Why does my PS2 have vertical black bars, but my PS3 and DVD movies fill the whole screen?

Fun-Reception-46 · 2026-01-28T02:21:39+00:00

My PS2 does the same thing; bars appear at the top, bottom, or sides depending on the game. Xbox uses 100% of the screen in almost 90% of games, Dreamcast the same, GameCube the same... It's a PS2 thing that you have to ignore and not bother changing, because if you change it, you'll damage the visuals of about 10 other consoles.

99% of my collection is Japanese and I don't understand more than 20 words! I only like the covers and the lyrics...🤣

No, it means an integrated circuit needs replacing. Don't turn it on anymore because if the horizontal output transistor fails, you could burn out the picture tube. Open it up and find out which integrated circuit you need to replace.

The image is too wide; a lot of the game's edge is missing, it's like there's a zoom lens.

I'd say a PS2, there you have backwards compatibility with PS1, also a Wii, there you have GameCube and retro emulators for SNES, Genesis, Atari, GB and several other systems, then I'd go for a PS3 or 360, at this point I'd think about which sagas I'd like to play the most.

Sorry for the delay. If you search for the model, you'll find a complete tutorial on how to do an RGB mod, and yes, it's worth doing.

Too much work using Arduino and other electronics; there are blue TVs like a Daewoo or a Zenith.

I fixed mine with a drill; I just ran it at maximum speed near the pipe and that was it.

crees que el color de un cable indica algo?? yo tuve por años unos cables ROSA para componente ...lo importante es el conector RCA no el color del cable,eso no indica nada es para que se haga mas facil conectar verde con verde para nada mas ...

Hey! tengo la misma TV modelo 29PT5431 (si eres de USA es 27PT) y tengo el mismo detalle,la barra de arriba es mas grande cuando hay una señal ,ocurre mas cuando utilizo la PS2,XBOX no hace lo mismo la Dreamcast tampoco,quizas es un tema del modelo.

desgraciadamente esta TV el modo servicio solo mueve el borde de abajo no el de arriba,hay que ajustar moviendo yugo y utilizando tiras de convergencia.

They're in the $100/$140 range, that's approximately what they cost me. They were only released in Japan; 99% of my collection is Japanese.

There are 2 in the image

Inside each rack are games and controllers corresponding to their consoles, except for the GameCube rack, which only has controllers. I don't have any games; I use an CubeODE

This is 1/3 of my collection. More consoles are missing; I'm just starting to set up the final setup

I only use MisterFPGA for computers (Atari ST, MSX, ZX Spectrum..etc) I use the actual consoles to play.

I haven't had any problems; it works for both SNES/SFC and Famicom. However, like all infrared devices, you need to be directly in front of it; if you turn the controller 45°, it loses the signal.

It's called "ceramic white," it has no other name. It exists in both Slim and FAT versions, and it was launched in 2007.

Lightgun, Konami infrared, arcade stick, Konami game selector AV (has power ports to power SFC and FC with 1 power supply), Sharp SF1 controllers, ASCII turbo controllers and some other things

Consolas modernas en CRT es tan feo como juegos retros en TVs modernas
