HDTV and 360

[Minto]

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 . But that will change during spring break...

are u going to kill your mom&dad lol

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.

Ya its amazing when you hook compare HD and SD. I play mine on my monitor so I can get HD.

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

with the 360's component cable you can use it with either HD or SD, just a little switch and depending on which cable ends you plug in.

very clever idea i thought.

and back to original topic, 360 in HD is sweet, nice to have another fan

yea when i hooked my 360 up to my 56inch HDTV, i was blown away by GoW's graphics. the diffrence is AMAZING

agreed! i was amazed as to how good the game looked on my hdtv compared to the 32' in my bedroom, but ya GoW is just a amazingly nice game for the 360

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.

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.

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
