for hd you need to plug the red, green, and blue into the coresponding colors for "component in" then the other three are the red/white audio, plug into whatever you run ur sound through and the yellow is the composite video which you dont need to plug in. hope it helped

^^^ whats better for my xbox 360

lcd's are hdtv's. what you mean to ask. is what type of hdtv is best, Plasma,LCD or Tube.

Go with tube or lcd. Plasma may suffer from screen burn.
Tubes are cheaper than lcds. You have a better viewing angle with a tube.

DimitriC2982 · 20-12-2005, 06:44 PM

oh yeah my bad thats what i meant thanks for the response

360rulz · 20-12-2005, 09:29 PM

depneds. i think tubes are fat(like a reg tv right?), while you could hang your lcd on your cieling and play in bed

but a 45 inch lcd will run you $10G

From everything I have read, Each has its Advantages/Disadvantages. CRT's are great but weigh a ton. LCD's deliver great colors, but due to response time issues with most LCD's, I've read that they tend to have some blurring especially when playing video games. Plasmas definitely have the best colors, but they tend to suffer from burn in. Although some of the newer more expensive plasmas have constant cycling pixels that help to prevent burn in. I have also heard that plasmas also have a degauss (sp?) feature that allows you to remove burn in, but it takes like 12 - 24 hrs for the process to run. Do a search on google for comparison of LCD vs Plasma vs CRT and you can find a lot of great info to read over. Hope this helps.

Just a little hit on the plasma part. Plasmas cannot produce a true black. They are brighter due to the way they work, but connot produce true black. and with some they recommend a 500 hour break in time before you play any video games. Lcd's arent bad and you were right. As for CRT's, samsung came out with a slim fit TV, its pretty nice. CRT's also give you the best picture possible out of any TVs. Its all about personal taste brother.

500 hours break in

thats something new to me. hell at 5 hrs a day thats 100 days before you could play. screw that.

DeathDealer · 26-12-2005, 07:35 AM

Ok so i got a HDTV monitor for christmas and i plugged in the wires like the hand book says and i get sound but no picture? i look in the book and it tells me to look at the page that tells me to look in the back of the book were i am! i switch that little thing to hdtv my system turns off. i put it to 720p and my system loses picture, i dont understand arghh!! help please.

Redshirt013 · 26-12-2005, 07:52 AM

Did you turn the box off before making the switch? And make sure you read the manual to your monitor as well...

Zrolimit · 26-12-2005, 03:49 PM

Make sure your HDTV supports 720p. I have a 53" Panasonic HDTV and it only supports resolutions in: 480i, 480p and 1080i. If I switch to 720p on my XBOX, the screen will go black and all I get is sound as well. This seems to be your problem, but in the chance that it's not you might want to check your TV settings to make sure it does not have an option to switch it from it's native mode (whatever that maybe) to a higher or lower resolution.
