I'm trying to figure out why the visuals with my 360 have a tendency to look excellent in some ways/places, and almost "smudged" in others, as well as why there is such horrible aliasing, shimmering, draw-distance issues and major pop-in. Also, some textures look terrible at times, such as on cars, people or buildings (looks "smudged"), while at other times, it looks extremely detailed.
HD switch is set on the 360 cable and I'm using HDMI out into a Samsung 34" which looks otherwise astounding.
In ways/places, it blows away the old 30" CRT my wife and I had until recently, being sharper and more detailed, but with the issues mentioned above, I'm not sure if it's just the game and/or the size of the picture and the 360 not rendering fast enough for a screen that size regarding the pop-in. If I'm driving fast enough, there will eventually be no cars in front of me at times, and/or sometimes the road texture completely disappears.
The other issues such as aliasing, shimmering etc. are pretty predominant in a lot of places, as well as some textures looking worse than on CRT, while in other places the game looks incredible and textures look better on this LCD TV.
Is it just the 360 on a screen that large, and/or the game?
With upcoming titles such as Red Faction: Guerrilla, would we see the same sort of lag and/or lack of detail, aliasing, shimmering etc. if the 360 cant "keep up"? Been looking forward to RF:G, but am concerned that, more than it does, things should be looking better all around, even if there were a little lag or pop-in.
Ideas/suggestions?
