    Hi

    I came across with this site
    http://www.retrorgb.com/saturn.html

    It mention that Sega Saturn Model 1 is better than Model 2 because Model 1 has the high quality picture display than Model 2. Can someone confirm this is true?



    Thanks.

    That's comparing Saturn to the arcade. Notice where it says "free play".

    Thanks for reply.

    Also, I just wanted to know that is it true that Model 1 display high quality res than Model 2? Since the site mention it. I wonder If that true or not? I can't find the source for this.

    Thanks

    Model 2 arcade hardware is miles ahead of Saturn in the 3D department.

    Saturn Model 1 & 2 differences are not like the video above. Nowhere near.

    I know, I had it all wrong.

    Thank you confirm this. I guess that page is wrong then.



    I guess I confused one or two things.

    Just wait for the 4K revolution. Major retailers are already selling TV's supporting "2160P". Great for designers, because it will bring 4K display costs down. But not so great for consumers when most television channels only output in 720P.

    The price difference there is lovely as well as the fact that the component cables suggest I'll have a girlfriend because of them. If I was a bit more desperate I'd happily blame the fact my TV is only 480p capable.

    Those are expensive cables. However I get the feeling that I'm supposed to find it funny that the cables are "the same" and yet differently priced. However they aren't the same (and I'm not talking about the colour coding).

    Why arent they the same?

    Same connections, can be used interchangeably, just different colours.

    Hypothetically the component cables should be built to handle more bandwidth? But you're right they're probably identical short of the colors. In high school I told this to a friend who got the XBox HD kit and didn't believe me. He went home, gave it a shot and came back the next day admitting I was right.

    Sorry to bother you guys, but I'm confused: Why is there a link to the RetroRGB Saturn page on top, but this thread talks about "vs Model 2 Arcade" and a video? Was there originally a different link in the first post?

    Gotcha, thanks.

    @Unknown-Organization - Would you mind editing your 1st post to reflect that? I've had a few people see this thread and ask me about my "Saturn video", which doesn't exist.

    @Druid II - I often see you post excellent information regarding the Saturn and it's motherboard revisions. Do you have a website with this info that I can link to, or do you normally just post on forums? As I say on my Saturn page: I'm not a Saturn expert and am always looking for new information.

    Yes, here the video which I remove it from my post, Since it just Model 2 vs Arcade. I was confused which I though it was Model 1 vs Model 2 but it not.
