Screen savers haven't been necessary for years just to let you know... screen burn is no longer a problem with any monitor or TV...

Old habits die hard...

What about plasma TVs? I just bought one and I heard a lot of stories about it but how true is that?

Clock sleep function would be great, so I can listen to CD's while I sleep.

As far as television burn in, I'm not sure, but in the booklets for most games, it states a message in regard to it.

" Avoid damage to Your Televison

Do not use with certain televisions
Some televisions, especially front or rear projection types, can be damaged.....blah blah etc etc.  "

Not sure about plasma TV, though. Maybe a email to Micro$oft asking the question could ease your mind, but I think what Demon says is right. You would have to leave it for days/weeks to get the burn effect.

Plasma's can get burn in real bad. Especially with bright white video. Be careful. A company that makes them left one on over night at a trade show with their logo on it. Screwed that one.....................

I haven't used a plasma TV before, and I don't know much about them.  I would contact the people you bought it from to see what they say.  You've already paid for it, they'll be honest! :)

A guy I work with here says that they will have problems.  He's an electronics wiz, and I'd trust him.

Still; the amount of time that it takes to burn in is what you should be curious.  I've got a projection and it takes days and days of the same image to burn in (acording to the manufacturer and the company I bought it from).  Longer than I'll ever have an image on the screen.

hard to believe some of this instruction since most of them is BS. [According to some of them you can't swap HDD in XB  laugh.gif ]

so...

we've discussed screen savers and flat TV's to quite an extent.

What about remote controller features for evox?

It seems like they don't have remote support, am I wrong?

If not, does anyone know if they are thinking of adding remote support?


I know i'm lazy, but the way I like my Xbox is with no game controllers, the remote receiver on the controller 4 port and to just put DVD's in without plugging in the controller. I only use the game controllers when I'm playing games.

The way things are now, I put the dvd in, evox boots up and I have to unravel my controller, plug it in, and  use the controller to go to ms dashboard so I can then play the dvd.

by the way, I realize that the xbox is a GAMING console and most people have theirs with 4 controllers plugged in constantly, but if there is a way to control evox using the remote, it would be nice to use that feature.

Thanks

Juanxo
