40-inch LCD TV connected via VGA to my Xbox 360

[evoWalo]

i thought I'd like to share some shots of my new 40-inch Samsung LA40S81 connected via VGA to my Xbox 360.

1080p display north of 60-inches could be in the works in 2-3years time. ;) I just hope I dont find the girl of my dreams and marry her.

Funny that some people made a big fit about the 360 not doing 1080p :P

That's a damn nice TV you got there ;)technically the non-HDMI 360s can but only on certain sets.

1080p sets are insanely priced here starting at US$4500 for a 46-inch model Samsung Mosel w/o freebies and cash-only purchases. So there is no point in being negative about it as 1360x768 is plenty good for HR HDTV and 720p viewing. Not to mention no broadcasts/satellite/cable HD feeds are available anywhere in the country giving little incentive to go 1080p

Now imagine Top Gear & Fifth Gear eps on it. ;) I'm dying to get those 720p copies once TG gets broadcasted on BBC HD and Channel 5 HD.

I came from a regular 29-inch SDTV w/o pscan then a 29-inch SDTV w/ pscan, followed by a 32-inch LCD TV and bit the bullet and decided to buy a 40-inch LCD TV once I found an insanely priced bargain.

Playing on a screen that big is awesome. For the coin I dropped on it it is so much worth the purchase. I've played on a 46-inch Samsung Bordeaux Plus and Samsung Mosel at the showroom and the jump in resolution and clarity is amazing. Problem is the fact they're north of US$2000.

Choosing LCD over plasma is very simple. LCD doesnt consume as much electricity as plasma nor does it generate as much heat. Plasmas may produce better blacks but i dont want to deal with the ongoing cost running it for an estimated 5-8 years. Spending more on air-con and power to run the plasma is not worth better blacks.

If it were available I would have gotten LED-backlit LCD TVs. They consume less power than CCF-backlit LCD TVs. They suffer no "warm up time". And they dont have mercury.

Thanks... Enjoy your set! I'm very jealous!

It may be a 1080p display, but the signal from the 360 is not.. right? ;) Unless they rereleased all their titles in 1080p over the weekend ;)

BTW - sweet TV. Now you just need to get a PS3 to exploit the full potential of the TV :P
