Ok so last night I got a new TV. I went from a 15 years old 17'' JVC TV to a brand new 50'' Plasma one (booyah!).
Problem is, FFXI comes out super ugly. Why? ; ;
I play on PS2 and eventho it wasn't High Definition qualtiy, the picture on the 17'' was clear and generally pretty good. Now on the 50'', it looks like it just stretches the picture, making it look all grainy. I played for 2 hours last night and had headaches from trying to read the blurred text.
I also set the image in FFXI to 16:9 from config, that helped... a little. I tried to put it back to 4:3(?) and set the TV picture to 4:3 as well, was clearer but still grainy.
I understand to whole "you need HD peripherics to get HD picture" but when I plugged regular cable in (not HD), eventho the picture wasn't as clear as in the store, it was still much better then when I was playing FFXI.
So what do I need to do? Is the PS2 to old for a TV like that? Anything I need to adjust on the TV? Can it be the connection cables? Do I need a newer console like PS3 or Xbox 360? ; ;[Help me out!]
Edit: I know someone talked about FFXI on PS3 before but I can't for the life of me find that thread. I think PS3 supports or runs with 1080 lines, which the TV can support (I have no clue what I am talking about right now). Would a PS2 game played on PS3 come out in 1080 lines or will I get the same, blurry picture if I were to get a PS3?
