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
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

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.

You mean xbox or xbox360?? Xbox360 is showing just fine on monitor...

speaking of widescreen... does a sony 29" tv db29m61 supports 16:9 ???

how we know if computer's LCD are 4:3 or 16:9 ???

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? Have u even had any hands-on experience with the Xbox360?

Got myself this lcd tv in preparation for my xbox360 next week:

Comments anyone?

Hehe same model range i'm using now but in 32 inch for my bedroom

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).

wondering.... if the lcd tv resolution is 1366x768 , can it support 1080i or 1080p ?

PS3 is coming out with 1080p....

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




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

hahaha lcd looks damn neat with 360 or ps2,plasma can have burn in,but plasma black parts are darker,anyway lcd live ;longer

My Samsung TV

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.

yups exactly
but the new hitach ALis8 is gorgeous
i envy my dad and mom

they couldve put it in my room
360 on it is heaven
i always shift my 360 to thier room when thier not around ahhaha same goes to the pioneer plasma's

Anyone take a look at this? http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=254446

The 4203TW model is selling for RM5k, supports 1366 (H) x 768 (V).

hmmmmm... interesting... MK84 have you dealth with the seller before?

No, I just inquired about the 4203TW model. Haven't decided which to get yet. It's either that, the Panny PT-AE900 or Sony KF-E50A10 projection TV. Have to go around and test them first.

i'm skewed towards the projector... went to see it two weeks ago... placed a deposit liow... just waiting for the dude to confirm that he's got all the stuff i asked for (screen, soundproofing materials) blah blah blah and waiting for them to start work on the spare room and i'm set

How much did u get it all for? With Draper screen?

i was quoted rm 13,888 inclusive of labour charges.... no free gifts though

What else did you get? I was quoted just over RM10k for the projector, 92" Luma gray screen, a Pioneer high-end DVD player and all the cables, installation and mountings.

some honeycomb funky looking padding like thing for the walls (some soundproof thingie...i was told), cables, installation and calibration, pionner amp, dv-S969avi player and screen

oooooo.... cool. So that means the insulation stuff is around RM1000+ only. Post pics ya when it's ready or invite us all over would be better

actually gonna do a house warming soon... bcos imassively renovated my current apartment... last time bachelor pad now urm family friendly...after i get back from sg on the 24th

Hmm.. decisions decisions.... haih....

if you're looking for a dlp... i think i saw a couple samsung ones on sale at hsl

Bring your 360 to Musical Image, I'm sure they'll let you test it out for a few minutes

best to bring your favourite dvd's as well... then you can compare better

Just came back from KLCC, went to check out the KF-E50A10 and this other 50" DLP from Samsung. Both somewhat grainy for my liking.

hehehehehe so you getting the projector as well?

Gonna check out Musical Image tomorrow. Then only decide.

do let us know if you see any good deals there

Sorry ... but what is this Musical Image thingy ? Name of a shop ?

Yup, is a name of a shop.

Mucho gracias.

Once all done, post some pics... maybe with GRAW.

GRAW??? nah i'll post a screen shot of "You have been sniped by MKA84" hahahahahahahaha

Ahahaha... my sniping skills cannot make it. About the only time I get sniper kills is when the target is either not moving or going in a straight line.
