Having failed in his quest to convert the PlayNOW forum to the joys of 50 Hz gaming, Nathan has gone to the Edge forum in his quest. As this guy says...

Good gawd he is a psycho.

Most of the things he talks about are a problem with his TV, and the colour thing is just wierd as the DC outputs PAL 60 not NTSC

The resolution drop is minimal, it is visible, but a drop in resolution does not increase jaggies.

That is pool room material.

I urge Prince Underpants to post up the pool room, with young Nathan included, in that very thread.

With the kind of arguments Nathan is putting forward in his PAL vs NTSC issue I reckon he must actually be kingcaleb and clearly the reason most of us have differing views than him on this subject is due to the cocktail effect and stupid Sydney Uni psychology students!

LOL. Do you even know what 'jaggies' are? No? I'll tell you.


They are pixels palin and simple. Just pixels that stand out from their surronding pixels. The bigger these pixels are the more noticeable jaggies become.

Hi Nathan. I'm glad there's finally an expert at these forums. Thanks for coming. Any other amazing facts you'd like to share with us?

Obviously, Nathan, the solution is to buy a smaller TV, reducing pixel size and eliminating jaggies.

The signal coming from my PS2 is s-video, so it won't be in PAL or NTSC anyway, so I reckon that's irrelevant.


Huh!?! Can someone please explain that to me.

I thought they where trying to argue that you dont get NTSC/PAL colour when useing RGB cables..

Wtf is up with that? Is it right?

BTW I meant THAT (IE PAL 50hz-60hz) drop in resolution wouldnt creat more visible jaggies.

I would say Nathan is making a run for the Top Shelf.

He'd go even faster if he ran at 60hz.
