It's basically about MS wanting to have minimum amount of options in dashboard. More options means more simple folks having more problems and calling more to MS' hotlines. It's like that situation with component's TV <-> HDTV switch, which is clearly visible and well documented, but most mouth breathers out there couldn't figure it out and phoned an angry call to MS.
PC/Video switch in settings would help us, but it'd confuse those who cannot chew gum and walk at the same time, so my bet is that MS won't put it in even if we ask.
And Carlo, again, you should read these pages before commenting.
Here's the overburned / washed out image for you againExcuse me? I've read the whole thread. You see, even on my 'dark' bedroom monitor (high black threshhold), the FIFA screens don't look good no matter what because there is no attainable data. It is a screen that shows the effects of the burn in, but, even if I calibrate my monitor to be darker or whatnot, I cannot recieve the 'fixed' picture because the only data that the screen shows is 'whiteness', not grey Covered by 'whiteness'.
Do you udnerstand what I'm getting at?
The first pic, the outfit example, looks fine on my bedroom monitor because nothing is burnt out, it's jsut a darker and duller picture. The FIFA screen is an image with whites.
For example, if I view a hockey arena on my tv, pump up the brightness so the blue and red lines on the rink are burnt to WHITE, and take a picture with my camera - all you will see on your computer is a white rink. If you turn down your brightness, you aren't gonna be able to see the blue and red lines on the ice because the data doesn't exist on the image.
I'm sure you know this, I'm just trying to get my point across. The first screen looks fine to me ebcause there is no image damage, just more of a slight change in overall contrast and color depth. The FIFA pics have a white burn effect that anyone would see with any monitor.
What I'm trying to say is that you can't tell me that those screens are carbon copy examples of what anyone else would get on their monitors. The only way to see if you can FIX the problem for different monitors is to hook up a 360 to it. With the 360, you can attain those 'blue and red lines on the ice' because the data still exists. With a photo of a white rink, the data DOESN'T exist.
Not a flame post.
