clearer video of how artificial nes looks on a hdtv

[localhbci]

Some of those artifacts are from the NES, some from the fact that the TV treats each two successive frames as an interlaced frame, and some from shitty noise reduction algorithms.

is beatiful the 8 bit

The artefacts you witness likely comes from several sources. First of all you are reading from a composite video connection to an LCD TV, this NEVER works well. Second the NES was never meant to function at this resolution, of course the pixels will be huge. Third the scaling on your TV seems to be noisy, that is the only explanation for the striping, and noisy pixels around high contrast sprites. Fourth, that song blows, seriously that song is far worse than the video from the NES on your HDTV.

first thing i did was muted this. 2nd thing i did was give it a thumbs down. finally, i am posting a negative comment to complete the hat trick. and thats how its done.

[GameSupporterBen]

is this suppose to be a troll video?

[izlude2]

would an upscaler work?

[vincevaldez12]

Straps? Licht? WTF is wrong with you? Also, this isn't One Mushroom Hill, turn this shit off.

[Mr8bitgamer]

fuck this video it sucks

[demonseed2]

Dude that song is brutal

This is more like "clear video of how artificial nes looks on a crapy HDTV"

[particleman1701]

Your TV has poor image processing abilities. The lines in the brown logo aren't coming from the source, they're coming from your TV's image processor.

Fucking turn off this music.

[videogameobsession]

Wow, you're A2D converter is worst than most! Can I ask which HDTV you are using for this video? I have mine going to a Samsung 52" LCD HDTV and it doesn't look this back.. some slight banding and minimal artifacting. Turning off all the auto stuff can help greatly! Stilll not as good as a CRT, but not bad really.

[cockyjeremy]

Looks horrible, but how do you do it? My plasma doesn't have the old school coax connection. How'd you connect yours? Coax or some type of adapter?

[Marcx112]

Well its abvious that the NES is not going to look good on an HD tv its not ment for high definition/But you no whats worse that horrible music you put in this video now thats bad/

[JohnGotti0831]

Are you kidding me? yeah the reason it looks "artificial" is because this is an old system, made YEARS before hd. It was designed to be played on the tvs of that time period, not in high resolution because 8bit is far from hd quality. Wtf

[voltz15]

omg that's terrible! This looks like it was done with a/v, so I'm kinda wondering didn't nes have the same plugin as later systems? I know snes and N64 via svideo don't do that.

[MrRadioRage]

@voltz15

its not about the inputs

 it's about th resolitions

the cables have little to do with it

[Watcher3223]

NES video is composite, requiring comb filtering to separate the video's chroma (color) and luma (grayscale) elements. Some HDTVs do this well, keeping artifacts at a minimum, while others (such as this particular HDTV) do terribly, yielding a grainy, dotty quality to the picture.

A lot of cheap HDTVs made today are really BAD about this.

If only the NES had the ability to output video as RGB or Y/C (s-video), the problem we see here would be practically eliminated.
