Kameo: SDTV vs HDTV comparison picture


Recommended Posts

Well I think if you have a high-end CRT that happens to have no HDTV you shouldn't be so bloody worried.. The games WILL LOOK GREAT!

HDTV is better, there's no doubt about that. However it's foolish to think that Next-Gen games will look current-gen on a non-hdtv set. That's bull****.

And not trying to insult the guy who took those pics but.. Something about those 720p screens does not look right. Maybe it's just the fault of the camera I don't know.

Are you sure that's PGR3? It just doesn't look right...

Hmm, looks like the difference is significant like they say. But no more than the difference between standard and HD has always been...

notice the xbox 360 advertisement in the back of the image... :laugh:

Here is PGR on SDTV.  Quality to me is really tone down.

If i bought the Xbox360 and PGR3 and it looked like that i would take it straight back to be honest.

I'm hoping it wont.

This is really stupid.

The only different between HTDV and SDTV is resolution. 480i vs 1080i for example.

So why on earth would there be visual quality difference? Sure the picture would have more detail in HDTV, better resolution, but the QUALITY (texture, effects, blur, animation, etc) should be the exact same.

If the graphics look crap in SD, that means they're crap in HD aswell, maybe HD is hidding it. Similerly, if the graphics are good in HD, then they should be GOOD in SD as well.

For Example running HL2 on highest setting on 800x600 vs 1600x1200, you see more detail on the latter, but the Quality should be the same.

wow, looks like im not going to buy an xbox 360, i cant afford to shell out 2000 for a hdtv just so i can play games.

You're an idiot. The PS3 will have this "problem" too. Are you really surprised that it will look better on HDTV? Kind of a no brainer, really. I don't understand why so many people are freaking out.

you are correct for the most part but with HD the texures cna look higehr REZ cause it is running higehr REZ and a few more detials can comeout . while yes the textures can eb the same and otehr effects they will be a loss in image clarity it is kinda like using a Xbox on composite video connection compared to S-video the S-video connects shows mroe detials in texures.

Exactly, it?s like getting ****ed at your cable company cause your SDTV doesn?t display your TV programs as well as your friends HDTV.

I don?t get why everyone is now noticing their old TV don?t look as good as an HDTV.

Hmmm....something's fishy about the SDTV PGR3 pics. The cars don't even have reflections. :rolleyes:

Looks like I'm going to get a HDTV from Samsung from Rent to Own(lol). But don't HDTV's need an HD source?

The Xbox 360 will be the HD source.

Misconception. The 360 IS an HD source. You're thinking of HD television, which does require either an ATSC tuner (aka hdtv decoding tuner) or an HD box (which includes the decoder). But that's just tv, any other HD devices will work as long as you have the supported cables (xbox360 is so far component for HD modes).

Those PGR screens cannot be right. Looks like it's running on a PS or N64. Anyway, I played COD2 and Kameo on a demo machine today and COD2 looked awesome. Kameo looked okay but I don't know I expected more for that game. Although I never played it, only the beginning scenes.

dont get ****ed off because M$ slanted the weight over to the HD side, that was their mistake. To be perfectly honest, the xbox 360 isnt that much of a JUMP over the xbox, nothing near calling next gen, and for the RECORD I OWN A XBOX not a ps2.. Im sure ps3 will have the same problem but then again, its not comming out next week is it?

When it all comes down to the wire, my computer will own this 360 3x over, thats where the "Next Gen" is..

ps1 to ps2 = OMG stunning worth every penny....

xbox over ps2 = bragging rights but ps2 had games hands down.

ps2 to ps3 = we dont know yet...

xbox to xbox 360 = 20% improvement = not worth 300.00 and FOR DAMN SURE NOT WORTH A 2000.00 DOLLAR TV INVESTMENT!

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
