What do you play WipEout HD on?

[GalacticSpartan]

1080 ftw lol.

[G-Hob]

For all those on SD, it really really REALLY is worth the upgrade. Wipeout HD is massively better in HD and you might fly better too as you seem to get more FPS than on a PAL SDTV. If you are susceptible to losing ability with low framerates then HD can make the game easier. Some people can play at 15 FPS of course, but they are aliens.

Why would the framerate be lower at 480i than at 720p or 1080p?

Right now, Im running on a 15" Prima HD (720p) and upstairs, 42" Sceptre HD (1080p).
WO just looks GORGEOUS in full HD

[AG-wolf]

grrrrr WOOF!

lol, really now?


I use a 42inch 1080p Sharp Aquos. No fun surround or any fancy-schmantsy stuff like that. *shrug*

Oh, I hear ya. My 15" has PC speakers attached to it. Although it has a sub-woofer (3"), its just not the same. The 42" has 5.1 surround, but not hooked up to anything but the dvd player...ugghhhh...

I just got myself a Bravia 40W5500 to match the PS3 I'm going to buy this week.
The audio will go to a Logitech Z-5500 I bought some time ago also with the PS3 in mind.
Strange numeric coincidence.

NTSC 480i TVs display a 60hz signal, but the effective framerate is effectively only 30fps as interlacing draws only half the image at any one time - odd fields, even fields. Field rates are twice the framerate.

Oh, I see.

22" Acer LCD monitor, 720p
It is also my computer monitor, so I swap between the DVI cable to my PC with a HDMI to DVI cable when I wanna use it for my PS3.

• 40" Samsung LCD (1080p)

• Yamaha receiver with 5.1 hook-up

I now play it on this 37 inch 720p LCD by LG:

I've upgraded to 480i - stereo - old, huge, POS Tube.

I can't even see what names I'm racing against anymore - but my PS3 has been getting worse and worse playing with my 1080P display - and sadly, it's not the display.

The strangest part, was the HUGE amount of lag I was used to playing with. I continually turn INTO corners prematurely now - and I keep botching the boost-start at the countdown. Don't get me wrong, being able to avoid mines now is awesome, just need to re-program my brain after xx months playing the old way.

Now only if it was HD, and a clear picture with that response time - I'd be able to play worth a damn. (perhaps)

I play on an old SDTV which is slowly dying, occasionally the screen goes all fuzzy and the brightness/contrast is poked - I've got bright turned all the way up and yet when I go through a tunnel I can't see a thing...have to navigate tunnels (or sometimes shaded areas of track) by memory - have no idea where other ships are until I get out the other side!

[As Heaven Is Wide]

I play on a 28" (widescreen) CRT TV which is excellent at what it does but no HD so

My sound setup on the other hand is a bit more interesting.
I have a Victor SU-DH1 headphone amp which is the japanese version of this

The only real difference being that the japanese one can be plugged into a mains socket. This gives a surprisingly good surround sound effect through normal headphones (in my case Sennheiser hd555's).

I play on Pioneer "Kuro" PDP-LX5090, 50". Sitting about 3,5 meters from the screen gives best performance on near-view. If I run on cockpit mode I sit closer for best performance (and I do that only in zone races), but prefer to sit a bit back from the screen. It is just fantastic!

[assoartu64]

i play on sony bravia lcd 46"...i stay on my bad in front of this like “sitting bull mode”.

the distance.......1 meters only...i like the "immersive" mode!!

it is no good for performance .....and eyes but it is fantastic

I never met a Sennheiser that I didn't like.

Just think, when you guys and gals running in SD finally do get an HD TV, it will be like night and day. When I made the switch, I didnt have Component cables, and was thinking, whats the big deal about this...looks like still. When I got component cables (Monster HD), I was like , OMG!!!! Heaven!!!!
All Im saying is that its a substantial difference

[eLhabib]

You can get that OMG feeling once more if you switch to HDMI

[IH8YOU]

And get that feeling another time if you don't get Monster as they rape and pillage (especially with HDMI). Amazon it next time.
