My family just got a 47 inch LCD 1080p Philips TV. Will xbox 360 games look good on it? Will they be nice and crisp or blurry and stretched? I don't know much about TV's so I would really appreciate it if someone would help me out. I've heard that 360 games only look good on HDTVs and we finally got one but it's 1080p so I need to know it that will effect it or if I need to get some other cable.
Thanks!

Yes they look GREAT in HD.
There is 2 ways to get that 1080p to look great.
HDMI: HDMI cables are perfect with great picture. But insanely overpriced. You can find an HDMI cable in Best Buy for 129.99. And find one just as good for 1.99 online. It's a big scam to pay more than 20$ for an HDMI cable. BUT Only newer Xbox versions have a place with an HDMI hookup. Look in the back of the system and under the adapter hook up there should be a small slot for an HDMI cable. If not you must have an older Xbox 360. And must use the Component HD.
Component HD: What kind of Xbox 360 did you get? The one for 199.99 the (Arcade Xbox 360), the one for 299 (Standard Xbox 360) or the 399.99 (The Xbox Elite)
If you got the 299.99 (Xbox Standard) then it comes with a Component HD hook up (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow, White and Red) The Blue, Green, Red, White, and Red Will make up the 1080p HD components leave the yellow one out that one is for standard picture.
If you got the 399.99 (Xbox Elite) it already comes with an HDMI and HDMI slot in the back no matter what so your all set there.
But if you got the 299.99 (Xbox Arcade) then you don't have either. And must either buy an HDMI or Component HD cable.
Xbox compatible Component HD prices may vary. 20-50$ your choice.
Dont FORGET: There is a switch on the back of component HD to switch from standard picture to HD. Make sure to switch it to HD.
Summary: Both HDMI and Component HD look EXTREMELY good and almost the same. But some may say that HDMI looks slightly better and I would agree.
AND MOST OF ALL: When you get HDMI or Component HD MAKE SURE YOU ADJUST THE SETTING ON THE XBOX 360. GO TO SYSTEM SETTINGS AND UNDER THE DISPLAY SETTINGS CHANGE IT TO 1080p and perhaps widescreen.

What will a 1080p 120mhz Lcd tv look like with analog cable?

I need a new tv. There are no more tube tv's for sale anywhere. I went to Best Buy to get an LCD but they said it won't look any good with analog cable which is all I have and can afford right now. I know the picture won't look as good, but it would have to be as decent as a regular tube tv, right?
Answer
absolutely, your new lcd tv is equipped to give you the best picture no matter what you hook up to it. tube tvs are almost extinct. my guess is best buy wants to sell you something else. go with ur gut feeling i did a year ago before the digital tv signal came out and i used my regular antenna back then and my tv worked flawlessly and the picture was great. it may not be what every one out there is selling (HD) but i am sure regular cable should work for you. i hope this helps
