I'm getting my 360 to output 1080p signal to my TV, but I dont see much difference between setting the system at 720p and 1080p when playing games like gears of war. Are all 360 games 720p native? Someone in MS claims that "we ccan do 1080p with just a simple syste update" bleh, what good is that if all it does is upscaling and dddall the games are natively lower res?

- my tv is a 37" with 1080p native
- using vga cable to connect (360 dash board says that it is outputting at 1080p)

most 360 games are 720p..
u wont have much luck finding 1080p games

ps3 has some.. still very few.. can count with 1 hand..

MGS4 will be 1080p.. im thinking of changing my platform

At 37", the difference between 720P and 1080P won't be readily apparent at first glance, unless you start scrutinising the screen.

50" and above, can start see the difference. At 80" and above, can really see the difference.

do the details play an important part for you?

yeah it does. it tickles me knowing that im not getting the best of my money..heh

but seriously though, i CAN tell the difference between high def demo videos from my pc between 1080p and 720p.. my eyes and tv are capable of ddifferentiating between the 2. im worried that 720p might ot be too great once every ps3 games go 720p native

It matters greatly for most next gen gamers. Thats why most of us got the LCD display that at least supports up to 1080i.

its true.. LCD monitor that we use the pixel are so small that we can differentiate very easily 720p/1080p
but like mk84 said.. which i agree, try 720p on a LCD TV.. it wows u like u havent see before on ur LCD monitor..
i played the same game running on 720p on LCD monitor then switch to LCD tv 40" running also at 720p..
u start to see much more detail into it.. as compared to monitor

yeah, what does he know. he's probably still stuck with crt monitors

/kidding

but i want to know if the 360 is 1080p native capable...

Yup I'm stuck.... with this...



There's a list somewhere of all the native resolution for XBOX360 and PS3 games.

mk84 is tht a photo frame? and where u get tht poster?

Custom printed hehehehe

Wow... so small.

heheh... how u know MK84 very "small"?


hehehe... 42" also small?

^ Err.... that sounds so wrong on so many levels...

the 360 is 1080p capable, but only if the game itself support it. the few 1080p 360 games i remember are:
- Virtua Tennis 3
- NBA Street Homecourt

and of course the HD DVD add on, that does 1080p too

Hope you'd like the list i've gathered from the web.

I don't think we'll see any great games with full 1080p on the Xbox 360, ever. If you're familiar with game resolutions on the PC, you'll know a higher res means more processing power needed on the GPU, and i think the same thing applies to the Xbox 360. See even Bungie reduced Halo 3 to 640p to increase performance(usually when ppl say performance they mean framerates). Why does games like Virtua Tennis support 1080p, thats because its just a small scene with very little things to render.

?????????

wow xbox360 look so small for the first time...

if X300 yeap
X200 nope

46x300a..

er.. sure. how would we know that u didnt fetch that picture off google image search?

^^ uh oh.... someone is asking for it...

that was an honest question. i have a comparable setup, albeit a step lower

LCDs are all over Malaysia now you know..and some of us can afford it...is not like we are still in 5th Malaysia Plan period.

time to upgrade!!

MK84! upgrade a bigger want la

i think to have res of 1080p will sacrifice the frame rate .

Ish.... kenot ler. That's maximum size already for the room. I don't have the luxury of dedicated AV room. Everything throw in the living room.

Anyways these days can get similar setup for the price of a 40" Bravia LCD TV.

Maybe you can upgrade your 720p projector to 1080p Native projector.

got one question here...wht is the name of the cable that can use for connect lcd monitor(computer) and x360

Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable.

I smell someone jealous here

meh... surela jealous. it's bigger than my 37" tv... what do u have?

I've been to MK's AVmindblowing Shrine, and was awed.

Am still awed.

It's exactly as teh pictar.

aijoh if you didn't post your setup first at least i still have face to post mine... like that no need to post already hahahahaha...

OT: MK you want anything from my spare bin ah??? the av room has now been converted to an office...

Yoroi.... no budget ler bro... thanks for the offer. Now I also clearing my spare bin.

hey mk...

u can put in my av room if u wanna get bigger LCD

MK, with a screen like that you're not playing COD4 MP?

Kamon MK kamon! COD4 or bust!

you also kah??? hahahaha ok ok... pm me a list of the stuff you're selling too hehehehe

first time i see ppl asking this question. I dont think it's important at the moment, coz most tv IINM runs at 60hz (or was it 70hz)

Hahahah nanti la.... no mood for FPS right now.

this is a good read on native 1080p/720p games

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2453&p=10

dont need to read the whole artivle, just turn to the page ive linked.

I am using 37" 1080p at the moment. Windows Vista never looked so good. Thing is, I can get Windows XP to run at 1920x1200 but Vista, stuck at 1360x768... dunno how to increase further

1080p games are rare as a liger, but they exist and that's cool. Better get a 1080p HDTV for future-proof. Also, HD content would be sweet on it... (scared to mention hd dvd/blu-ray... )

its not very important between 1080p and 720p....u see...even though the ps3
game ori resolution is up to 1080p but their detail and effect still cant compare wif the 720p only xbox 360. So its no use to know the differences....

have u tried a newer driver? ive never tried vista but we have the same tv setup: 37" 1080p. can get full res with xp too. now that im already using a hdtv, i find those 700mb movie files (ripped from dvd) to be in adequate to my satisfaction. i only dl hd movies now, that is when i can. been purging my old collection of SD movies, they look so blocky and ugly

emm, well i guess that depends on the game as mentioned in the article i linked above. also it depends on the programmer to code efficiently

Either newer driver, or specify custom resolution.

what are you talking about?
