No you might have to buy a new TV, that one simply won't do.

Unless it states in the owners handbook that it supports high definition input for example 720p or 1080i as with the 360 then all you will get is the normal 480 standard definition. Check your manual or the manufacturer's website.

That's funny, although I denote a little jealously in that as well (I'm with ya).

Okay folks, your TV, regardless of wahtever you own, will look good with the Xbox 360. It's like upgrading the GPU in your PC (Xbox 360 > Xbox), it's gonna look better. Now if you really want to be impressed, HDTV is the way to go. Granted, this may not be an easy expenditure for most of us, but that is the best way to get the "wow" factor while gaming on a TV. The good news is that HDTV is becoming more cheap every month.

And for the US citizens, HDTV will be the standard (all units sold will be HDTV) by Jan. 2008 by FCC sanctions. So you will only have that option available soon. Your parents will be obligated to buy one, in other words. If you buy your own TV's, more power to you.

I honestly would go for size rather than HD, for example i would rather play X360 on a 32" standard TV than a 17" computer monitor. Although I would prefer to play on a 60" Plasma.... mmmmm

are all pc monitors hd?

Joergen · 03-09-2005, 05:08 PM

No, only certain LCD's

Nollio · 03-09-2005, 05:09 PM

don't they have these models in smaller sizes. I'm not a millionaire.

I'm hoping to convince my Mom that an HDTV is a big deal and that we need one (I have an old crappy 27" Samsung). I'm aiming to try to pick up a cheap one for like $300-$400 that has 16:9.

However, I'm waiting for Black Friday because HDTV prices are going to be rock-bottom that day.

This is gonna suck i got a 42'' plasma HD, but cant play my Xbox on it because it burns the screen so I have to play on my suck *** JVC 20'' tv.

They make a 23" model too. But in Denmark, the 26" model is actually cheaper and then it also has HDMI. Think it is some kind of a special offer

But you could buy another HDTV (brand) There are actually a few cheap ones out there! Just look for a HDTV ready screen, with a low response time and component output (thogh HDMI and DVI is better!)

how much did it cost you, in danske kroner, it would be easier for me to calculate since i'm norwegian, and th prices are probably pretty similar.
