Hi, just get myself one 42inch panasonic Full HD LCD from SenQ, having raya promotion. I am looking forward for the Full HD experience on the XBOX 360, but strangely enough when i change the display to 1080p, the TV do detect the signal as 1080P/60 HZ but the screen start to flicker and have artifacts running thru the screen, the mode setting like 720P, 1080i was ok . Anyone encounter this type of problem? Is it i am bad luck to get an faulty panny on the first day ? Kind Sifu and sifuess, please kindly advice

What cable did you use to connect your console to TV?

Your HDMI cable does not support 1080p signal. I've encountered the same situation before. Try swapping your HDMI cable to test.

Hi, thanks for replying :-)..never though of problem is from the HDMI cable? i bought 2 HDMI cable from Carefour.. One long and one short, the long one is causing the problem, the short one works perfectly. The graphic is really kick ass, panny provide a superb tv :-)...U guys are great..good hellp :-) thank you very much ( btw, what brand of cable do u guys use? monster cable ? does expensive cable really make different in quality ? )

hmm. never had any problem even with a $10 hdmi cable. whats your dashboard version

if long one (>3meter) you need a better quality one, due to the risk of digital drop-outs

if less than 3m, any RM10 HDMI cable will do just nice

btw... samsk, we are all still waiting for your review of your MONSTER HDMI cable, do show us the BIG difference between the cheapo cable and your expensive MONSTER HDMI cable

I think i know wat happen, it seems happen same thing on my Sony LCD TV wen i plug in to my PC, having some weird issue of refresh rate.

I fix it with updating my TV firmware, via USB. Try google for your TV model firmware and update it.

Mine was updating the HDMI version.. and it fix the problem. You may buying an old stock from senQ, so it may not be updated with latest firmware.

It's scary that we've come to a point where we need to update the TV's firmware!

But anyway, yes.. there have been MULTIPLE versions of the HDMI cable, and I do believe the cheapo brands usually don't say what version they are. So it's likely you've gotten a mismatched version cable. Oh.. here's something that tries to explain it... half of it I dont understand though.

Hi, thanks for all the opinion. I have check the box of the HDMI, nothing is written on the box which version of HDMI cable. My last update xbox firmware is the one which enable USB storage, i haven't bought any game since then. Hear of the new dash board which enable kinect function will cause some old game to cease function and need to replace xbox with microsoft, don't dare to update it

u sure??
my one got no problem meh.. still can play all the games, both new & old

You tried samsk version already?

lol use monster HDMI , i use it on 32'' aquos ,very gooding yo

Isn't that a bit like spending on some super expensive sports rims for a kancil?

(I'm sure someone else can come up with a better metaphor)

How about tinting your convertible car's windows?

wat?? monster cable on a 32"? wat a waste...

reality check: human eye wont be able to detect differences between fullHD (1080) or HDready(720) tv on a small screen... its a fact..
unless u seat 1" from the screen la...but who does??

thats just u

is true about 1080-720 no different in small in in term of movie

but this is games section, i damm clear can see the big different 1080p games on my PC between xbox 720p games...

a game designed for 1080p of cos got big differences with games that are designed to support 720p only...
i'm talking bout the same source/game played on a 32" 1080 or 720 tv...
the screen is too small to be noticeable.. i'm not saying there's no difference...
i'm saying human eyes wont be able to detect it... unless u sit really, really, really close.. and again i ask, who would seat 'that' close?
tak sayang mata ke?

Interesting, what is SAMSK version? weird abbreviation

get the monster cable you wont regret it. I am also using it on my lg 32inch so called full hd. Between the cheapo cable and monster cable difference that i encounter is better framerate. Especially playing eternal sonata you know how gay are the graphic eveything do a big combo sure my xbox hang awhile but with monster its as smooth as tofu then. Color also enchance and much more detailed for graphic wise. You will also notice alot of glowing effect damn chun.

The difference is, when you play a pc game, you're stuck sitting upright or even hunched gripping a mouse with one hand and wasd in the other hand stretching to reach some uncomfortable weapon change key or something, maybe 60-90 cm from the screen. This is a very stressful situation. Of course you'll notice that the game you're playing has those awful jaggy lines.

Now gaming on a 50" 6-7 ft away, being at one with a comfortable sofa, hands on a controller with every button easy to reach, you're far more chllaxed. Sure you notice jaggies, maybe the textures are a bit low res - but you don't care because you're just too busy chilling on your sofa and enjoying the game you're playing. I mean the bigger the screen, the more obvious the jaggies and textures are supposed to be right? Wrong, because you're to busy chilling.

