The RGB Master Class is a show that focuses on bringing the best out of classic video games on modern displays. In season 3 episode 1, RGB301 :: HDTV and Framemeister Settings - Get the Best Quality Out of Your HDTV, the show's host, Bob, delves into the intricacies of getting the best quality out of your High-Definition Television (HDTV) and Framemeister.
The episode begins with a quick introduction on the importance of calibration when it comes to getting the best image quality on your HDTV. Bob then proceeds to show the audience how to properly calibrate their HDTVs. He starts by using Spears & Munsil, a calibration suite, to adjust the brightness, contrast, and color temperature settings of the HDTV.
Bob then moves on to talk about the importance of image scaling and how it affects the image quality. He explains how older consoles output a maximum resolution of 240p or 480i, and how modern HDTVs have a much higher native resolution. This discrepancy can cause the image to look blurry or stretched, but Bob has a solution: the Framemeister.
Bob explains that the Framemeister is a device that is designed to scale the image of older consoles to match the native resolution of modern displays, resulting in a much crisper and cleaner image. He then demonstrates how to set up the Framemeister with an older console, showing step by step instructions and explaining some of the different options available on the device.
With the Framemeister set up, Bob goes into even more detail on how to adjust the settings to get the perfect image quality. He focuses on the importance of adjusting the sharpness and noise reduction settings, as well as how to properly enable or disable the scanlines to create a more authentic retro gaming feel.
Throughout the episode, Bob provides handy tips and tricks for getting the best image quality possible out of your classic games. He even demonstrates how to adjust the overscan on the HDTV to make sure no parts of the image are hidden, something that many modern HDTVs overscan by default.
Overall, RGB301 :: HDTV and Framemeister Settings - Get the Best Quality Out of Your HDTV is a must-watch episode for anyone looking to get the most out of their classic console gaming experience. With Bob's expert guidance, viewers will be able to calibrate their HDTVs and set up their Framemeisters with ease, resulting in a much cleaner and crisper gaming experience.
