issue with "double image" with my component Xbox and my new TV
« on: November 11, 2012, 09:41:22 AM »
dunno if theres anything that can be done here but I got this TV: Samsung UN46EH6000 46-Inch 1080p 120Hz LED HDTV

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-UN46EH6000-46-Inch-1080p-120Hz/dp/B0071O4EKU

It works fine for everything except my Xbox. I have an old Xbox that runs component cables. I'm getting a lot of annoying double image (best way I can describe it). When there's solid dark colors next to solid bright colors, I'll see a slight ghost image of the dark to the right. Same for vice versa.

In the menus for Halo 4 I see the white text doubled to the right over the blue background.

This causes a lot of blur and muddy looking textures.

I don't have this problem with my PS3 or PC via HDMi.

The obvious thing would be to get an Xbox with HDMI but I don't really want to spend the money on a console that will be getting replaced next year.

Is there anything I need to do? I've messed with the settings but most of the calibrations seem to be just for HDMI. Any suggestions?

Looks like a scaller issue, what greenman suggested is gonna be your best bet. Also try changing the RGB setting's if possible in the 360's menu.

Something I never thought to try?

Dumping the system down to 720p

and that fixed it. LOL

Halo 4 in retrospect will be worse than Halo 3.

no retrospect needed. halo 4 is not as good as Halo 3 overall.

I'm actually enjoying Rage. Being able to shoot baddies in the legs and watch them stumble is  kindof immersive.
