Help with RGB (HDMI) option

Killens84 · 01-14-2008

Can anyone give me some info on the option where, if you're using HDMI, you can select for the RGB to be full or limited? I tried both. On full, the colors are richer and more contrasting, but it seemed to hurt the quality of the graphics. It seemed like all the edges in the picture were a little choppy, rather than smooth. When I set the RGB to limited, the colors weren't as rich and contrasting, but the overall quality of the picture seemed to be smoother. Any advice? Under what circumstances should each option be used?

You know the other day I was playing with that setting trying to figure out what its main purpose was. I tried googling it and I got nothing just alot of color spectrum diagrams that i didnt understand.

There is a comparison video on YouTube (can't find it now) showing you should set it to limited, and also turn on the ultra bright option while you are there.

They say this then makes the PS3 have the same graphics qualities as the 360, although I still think the PS3 has better graphics anyway. (Don't want to argue about that)

I can't really see the difference in changing the RGB option, but limited sounds better so I just went with it.

The ultra bright obviously makes the whites brighter which you can notice even when looking at the XMB.
