Day Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Right, we've had a HD TV for a while although not been able to use HD as we've got a standard Virgin box. Now I've got the xBox hooked up I've been playing in HD, do you know what I can't tell the difference. I truely believe HD is a big con that millions of people have been sucked into.

It is noticable on some XBox games. Normally though, unless you have a huge TV, and I mean 30 inch plus with 1080p it makes a little bit of difference. It's not noticable though. Sky are throwing it down our faces with these fecking stupid adverts droning about how much better HD is than SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derbydan Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 you will only really get the experience from a full hd 1080p tv if it is hd ready all it does is doubles the amount of lines processed on the screen to give the apearance of a sharper picture ie hd ready also the xbox is 1080i and not 1080p i think so is not full hd. The sky thing is a big con too coz it is immpossible to broadcast in full hd so that also is 1080i not full hd like they like to imply you can only really tell when watching a blu ray or playing a full hd console imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Not sure what ours is to be honest as it was a present, didnt bother to look to see what it was, when I first booted up the xBox it asked me what it was I just ticked 1080 whatever it was as it looked fine.

Perky1106 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I don't use a TV for my XBox 360. I use a 22 inch monitor. This delivers in 720p. It's good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
