Sony Bravia PS2 TV

I wonder what revision the motherboard is based on.

 

Yeah, if the hardware is beyond SCPH-70000 you won't be able to install a HDD module anyway.

 

I would buy one but they might remove the ps2 function via firmware update :lol:

 

lol´d


b2t: actually I dont trust those...or do you want to have like 10 TV´s just to have 10 different consoles in the future (not gonna happen anyways, but...)

well, I don´t.

 

it's like a Macintosh (1980s)..nice on the outside, quite functional on the insides..and it saves space

 

This is the perfect tv for the holiday season..........of 2004:lol:

I wonder if they'll launch a 37 inch model with a PS3

For legal games you're already own, right? else the FBI will come here and kill us:flamethrower:

 

We are retro gamers :thumbsup:

 

The frame around the screen is way too fat if you ask me. Still, it is cheap so....

 

I'd most certainly get an NTSC one if I were looking for a TV. Hell, if it had a VGA input, I'd seriously consider it.

... now, that PS2 would be quite hard to install a mod-chip on, wouldn't it?

 

Going to be grabbing one of these in the new year so my wife can sit and play all her crap in the bedroom

 

According to the manual, it has VGA, Component, S-Video and Composite.

 

So for an extra 100 pound you get yourself a TV? Gotta admit that is pretty much full of win

 

the TV specs make it look like it's using the BX3 as it's base

 

I want this, this is cool.

This is definitely going to be a rare/valuable commodity in the future IMO, just because it's so kooky.

I want one for my garage.

 

My wallet is gonna hate me!

 

Good god that is ugly.

From the manual it looks like they made a new case that encompassed the TV and the PS2. In all likelyhood they pipe the raw RGB signal or it's equivalent for the circuitry in the LCD part of the TV, straight from the PS2. It'd be idiotic to not use the best possible signal but it's not like there isn't precedent for that happening.

Probably would support 1080i of GT4 and at the very least 480p from any game that supported it.

 

The TV can only handle up to 720p so it's not even full HD. No 1080i I'm afraid.

 

But all sub-1080p HDTVs by now internally scale down 1080i/p content anyway.

So... the PS2 COULD in fact pipe a 1080i signal to the TV and it would hopefully downscale it.

GT4 and Tourist Trophy, woot.

EDIT:
AHH, I just reread Yakumo's post... Yes, it won't be 1080 level... but at least it'll be fairly sharper than 480p.

As chadwarden says.. "we need some aitch-dee games up in dis caddy"

 

I piped GT4 to this display when it came out over 1080i via component, and honestly it was little better than 480p scaled 1:1 to the full size of the display.

Thankfully it was nice and sharp without any real blur which is what bothers me about using composite and s-video from older consoles on modern TV. Makes me want to rent a temperature/humidity controlled storage shed and have a display of every type I could ever need inside.
