Good topic. Interested to know the answer to this as well. Novice here.

And some buyer's guide pointers would be helpful too to maximise use with xbox360 e.g. input options (components, hdmi), panel resolution, etc.

Thanks in advance.

ive played on hdtv plasma's and hdtv lacd's
and i have to say lcd's are better looking smile.gif
they have a big advantage over plasma
but for serious gamers get a computer crt it gives faster light and sharpness too
and lcd might look thin and cool
but with a 4k comp,19" CRT,and an XBOX 360
it will be the BOMB laugh.gif

Nah.. Monitor will suck coz consoles is not designed to output to monitor. All those 3rd party VGA converter only gives sub-standard quality compared to a CRT HDTV. Furthermore, all monitors are 4:3...lagi not suitable for XBOX360.

If got budget, go for a good quality LCD/PLASMA with decent resolution. Most LCD is around 13xx x 7xx resolution max, but i guess it's good enough.

the 360 wont suck on a PC monitor coz it was designed with the capability to output to a monitor. the cable (be it original microsoft vga cable or 3rd party ones) is a direct cable from console to monitor, the console can generate vga signals internally, no monkey business of converting component/composite/etc to vga.

That statement only applies to PS2 and Xbox, not the Xbox360. Of coz there's a trade-off when u're using a 4:3 monitor to play Xbox360 games as most will be in 16:9 so there's black borders on the top n bottom. The image quality won't suck! Wait a minute, even most CRT HDTVs are 4:3 too, n u said they're better than PC monitors? doh.gif Have u even had any hands-on experience with the Xbox360? laugh.gif

Cool! Actually I kinda regretted getting the 40-inch one. Too big for my small-ish living room. Need to sit a bit further back for better view, but I can't move back any further. Should have just went for the 32-inch. But it seemed small in the showroom (I guess must be the effects of showrooms with screens plastered all over the wall and numbing your senses).

No need to regret, at least the screen is big right brows.gif but big 40-inch still running 1366 x 768... still better than plasma resolution biggrin.gif

Can for 1080i... most of the LCD TV available in Malaysia can support up to 1080i. For 1080p you may have to wait a bit longer or you can spend RM 32k+ now for Sony 1080p LCD projector smile.gif

I believe the newer lcd tvs are just as black to the ordinary untrained eyes, and not greyish like the older lcd tvs.

Purist will say it can never be as black as plasma's - granted. But it's black enough for me.
