Poll: 50hz, Does it bother you? (Europe, UK and Australian question)

[fenrizz]

Never had any problem, and still don't.

I've never really noticed either, as I've grown up with it.

Then why do all my TVs and Monitors have a 60Hz refresh?
I remember having 50 Hz back when I was using a Dreamcast...

You might not of had a Pal-60hz game.

When you do have a Pal-60 game, their should be a option on start up.

Do you want to display in 60hz mode Yes/No

But sometimes it's only available in the options menu, like Rayman 2 on the Dreamcast for example.

This thread would have made sense 10 years ago.

Some PAL games ran slower than the NTSC version; the framerate, not the refresh rate per se.
There's no difference nowadays. Who doesn't own a HD TV, but plays on a 360 or PS3?

There's one complaint left that applies to all regions and that's how come the majority of console devs still think 30 frames per second is enough?
The screenshots look pretty enough, but the shooters are sluggish and unresponsive.

Their has been some more recent examples of 50hz such as Madworld, and Persona 4.

Granted some people are not going to care anyway because of HD's and the newer consoles, but the only reason why I care is because i play old systems with a SD TV (which is really the only way to play them).

This debate only really applies to those people that are Pal gamers who game on a SD TV with old consoles (or have done in the past).

I like to play old games and have never been bothered about the speed difference. Having never played the ntsc versions.

CRT TVs released a couple years before the flatscreen completely took over, would accept PAL50, PAL60 and NTSC signals. Playing on a modern flatscreen there is no concearn at all.

Your problem is having the borked up PAL-only versions of certain old games.

The solution is getting the the US release of the old game and the US console. That or just ignore those bad ports of old games and move on.
