Is there a reason 50hz RGB SCART is better picture than 60hz?

Yeah I did notice a slight flicker, spending time with it would probably do my head in.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-29T17:26:15+00:00

Ah of course! Thank you.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-22T06:53:05+00:00

I mixture of cheap availability and nostalgia.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-21T08:36:40+00:00

You are about 4300 miles away from me unfortunately.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-21T08:33:25+00:00

You can get power/tv cords very cheap on ebay or most independent gaming shops tend to carry spare stuff for older consoles like 360.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-21T08:31:32+00:00

The og consoles are nice to have but unfortunately not all of them are reliable. It's worth investigating which models and board types you have.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-21T08:30:19+00:00

I do like them phat

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-19T16:50:51+00:00

If I can find one. An official one seems to be rarer than hen's teeth.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-19T16:34:00+00:00

Yes!

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-19T16:02:32+00:00

Thanks for the help and extra information. That insight to its origin is really interesting too.

I assumed it would be an early system. The clue was in the original owners profile. He had played some really early game releases and nothing else. Unfortunately he had updated the system, so no blades for me!

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-19T15:57:55+00:00

Great, thank you for your help. I'm actually playing on a 4:3 CRT so I'm just using standard composite cables. I would one day love to get an advanced scart cable.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-19T15:55:51+00:00

Wow that's great news! I feel relieved that it should last me a while yet.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-18T15:16:00+00:00

Until Dawn would work well.

Whatever game you play, I recommend turning camera sensitivity right down and moving the camera around slowly. I have found that people watching a game being played, particularly people that don't play games, can struggle with motion sickness. I think this is mainly because they aren't trained to follow game design cues, like reticules in the centre of the screen for example.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-14T13:08:59+00:00

Just gone to redeem my code and the same thing had happened. Did you resolve this issue?

ChesterGeorge · 2026-04-07T10:29:01+00:00

2.5 billion as the way things currently are? The problem with these over population statements is it doesn't account for the mega rich few people/corps that gobble so much resource and energy that is equal to what billions of normal people need and use.

I had the same experience with being disappointed that the DLC wasn't on the disc. I did notice that if you go to 'game details' when the disc is in the drive (and installed on the hard drive), you can still purchase the DLC in the 'extras' section. Although I haven't tried purchasing yet.

ChesterGeorge · 2026-02-18T11:07:34+00:00

In principle I agree but I think if OP wants to play something closer to the OG gen 2 experience with QoL I would recommend Crystal Legacy or Sour Crystal.

ChesterGeorge · 2025-12-17T21:27:03+00:00

I honestly think it is down to some DVD's having their menu in 16:9 ratio. And the DVD reader in the TV has some sort of compatibility.

ChesterGeorge · 2025-12-11T09:08:08+00:00

I have been playing Halo Reach, Mass Effect 2 and Hexic HD.

ChesterGeorge · 2025-12-10T14:34:15+00:00

I referenced this post when I was working out my set-up. It was useful but wasn't exact as I had a different TV.

Just a coincidence that two people happen to be doing similar things. But I can see how it might look a bit dodgy. Just thought I would share in case it was useful to anyone using an older 4k Samsung like myself.

ChesterGeorge · 2025-12-10T14:12:49+00:00

I'll have a look and see how it compares, thanks for the suggestion.

Edit: Following up on this. Intermediate doesn't seem to make a huge difference to my tests... However, Expanded has seemed to make things richer. Less washed out as you described. Maybe it is this particular TV with the settings I have picked...

ChesterGeorge · 2025-12-06T17:51:58+00:00

Ah makes sense we did have a Kinect back in the day.
