RicH_87 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Samsung 32" LCD HDTV, I bought it december last year for £822 for the same reason as you, just so i could play my 360 the way it's supposed to be played. Its been f**king immense, the picture quality is amazing. I don't even really use my 360 anymore but i'm still so glad i bought it. Whenever i'm sat watching it i just think about how nice it is and how lucky i am to own it (i used to dream of owning a 32" tv becasue my mum and dad have never had anything over 24").Anyway Olly, if you haven't already, i FULLY recommend you buy the official VGA cable for xbox (if your tv has vga input of course). People say the difference isn't noticable between VGA and Component, but imo i really really is. The extra £20 or whatever is well worth it, seeing as though you are spending over a grand on the tv.I stress you get the official one, as my brother has an aftermarket vga cable and it's no where near as nice as mine.Anyway, nice tv, you're lucky to get a sony, they are easily still the leaders for picture quality.

The only downside is its a bit thicker...Yea I've been playing Pro Evo 5 on my managers 50" Sony HD Rear Projection TV its pretty beasty but no way in hell would fit in my room its bigger than all of my 3 windows put together! lolGet a picture up though I'd like to see it Olly.

RicH_87 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 Do you know if the 360 outputs DVD's really well through the VGA or HD cables in comparrason to normal DVD players?component cables are ok so you'll be happy enough, just my brother forced me into getting vga and i have to say i did notice the difference. shame there are NO decent games AT ALL to enjoy with it.anyway, as for the dvds, i don't watch many really, so i can't coment as an expert or anything. I did watch kiss kiss, bang bang the other day and Sin city and they both looked amazing, espcially sin city, there was no weird pixilation or anything. I've never run a standard dvd player through it but i would expect it too look a bit messed up if you were sat really near. Put it this way, running dvds through xbox using any form of hd cable will certainly be better than using a standard dvd player and a scart cable.One thing i have noticed is that with a few dvds, they don't get scaled up to widescreen, they are shown in regular 4:3 with two massive black areas either side.
