37" 1080p Sharp Aquos
Cost me ~$1400
-
Holy shit, 30000 gamerpoints? :O
-
great purchase, how do you like the picture quality so far?
and yeah, God, look at all those hours wasted on obtaining some lousy achievements
do you have a VGA cable for this?
-
Rob is sending me a calibration disc for me to tweak with, I just set it up
No VGA, I dont think this TV has VGA
-
apparently you can use a 1080p signal over component with this
-
That's what the Dashboard is set at right now
-
good choice, i love my aquos.
-
Demi: Have you seen your games on HDTV before? The jump is pretty awesome if you havent.
-
Yea, first thing I did was fire up DiRT demo, and beat my dick furiously
Then I was like oh shit I gotta actually do some work
-
looks nice man...I want than ambi-light feature sooooo sooo bad.

I was unimpressed with ambi-light instore. My Samsung 42" is pretty hot. The first time you fire up an XBox on it you understand all these rich distinguished mentally-challenged fellows on GAF going "HD OR DONT BOTHER LOL"
-
Demi: haha when I got my hdtv I just sat there putting games on my x360 for a few minutes, pulling them out, putting in another game that went on till I was through my library.
-
I thought this thread would've been about you picking up Overlord. An HDTV is nice, too. :D
-
I am getting Overlord after work, and stopping at TRU

I have one of the newer Samsung 40" LCD's that has 2 HDMI ports and 1080p.
I kinda agree...none of the next gen stuff is formatted for SDTV...

Overlord is out in the US?
-
PGR3 looks better on SDTVs IMO
-
I just bought PacMan CE like I SAID, Groo
Now I'm stuck with 200 points that I CANT EVEN FUCKING USE
Jerk

Awesome Demi! The leap from SDTV to HDTV really is huge. My little 20 inch Bravia only goes up to 1080i (I usually use everything in 720p), but it's amazing.

:lol Me too. My friend came over to check out my TV when I first got it last year, and ended up buying an Xbox 360 because of it...he was completely blown away by Oblivion.
Some 360 games do look better through VGA (the most notable being Samurai Warriors 2- holy crap does it look super CLEAN!), but I prefer the 360 with component cables.
-
demi, take pics of dirt playing on your tv
-
How would I hook that up, the X360 doesn't have HDMI?
-
with the VGA dashboard update, VGA out on the 360 is superior to component in every single way
-
I thought we were SD bois :(

I dunno; there's just something about VGA on a lot games that doesn't look as good as component does to me. The colors are far improved with the dashboard update, but still not as colorful as component, and I noticed what almost seemed like mild ghosting on certain games. Maybe it's just me.

Im part of the 56" rear projection TV posse. Its a shitty crew
-
dudes i've ben playing SDTV for the past 30000 gamerscore, do you really think i'm a stickler when it comes to VGA vs. Component?
i spent the rest of the day toying with various games, trying out games that look gorgeous, like DiRT, Eternal Sonata, uhhh and others. just wow. 360 makes my dick hard. i can't wait for Blue Dragon.
-
Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead are, but I'm not sure I'm gonna get the player right away. Maybe if it's on clearance somehow.
