Will Xbox 360 look good on 47 inch LCD 1080p TV?

AdamW

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!

Answer
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?

thornton

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

Should i buy a gaming PC or a 1080P LCD TV?

Justin S

I havent been able to decide since today. I want both, but i only have enough money for one, but not the other.

I want a new gaming PC, because i enjoy playing my games on PC, but since theres only 1 PC and 3 people in the house, it is a nightmare to try and use it. My bro is constantly on there if he cant play his xbox.

But i want a LCD TV, because i've only got this really lame 14 inch in my room. No HD, its the CRT ones. It sucks for movies too.

The PC's i can find that meet my specs, they cost around £699-£999.

For the TV'S that meet my specs, i can find them for about £499-£899.

I can only buy one, but which would you choose?
in America, £499 - £899 would be about $899 - $1499

Answer
buy the pc, stick it in your bedroom, buy an additional hard drive and a tv card. put them both in your pc. you now have a pc with tv capabilities and games all in one in your room. then later on you can get a 21inch lcd hd ready tv/monitor and watch hd tv free on your pc along with play games in nice hd!!

How can I get my RCA 42" LCD TV to turn back on?

lcd tv 1080p image

Patricia M

I have an RCA 42" LCD TV 1080P. I moved it a little to clean in back of it. All of a sudden it just shut off. I tried to put it back on and nothing. I checked all the cables. Unplugged the power and the cable box as well then plugged everything back in and the TV still will not turn on. I looked in the user's manual and nothing. Please Help! Thanks.
My surge protector is on. I have my cable box in it as well. I even tried plugging the TV right into the wall and nothing.

Answer
You said your surge protector is on. Are you sure it is ON?. If it is, OK, so far so good. You do not have look for the blown fuse for the powersupply. But on the other hand, according to your description above, it seems to me power supply ciuit is defective. Usuall I find that when I check it, power switching transistor is found to be open or malfuntioning(Or short). It has to be fixed by the good engineer or technician. If you warrant card valid and you have not tampered any seal of the TV, the the Company will be glad to service it for free. Anyhow, I think, better contact the company.Thank you.

I have connected my laptop to my new 40" LCD TV and the resolution is off by a lot. How do I change this?

Great Teac

Operating on Windows XP

- Laptop resolution is 1680p x 1050p
- LCD TV is 1080p

The 'Settings' tab in the 'Display Properties' only allows my TV monitor to reach 1024 x 768. Is there a way to configure this to reach maximum potential?

Answer
you need the latest drivers for you graphics

you need to set up as dual display
select extend my desktop
you should then be able to adjust the 40" to 1920 x 1080
even if it is a poor card
my old me system with inboard graphics supports 1360 x 768

why is the DVD quality so crappy on my lcd tv?

lcd tv 1080p image

Alex R

i recently bought a sharp aquos 46" lcd tv, 1080p and when i watch HD channels the quality is great, but when i watch dvds the quality is nothing short of bad! i don't know why the picture quality is so bad on the dvds, and i don't know how to fix this, what do you think i should do and why is this happening?

Answer
DVDs are in standard definition. Obviously the high definition programming would provide you with a more enjoyable viewing experience. If you would like your dvds to look better I would purchase an upconverting dvd player. You can usually get one for about $60-$100. Make sure you hook that dvd player up with an HDMI cable, because that is the only way it will upconvert.

On the other hand you could buy a Blu-ray player for $400 and that will upconvert your standard dvds as well as play Blu-rays in 1080p.
