Hey fellow gamers!

I wish i could read all the posts here but - 48 PAGES!! lol...

I dont know if anyone had answered this...but erm, here's what:

i got an Acer AL1916W (1440 x 900 native reso) i play my 360 on it. The colors look a bit faded and not very vibrant. I was wondering would it help if i change to another monitor? Will it gives me better color and details?

Any help would be very much appreaciated. thank you.

Erm juz wondering when the 360 is plugged to a PC monitor, wot output does it gives? 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p?

Sorry it this question contains any element noob-idity (i know there isnt such word tongue.gif)

And another question... hmm, i am actually quite puzzled about the term "high definition". As i know, any monitor that is able to display up to 1024 x 768 and higher is consider as a high def monitor. If its so then PC has been high def for years. But why are manufacturers nowadays stress so much on that word on their boxes? Some monitors cost up to a cool RM 2k. A quick check at the specs and i see the only difference is that the more expensive monitor has got HDMI support. Now, i guess that is useless unless u have got an Elite?

Hope to hear from you gamers soon! Cheers!

Hey all....

i'm now playin my 360 on my Acer AL1916W. The display is good (but nothing great) but the color is pale and washed out. I read somewhere it is due to the black level of the monitor not matching with the one on our 360s.

I was reading the reviews on the front page of BenQ FP94VW. I thought of gettin this to replace my current monitor. Do you think that's a wise move? How does the 360 looks like on that BenQ? Have anyone tried?

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Btw, does anyone knows the current my price of my monitor? The Acer AL1916W.

Hello all,

Erm i got a question here it might sound silly (prolly thats why i do not wanna star a new thread about this?) but any help would be greatly appreciated. Well, instead of playing split screens in some racing or shooting games, can i actually have 2 screens (via VGA) with a single console? If possible, how?

Thank you.
