Default Will my X360 suck on my TV?

I have a say 3 to 3 1/2 year old 20 inch TV (not plasma, not HDTV). Will the 360 experience be any good, or will I really really need an update? Thanks.

It will be pretty good. You could use an update, only if u have the $$$. I just got an emerson 20" flatscreen, B4 i had heard of 360. But don't buy a TV unless it's HD.

I doubt you'll need to upgrade your TV, especially seeing as yours is ony 3 years old.

You should be okay. 3 year old TV's arn't bad at all. It's those ones in like 6 years and higher you should worry about.

An alternative would be to hook your 360 upto your pc monitor (which is HD). You'll need to buy a first party VGA Cable (sold seperately).

My current TV that I use with my xbox is the most **** TV I have seen. The real problem is that it won't break down causing my parents to buy a new one.

The graphics on the 360 will still be outstanding on any TV. There is still a obvious difference between xbox graphics and regular TV coverage - the 360 will just make that gap smaller.

If you have a HDTV it will look awesome but on a normal TV it still will look really good, I have a 5 - 6 year old 19" TV in my room and the graphics from the current Xbox look really good on it but when the Xbox 360 comes out I might eventually buy a 26" LCD TV so I can enjoy those awesome High Definition Graphics.

I have a 7-year-old 27" TV that works great with games.

However, I plan on purchasing a 26" LCD by Christmas.
