I got a 26" HDTV by Acer from Misco for £530. No composite input, so you'll need a VGA cable, but for the price the picture is incredible. The High-Res modes of 360 work wonderfully and it's pin-sharp. I can't knock it at all.

16th now is it?

That's going to piss off a lot of people.

Yeh, if it's not HDTV Ready, you'd need a transformer thing to watch HD TV through it. 360 doesn't need one of these, though.

Ok, i definately can get a 23'' Samsung LCD.

 

Anyone know a place where i can buy one first thing tomorrow for £500 or less and it's in stock?

 

Really need your help! I have found quite a few places but i have never heard or used them before, i would like a well-known place.

 

Play.com would of been my best bet, but they are still awaiting stock...

 

I never knew these damn tv were so popular! :indeed:

The difference between HD ready and HDTV ready is that to be HDTV ready a TV must contain a digital connect (hdmi, dvi) and HDCP. HDCP is a type of protection that communicates with the source equipment to stop piracy.

I just got 438,635 on Geometry Wars, I was so close to that shitty half million medal.

 

Screw the other games on the 360, i'm hopelessly addicted to this.

I'm screwed, i suck at Hexic and Kameo A rankings are bloody impossible. I'll be working towards getting those final few fruits during the week though!

 

Gotta get to 800 or so before Ridge Racer 6/DoA4 will be out.

No worries, you've still got a week and a half before RR6, and almost a month and a half before DoA4.

I thought DoA was out the same day as RR6? O_o

Right, also would it be best to use a VGA cable or is the HD cable which comes with your Xbox360 better, in your opinion? I didn't even know about the VGA cable before Meik mentioned it, can the 23'' Samsung use this?

 

The 'response time' of the tv is important as well isn't it? One Samsung 23'' i saw had a response time of <12ms is that good?

 

I'm SO SO confused! I know i have to set the tv/xbox360 at 720p to get the best pic, i don't know which cable is best to use, although the VGA is sold out everywhere isn't it?

 

Meik was that you who posted a pic of there Samsung earlier in this thread or someone else?

 

I don't want to spend £500 and not notice any difference in picture, it's pretty worrying! I don't want to be dissapointed.

Decided I'm going to sell cod2 once i've finished the game (1000 gamerpoints)... can't be arsed to wait for the multiplayer and I doubt i'd play it as much as PD0 and pgr3..

It doesnt really matter if you use VGA or the ones that come with the 360, both are analogue connections and are pretty similar. The response time is also ok, not the best but you shouldnt get any ghosting.

I've heard issues of ghosting with the Joytech cables. I have a Joytech component lead, and on the 7thingy setting there is a slight ghostly hue to the image that annoys me. On 1080i there's no problem though, so I use that.

 

I think ghosting occurs due to the cable, as a third party one will never be quite as good as the official. I was lucky to find a third party one, so I'm happy.

 

 

Owen, on a Samsung note - all the sets are brilliant from what I've seen. The image on games is stunning, especially the Xbox 360, and you're not going to be unhappy with what you get here. Only issue with mine is RGB 60hz on GameCube, which looks a bit cack (possibly due to my broken cable?). I have the 32 inch Samsung with freeview and I'm just so damned pleased with it.

 

Superb set.

 

 

[EDIT]

 

I'm referring to Ghosting as a slight double image. I'm aware ghosting can also mean blurring, like car lights in EA games. But I have no problems with that either, so it's a green light on television raceway.
