/vr/ - Retro Games

So, i picked up a set of component cables my wii the other day. Hooked it up to my 32 wega and it looks fantasic, running all kinds of emulators.

I decided to try setting this one emulator to output in 480p instead of 480i, and the screen freaked out like i expected. Was just testing if for no real reason. Though when i turned the tv off i noticed there was a lot more static than usual, and a heavier crackling sound in the back.

Now i feel like it isn't as sharp. The pixels in games seem to bleed a tiny bit more than they did beforehand. I was wondering could this have damaged my tv? or am i just overthinking this and there probably was no change.
