FFXIII Screen Tearing

Hello guys,

My friend has an SDTV and he noticed during FMV's some screen tearing. When I played mine on an LCD I didn't see this problem. Just wanted to ask if this problem is related to the kind of TV you have?

Thanks for answering.

I'm having this issue on a SD tv too, looks terrible when the action goes fast.

Well I've never EVER played a game with tearing this bad before.

Damn I play on SDTV, oh well.

I see. It seems it a TV related problem. He going to buy an LCD today. =]

Thanks!

make sure it features 120hz fresh rate at least, cuz 60 hz is horrible for gaming. 60hz = poor motion blur

i've never experianced tearing with my TV and it isnt HD, I guess my tv is just awesome.

It's kinda funny. I ordered an LCD monitor (24inch) to use for gaming (and FFXIII in particular) just this past weekend before all this info about screen tearing came up. Glad I ordered it when I did; it's supposed to arrive today. That sucks about SDTVs having that issue though. I've been using my old 27 inch SDTV for PS3 since I've had it ;/. Finally broke down and just bought the monitor (cheaper than an HDTV). I bet I will want to play through all my games again to see how they look :O

Yah, I will be using my own speakers, not the crappy ones that are built into the monitor.

Screen tearing has nothing to do with SD or HD. It is a problem with the coding of the game, and/or the game hardware not being able to achieve a smooth framerate with the way the code was written. I'm pretty sure if there is screen tearing in a game, it would appear regardless of the display technology used.. It's really a sign of laziness on the developer to release a game that has rampant screen tearing.2Chalupas

That's what I thought as well, but people don't seem to be reporting problems with anything but SDTVs, I dunno. No review has mentioned any screen tearing either (but I assume most reviewers don't review games on SDTV).

A lot of games suffer from screen tearing, even on HD TVs
