Sam P Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 For those that have gotten TMNT for your 'Box, are you having display issues? I have a Panny 47" Rear Projector HD set and it outputs very strangely compared to the rest of my Xbox titles. I get these vertical banding artifacts which are pretty subtle but definitely there in both the cut scenes and gameplay. Also, the entire picture is misaligned. I get a vertical black bar along my right edge (about an inch thick) and the left side looks as if the convergence is off. One last thing, when I play with the Aspect Ratio settings, I can toggle through 4:3, Zoom, Just, and Full where the rest of my Xbox titles only allow 4:3, Zoom and Full. This is very odd. I only get the Just mode when Im watching cable. Not with the 'Box or DVDs. Also, the only mode it looks fine in is 4:3. I don't think it's a defective disc. It doesn't have a scratch and discs aren't ever really defective are they? Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 The game isnt enhanced at all for HDTV . maybe thats the reason it only looks good in 4:3. I mentioned it in my review thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam P Posted October 27, 2003 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 When you say that, do you mean it's outputting 480i? It would explain the ability for my TV to use JUST mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't own it to verify, but the reports I'm hearing is that it is 480i only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bryan Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Haunted Mansion is 480i only also. I am surprised that progressive capability is not supported in these titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes no sense. As far as I know, the 'Box throws the image to a frame buffer, where it is still in progressive, then alters it accordingly for a 480i or 480p output. Which means everything should be rendered progressively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bryan Posted October 27, 2003 Report Share Posted October 27, 2003 Sam, I don't know about the inner workings of the console, just that when I put a 480p game in I can see it and when I put HM in I couldn't see it. My HD component cables are going to an input that only shows 480p/720p/1080i. I switched to the advanced a/v pack and a 480i/480p input and saw it perfectly. Monitor is Samsung HLN467W.
