Hi all, to the thread strater good work in putting up this thread it's really helpful. Anyway, I have 1 question, kinda noob actually. planining to get xbox360.. I am not sure to buy a lcd 20" or 22" cause i read around some people say the text on 20' are smaller and harder to read. Hopefully you guys can help me here abit. Thanxs yall.

anybody knows between 3rd party VGA cable and ori Microsoft HD VGA cable, is there any different in term of picture quality...well I intend to buy one!

i am using 19" lcd still can read all the text as usual lah if you got extra budget then go for the bigger ones

both same lah and you wont see any differences on pics quality. the only problem with the 3rd party is the connector to 360 is a bit loose... ori is always tight!

smaller if u use with PC at native res of 1680x1050 but no problems using with xbox360 since by default it's at 1280x720 only.

For some reason, 720p and 1080p does not change the size of text for me. I'm on a 24 incher.

yup, like i said before, it's bcoz the Xbox360 is 720p by default. So it's upscaled to 1080p most of the time. Hafta wait till games that natively supports 1080p such as the upcoming Virtua Tennis 3 to see the difference.

Aaaah yes, the upscaling. Forgotten all about it. Thanks dude.

Are there any games that's being rendered 1080p natively right now?

i dunno about u guys, but i use 1080i instead of 720p....coz i think the graphics looks nicer....

not sure abt others, my 3rd party VGA cable always tight. maybe just urs connector got problem? :P

er.. it should be wif HD-DVD, 60GB hard disk n also new GPU Chip...
they call it 65mm chip... smaller than the current n also less heat produced...
Maybe it will be more expensive... Aus$750 if not mistaken...
but don have Official news yet...

We don't comment on rumors and speculations.

That's what they will say. Do you think they will release it in the Australia first? Doesn't make any sense right?

Correct me if I'm wrong but for VGA, it's not possible to display 1080i right?

cannot meh... then how LCD display it???

What I meant was, you can't select 1080i if you're connected via VGA. All I see is the resolution, 1920x1080, 1280x720, etc.

So if I were to select 1920, does that mean I'm on 1080p?

First announced to be 1080p native is Virtua Tennis 3 by SEGA. but EA will be claiming the crown for first native 1080p game with the upcoming NBA Street Homecourt which is set to release this Feb.

See more in Wikipedia...
Look at the charts... you have a lot of info there...

Thanks dude, I've made up mind. I'm gonna get a WHUXGA display, which will run at 7680×4800.


Time to wake up from my dream now eh?

You won't notice any visible difference until you start pushing past 40".

Haha... ok ok ... you can go ahead n make it possible...
then pls tell us how much did you used up to reach that...