Monster cable, it does everything without you knowing

Well when playing with cheapo cable i feel like the game not smooth but after changing gaming is so smooth i think that should have something to do with framerate rite??t

monster cables are truely good cables belum cuba belum tahu lepas cuba hari hari mau. whats a placebo??

Your quote has been used for evil

LOL
not again...
another one thinking expensive HDMI cable will improve framerate



placebo effect:
you think you're ill, but doc didn't think so, so doc just prescribe you a normal vitamin pill tricking you it's medication
you feel better after taking the "medication" while in actual fact it has nothing to do with the illness, it's just all psychology.

i see so that a placebo

Before that have you tried monster cable in the first place?? if yes then ok I have a PLACEBO

yes, I have tried my fren's monster cable and my cheapo RM15 cable

i curi-curi swap my friend's monster cable with my RM15 cable, and he's still bragging his monster cable gave him superior, better graphic
you should see his face when I show him what cable it is behind the TV

I lost count how many times I've repeat this, HDMI is digital, consist of 1s and 0s, either it work or doesn't work, that all. There's no middle ground like better or worst. Period

Ohhh SHIT I have a PLACEBO !!! well mine different case my friend came over to my place and play he is like weird how come the graphic is different soo i don't know rather trust ppl eyes then trusting my own eyes

user review from amazon:

lol mcm siod je

true.. but dont forget, this 0's and 1's might get dropped along the way due to some factors...
with monster cables, they claim that their cables can send these signals with minimum loss....
true to some extend, but can our eyes really detects the small differences, let alone on a small 32" screen? that is the real question here...

which is why, IMHO a monster cables is always a waste of money to spend on, unless you have a really 2X big screen ..
and if u can afford a rm30K-50K 3D TV, would you still use a rm15 HDMI cables?? i know I wont.....

Actually it's not minimal signal loss, either you loss all or nothing. Signal loss normally only applicable to analog signals.

Yes... Our eyes served us the best...

Added on July 8, 2011, 11:22 amYes... Few thousand ringgit TV,original games but use cheapskate HDMI cable...

where's your monster cable review and comparison?

Told you already.. My TV is HD Ready.. Different a bit only...
If FHD, can see the different a lot.. My friend are using the same cable that we purchase from www.cable4hd.com..
His TV is FHD and mine is only HDR... So cant review on that cable much... Just the framerate are smoother than RM 25.00 cable.. Thats all.Graphic and TV dots,still need to use FHD only can notice the differents.. Wait for get Smart TV... Getting it few more months... Then review to you.. Dont worry..
If you are eager to get one, you may try it yourself.. I believe that you do have FHD TV.. Then you will notice the different.

so that why i notice the difference because i am in the FHD.

are we talking about the game reso or how comfortable sofa is??? XD

btw the post u quote actually missing a TV word instead of "in" word
i was refering to small TV like 32" or lower

Added on July 8, 2011, 2:31 pmu didnt read the 1st page arent you?

Added on July 8, 2011, 2:38 pmyeah, i`m using 32" tv as my PC monitor and console use. Sit far far make me fell like i missing something in the game
so i sit close, memang i will notice the HUGE diferent between my PC game which runnign on 1080p and xbox on 720p...

i just hate those jagged line, well, i know that all xbox game are mostly 720p so memang wont see any different on 720p and 1080p on same size tv. arent that common knowledge? also i said mostly xbox games are 720p, i didnt mean all, so what about those game really runnign on 1080p?

I use some cheap locally made HDMI cable on my small screen. Ok only.

You guys argue like kids.
Remember, this is not a PS3 section.

hahaha...

aha.. kalau nak sembang pegi masuk thred ps3

Haiyo... Just play the game... Dont care what other people said...
As long our eyes and our pocket is comfortable, thats fine....

woitt sam.. ko dok mana? jom minum2...

Kat penang la,bro... Kalau i ada turun kl, i pm you.. jom kita minum.. dan layan game kat SS2.. Kedai game yang ternama tu....
Boleh main game sambil duduk di sofa... Kedai game yang masuk GameAxis magazine..

you didn't read the previous post arent you?
my comments arent for TS

how can you compare xbox graphic with PC graphic? It's like comparing orange to apple la
of cos you'll see major diff between them as PC is definitely superior, even if it's the same game for PC and Xbox
