Re: TV recommendations

There ya go http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_interpolation I'd also say that my TV standards are much lower than others - if its sharp, decent color, dark blacks and no major pixellation/ghosting I'm happy. Well this sounds not like low expectati...

Re: TV recommendations

how does that answer my question? I'm interested because whenever I watch something on an HD tele I am completely distracted by how shit everything looks (not the quality, but that you can tell it's a set and everything's been built and painted) and it stops me being immersed in it and I find I get...

Re: iPad

Not being fanboy here - but aside from small netbooks, what is out there that is cheaper and more robust than the iPad? .... This is the kind of stuff I got it for, and I haven't seen anything that would do a better job - but perhaps that is just because I didn't know there was something that would...

Re: Doom 3 spinoff on iPhone

looks pretty ugly. just using the colormaps from doom3 won't cut it. there is not a single shadow visible. the doom3 media is not meant to be used that way it just looks flat and ugly with no depth. you should see what ngmoco is doing with the quake3 engine on the iphone, with dynamic light effects ...

haven't played the first one, but part2. gfx wise it doesn't deliver. res2 has alot of problems with textures as there is no consitence resolution through the scene. you can have a high rex tree sitting next to a low res textured card and that just looks odd. additionally it doesnt seem that the gam...
