I just got a 360 off of ebay for a reasonable price tag, however im worried it will look fuggly on my TV. Alot of people are saying that on a regular TV, the 360 looks like the first XBOX. Is this true?

Are there any pics showing comparing the 2?

I dont have the cash atm to get a hdtv, so im a bit worried it will look like crap.

hmm i doubt that.

sure HD makes the image look sharper and such, but i doubt that the games will look like a normal xbox game Laughing

well most xbox360 games look like xbox games atm... but I think if you are such a graphics whore you had to wait like 1 year when the devs can make better looking games than the bunch of crap that is now on the 60.

The easiest way to check this is by trying a nice looking pc game on a standard tv instead of the monitor.
I did this myself to see how much worse it became, and the result surprised me.
I tested with most wanted, and sure it's ALOT sharper on the monitor, but it still doesn't look bad on my secondary tv, a sony 29inch which is 8years old (so it will be even better on a newer standard tv). And MILES ahead of the ps2 or the xbox version. I actually prefear to play it through tv-out on my 29inch tv and not on the monitor.
I tested with a few more games, like hl2, serious sam 2 and cod2, and it was the same results.
To but it simple, you get all the graphics but in a more blurry and lower resulution way. Smile


People that say that the games look like xbox games on a regular tv, are just idiots.
This is as long as you play a game that really do look next-gen, like condemned, kameo or any other NEW game and not a bad port.

Anyone who says it looks the ame on a SDTV needs there eyes checked.

I dont have HDTV, but looking at an xbox games and a 360 game you can see the diffrence.

I agree with you on then 2nd sentence, people who thinks condemned/cod2/pdz/pgr looks like a normal xbox game, has probably never played a 360 game in the first place Smile

I can't beleive some of the crap when people say it looks like an xbox1 game on a SDTV. Thats complete bullshit....Its so clear I'm not worried about getting a HDTV until next year when the prices go down more.
I was acullaly very suprised at how good it looks on a SDTV.


Another question about what type of HDTV to get...an LCD or A Tube HDTV....I don't know if I like LCD for gameing...what do you guys think?

Yeah I agree, I've seen 360's hooked up to SDTV's and WD (widescreen) and sure the results are better on a WD, but still it looks damn good on a standard tv setup Smile

Trust me dude, if you wan't to use the setup as a "gaming" rig, I would stay far far far away from an LCD. LCD's are pretty good with movies or use it as a 2nd monitor, gaming wise I don't think so. And i'm not talking about cheap LCD models either.

There's a few arguments towards LCD vs the rest, and still even though it's a fact, there's a few people who belives their LCD setup is uber-hax0r compared to anything, which is ok by me, i'm not the one who's gonna buy one Smile

I rather buy a new WD 42 then an LCD for my 360 setup. Yeah if you wan't the ultimate HD experience go for DLP/HD Smile

Most of your posts chat alot of shit, but this has to be one of the worst offenders.

Maybe you should actually play a 360 before talking crap about it.

Comparison!

Well duh! Of course there's a difference.
But the quality is far from how xbox games look, and that's what this was all about. Smile
