what is not right? a few of us even bought LCD TVs and use it to play console and use it as PC too

I suppose I'm old skool, used to sitting five feet from the tv, SNES controller in hand...

after some extra reading..seems like there isnt any 24" lcd out that that can do 1:1 with the 360 that I know of. This is really unfortunate

My PC is a htpc and is under the tv, I have a 25ft vga cable running around the room and my monitor is placed 2 ft beside me and my bed. I really wanna get a big screen lcd for now. 42" 1080p lcdtv is pretty expensive now....was hoping that a 20-24" monitor would last me till May 2007, by which I would get a 42"

PrivateJohn, You're using modded console? You updated fine through fall update ?
What firmware are you using? 4.2b isnt? Where did you do ur reflashing? Did it yourself eh?

That is a really funny question indeed, ready to get pwnd by PJ.

I was just kidding. Wanna try his patience lol

Kernkraft400, LoL, poor naive kid. dear mod, be gentle lar. after all most ori-gamers were nurtured by ahems.

watch out fr his master cheif "hump"...lol

Can't wait !! hehehe no.. iam kidding !!

PJ is gonna get the ban hammer on u! muahahahaha

btw i already noticed that my 360 take a few seconds longer than usual to boot after the fall update

Maybe the 360 is doing the thinking probably. Maybe there's a lot more stuff to load after the fall update.

Hahahhaha. Someone sudah kena tipooooo. If PJ mod his console.. I lari2 bogel. muwahhahahha!!!

Hahaha, now thats hilarious.

Madmoz, traditionally you do that on a living room couch with consoles in your cabinet. But necessity dictates that to get the most out of these consoles, you need to pair them with some sort of HD ready displays, and after spending so much for the consoles, there arent enough dough for the screens. PC monitors are the most affordable solution then, which then dictates playing them as how you do playing PC games on PC.

For those looking, the BenQ FP241W is the only option to go 1080p on a 24 incher. RM3299 i asked, and should already be here by now.

I starved for a month, then went out to get the cheapest tv that supports 720p and now we get 1080p

Don't fancy the idea of staring at a monitor cause I do 8.5 hours of that at work!!!

But it is a very acceptable and affordable tradeoff for those who had to budget, Madmoz. And not to mention portable as well for LAN parties. If you arrange and set it up nicely, it is more than capable showing off your console in action.

Start slow2 lah bos, we have to start from somewhere. When things are going a little better financially, then the option for larger screens would open up.

stringfellow, how much is the price for a Microsoft wireless networking adapter in KL ? I've been craving for it for months.

Point taken... btw cnnecting to computer monitors = no sound right? So what speakers to use? I need something 5.1, we need an additional dolby receiver for this no?

^ There are lots of Home Theater sets out there that accepts optical input from the consoles (and dolby digital decoding). Pretty cheap too. For games, get those with a huge subwoofer (e.g Logitech). I dare say my cheap setup sounds more punchy than String's system.

As for LCD monitors..do u think we can really tell a difference between 720p and 1080p on a 24" screen? My 360's VGA cable is gonna arrive next week from PA. I'll see if running GOW at 1080p makes any difference. Most likely not. Sigh..now all that's left is finding dough for a PS3.
