60HZ Over Composite

[Macron]

Just wondering if anyone is using 60HZ mode over composite?

On my 32" LG 32LC2DB HDTV 60HZ looks awful. All the lines shimmer and the colours don't look right, 50HZ looks fine.

I have tried using both composite inputs and the scart adapter, but all are the same.

Just wondered if this happens to anyone else.

I tried setting it to 480i but it looked horrible so going to leave it set to 576i until I get an RGB Scart Cable, hopefully that will improve things.

Same result as you on JVC LCD. 60Hz was nasty

Anyone clever enought to know why this seems to happen on LCD's?

My mates CRT looks better in 60HZ.

Sony VPL-HS50 projector, and image MUCH better in 60hz!

As stated in Macron's thread, results differ on each TV/display.

There's another issue which is hard to explain.

Whenever text changes on the screen it looks really fuzzy for a moment and then clears up.

Can anyone explain this?

Hoping it will go away when I finally track down a component cable.

I'm using the Wii on a Toshiba 32wlt66 LCD with no obvious difference between 50 and 60hz using the <gag> composite cable. Componant in use by Xbox 360 so will be upgrading to the official RGB cable when available.

Don't get your hopes up, my Gamecube looks horrible at 60hz on my LCD even with an official RGB cable. 50hz is fine, as is 60hz on a CRT, but it's just something about LCD's and 60hz! DVD player looks fine at 480p and 480i though so I'm holding out for those component cables!

480i looked like utter crap on my Samsung LE40R51B. 576i looks alright. PAL 60 on my original Xbox and Gamecube looked fine. I too am hoping for component to improve things.

I am not using an LCD, just a 32" CRT and my Gamecube through RGB Scart has always looked great on it in both 50hz and 60hz.

Sorry Dude, didn't realise you had a CRT. The 'cube used to look lovely on my CRT on both freq's until it died too...........

Yeah 60hz looks truly awful on my LCD

 

[emcm0026]

60hz looks a lot worse than the 50hz on my plasma, saying that still to try with the scart adaptor,
60hz effect is slight ghosting, fuzzy and colours look wrong

I dont think the scart adapter will add any quality, it will just provide the same composite signal through a scart socket.

thanks for that saves me pulling out the tv to get at the sockets, just need to wait on that preorder for the component to come sometime this year i hope

I'm also having the same issues with 60Hz over composite. Has anyone who has this issue managed to get hold of a component cable yet? really hoping that will sort it but just can't get hold of one myself yet.
