 2017 (edited) Are you trying to use the PS2 on a modern display? It will look even better on a CRT. Personally I would have clearer image quality, even if it meant there was more aliasing. I'm using a modern HD TV. The clearer screen does look very good, but the anti aliasing makes it look like a toddler drew the game. Also when the TV's sharpness setting is halfway, there is major shadowing.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 You know what I did? I picked up a used CRT for free from a dues garage and used that. You can get them for free anywhere. That is personally what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paisan™ Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 The shadowing now is getting out of hand. I played GTA 3 earlier and there is major shadowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian_Yagami Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 Sorry for bumping old post, I have ps2 and CRT TV with component input, but I don't use component to CRT TV because it makes screen blurry and shadowing just like in HDTV. It depends games what I play, for me it happened to Mortal Kombat Armageddon but not when I played Valkyrie profile 2: simeria, Tekken 5 and Final Fantasy XII.

Prince_Polaris Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Get your hands on a big-ass RPTV, they use CRTs for that compatibility with old consoles but they're also huge! Gian_Yagami 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
