BigV Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Just wanted you guys to know that If you have a LCD at home thats capable of performing HD and don't have any other HDTV at home, use it! It's going to be a much more enjoyable experience. Today, I bought the VGA Adapter for the 360, and when I fired up one of my games, I noticed nearly a 3x graphics increase! I have a 22" 226bw samsung (widescreen). That is all Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/332279-hdtv-tv/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
luger Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm pretty sure 99% of the human population knows a HIGH DEFINITION picture is going to be superior to a STANDARD DEFINITION picture.

BigV Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 I'm just recommending. I didn't even know my LCD would have such amazing graphics compared to my regular non-HDTV. It's great! Saved me over 1k for a HDTV just for GTA: IV. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/332279-hdtv-tv/?do=findComment&comment=1057913777 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own this monitor too and play 360 on it - it is very nice but don't be fooled, nothing beats a true HDTV for consoles - yeah monitors are higher res, but when you use it on the monitor first thing you will notice is out the colours look a lot more washed out - this isnt a fault or anything, its just the way monitors are vs TV sets which are tuned for more colour saturation.... its the same probs will all monitors - probably the best monitor Ive ever seen using 360/VGA are the higher end dell..... make no mistake, this samsung monitor is excellent, but a hdtv set kicks ass Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/332279-hdtv-tv/?do=findComment&comment=1057914056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiozo Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 going to play it on a late 80's toshiba TV. not going to say it's crap though, because it isn't. just because technology advanced, doesn't mean SDTV's are crap. games just look better on HDTV. i just hope there are no text problems in the PS3 version on SDTV.

BigV Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 The point of this thread is to tell people to use their LCD for high definition instead of their TV as some people (such as me) didn't know that they could do this until today......Think a bit.

I got a buddy for that to help me out. For sound, my sound is coming from my television, and blends in nicely. My LCD and my TV are next to each other. About DVI, I am not 100% sure.

phs1234 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Do half the people posting crap in here even know what the OP is talking about? He's not talking about buying a HDTV because it's better than SD, he's saying to save money if you haven't bought the HDTV and to buy a cord that can be hooked up to a PC monitor, which is HD.

The Juice Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I was just going to use my PC monitor (19" LCD @ 1280x1024) but last weekend I walked past a 32" HD LCD in Tesco and was like "Hmmm". Damn impulse buying. The 360 looks awesome on it though. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/332279-hdtv-tv/?do=findComment&comment=1057914613 Share on other sites More sharing options...
the b33f Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 22"? That's all? I want to get a 32" TV but not sure if I can afford it yet. I was looking at the Vizio Brand TV's anyone have one or heard anything about them? I have a vizio 32 inch bought in sept. Its been a great tv. I drive home from school and take it with me in the back of my truck and nothings happened so thats cool. The picture is great for the price. Obv a LG has a little better quality but for 650 the 32' by vizio is a great choice. price might have gone down by now Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/332279-hdtv-tv/?do=findComment&comment=1057914668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azndvl Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) 37 inch i would never get anything over 42 inchs tho the inmage gets distorted Bull, the images dont get distorted in any way.. Its the same amount of pixels. If anything, maybe the bigger screens allow more flaws to show through. Im on a Toshiba 42" 1080p LCD (42RV530U) . Paid around $1,400 for it since i decided to go for the 5yr warranty. TBH id never settle for one of the cheap bargain brands. If im gonna pay money for a product, might as well pay a lil more and get a name brand (Samsung, Sony, Sharp, Toshiba, etc) which will undoubtedly have superior picture.

Rambone2007 Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I have a Samsung 46" 1080p LCD. I can't wait to play GTA4 on it. Those leaked videos don't do the game justice.
