How To Get The Best From This Tv
« on: October 23, 2005, 02:29:00 PM »

this is my TV

http://www.futuresho...ngid=EN#content

it is ok i just got it it is a 2006 model 27' inch colour SDTV. i think it produces great pictures. HDTV is to expensive for me. i have a colour stream and s video inputs if that is better than standard A/V input. does 360 even support s-video? so look at the specs and could you guys tell me the set up to get the best possible picture with my xbox 360. and i spend alot of time on the road waiting around and my dad has a nice lap top  17' inch LCD. i have to wait at his meetings and he says i could use the laptop to play 360 and use the company's connection to play live ! just will the VGA adapter work with a labtop.

"Colorstream" is more commonly known as "Component" which is the kind of connection the 360 Premium edition will come with in addition to standard Composite.

S-Video is not as good as colorstream though there will be an S-Video cable available separately (in the US, but not in europe).

As for a laptop connection... I've never heard of a laptop with a VGA INPUT... but if you have one... have fun.

Hdtv's are too expensive for me as well, which is why I'm going to side with a monitor. My current 15" is really sh*t, so I'd have to buy myself one for just 100$-ish.
