720p setting 50Hz

Hi,

How on earth do I set 720p to 50Hz?

plug it in via scart first, change to 50Hz, then switch back to HD?

just a thought though

The same way you would set it to 60Hz by using the normal Scart connection then switching back to HiDef.

On the 360?

If your using the component cable, try flicking the switch on it to normal mode, then go into the display options and set it to PAL50 or whatever its called. No need to use a different lead.

Turn 360 off then switch back to HD.

Why would you need to do this by the way?

why is pal50 better than pal60 at 720?

Erm what exactly does PAL do when playing on HD? I think you will find that PAL 50/60 are redundant when you switch to HD.

Some games (on the 360 at least) have funny issues if the console itself it not set to 50/60Hz, even when playing in HD.

Shouldnt affect it I agree, but it does in some way.

It's a fault of the programmers, since in HD, the 360 runs at 60hz.

Well I'm using the 360 as an media extender and because the signal its trying to show is 50Hz I'm getting ghosting.
