I havent had a scaling issue, but does the 1080i mode show up real grainy on other ppl's tv's? It's kinda annoying and I'm trying to figure out a way to smooth it out. Any suggestions?

[EDIT] I have a 52'' RCA widescreen projection TV

I am having that same problem, along with the ghost car looking like it was chopped up in the rear view mirror. Trying to figure out how to fix this issue.

That's just how a digital signal looks “grainy” especially on a digital set. I ran the component cables for a while with GT3 and it just wasn't worth it on my Samsung DLP.. Now with GT4 out I may buy another set of cables and try and run it 1080i again and just sit further back this time..

Another issue I had with the comp cables was that my set didn't get the signal until the game started.. Ex. Turn on the game and my Samsung DLP set would not see the signal from the PS2 until the game into started. Anyone else have similar issues?

And to clear something up, switching from one resolution to another will NOT hurt your set. 👍
 
this is what happens to my setup, when i switch to 480p or 1080i the picture gets messed up at the beginning of the race but smooths out later. im using an hdtv ready 26" dell lcd tv with the monster cable components. i will try the 1080i mode on my sony xbr 70" soon after i get a new set of cables. cant complain about it for now. i wonder if its my console cause its an old version. i wouldn't mind getting the slim one. i havent tried racing online with 1080i yet. im afraid it would lag. also the gt4 manual says that you have to switch to the 1080i or 480p mode manually after each restart of the ps2 console, it does not save the settings.
 
For some of us that play alot this will eventually hurt the tv.

This will not hurt your TV, it was designed to "adapt" to whatever resolution signal it was being fed on that HD input.

It's like saying your surround sound receiver's going to be hurt when a DVD switches from 2-ch to Dolby Digital going from the menu to the movie...it won't and neither will your TV.

The only thing one should be concerned about regarding video games and their TV is burn-in (depending on the type of set they have). This will hurt your TV a lot sooner and more than it's handling of the incoming signal will.
