HDTV and 360

[ics]

I play my 360 on a 62 inch DLP in 1080p. I used to play it on a 32 inch standard def tv. What a difference.

What hardware do you use to do this? I've thought about it before but not sure how to go about it.

I just use the Xbox 360 VGA cable from Microsoft. I run it to a KVM switch so I can switch between my computer and my Xbox.

Why didn't you get the 32' one then sovieto? Too expensive with tax included or something? I can understand that. I just thought that since it was a difference of 50 that you would just get the bigger one anyways. And I'm lol at the thought of fwelr's parents and their spring break surprise.

couple reasons
A, i was wrong, it was a $50 difference when the site wasnt updated yet when the 27" dropped in price, its actually a $100-125 difference (prices varied from online and store)
B, i wanted to save money
C, my entertainment system couldnt hold something so big (the 27" fits perfectly as it is) if i were to get a new one to hold all my crap it would be $100-200
D, i sit close to my TV (3-4 feet away) so 32" would look not as good so close, and the 27" was reccomended for bedrooms

It sucks in my house, I have a 37" HD downstairs, and then my parents have a 32" wide screeen HD in their room. How does this suck? Because my dad stays downstairs and watches "his" TV all day, and my mom stays with "her" TV all day. I have 2 amazing TV's and can't play on either one :mad2:. But that will change during spring break...

How do they afford such great TVs if they just watch them all day?

they work for the gov, some kind of engineer, they can't tell me much. they don't watch them all day, they watch them when we're home, and consquently, im home when they're home. but not spring break....

God I really want a HDTV now, just the thought of playing Gears on one daaaayum.

I still got a SDTV, some things look blurry compared to HD videos I have seen on the net. Hopefully I can get a cheap HDTV soon, my first priority is getting xbox live.

I have a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV in the living room (HD component) and a 37" (non HD component) in the bedroom

my 360 has wireless adaptor so i sometimes play it on the non HD 37"

let me tell you its MUCH easier to play on the 42" HDTV... esp. GRAW2 you can see people miles away...
