[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 54169, member: 134"] No. It has an RGB port, like what computer monitors used to use. A long time back (talking PS2 days) I tried using an adapter from Japan to work through there, but no dice. Honestly though, what would it matter? The TV is simply incapable of rendering 720p or 1080p. Back then, 1080i was thought to be the way to go. One of the reasons the overscan is bad is there wasn't an agreed upon format yet for HD signals when the TV came out. So it used to be that I never noticed any of the image being clipped, because everyone was using a TV 'safe' framing. As flat panels killed the RPTV market, the outer boundaries got pushed and that's when I started noticing graphics and screen tickers being cut off. Sports were notorious for having their scores cut clean in half on the top or bottom of my screen. I never had an issue with video games on the PS2, but the PS3 gave me some rude awakenings. As much as I love the Grand Theft Auto series, I never was able to play GTA IV because the mission text was often clean off my screen. Currently with the new Playstation Store, I can't see the words at the top of the screen for Cart, Search, and whatever else it actually says! [/QUOTE]
