Gearwhores

That' s the native resolutin? So it' s 5:4... same thing. Get widescreen next time.

Learn to keep your ignorant ass out of other peoples business, unless you plan to put up a rational opinion.

Could' ve easily said " Hey man wait til you see what that shit looks like in widescreen. It' s rather nice to have the full screen at your use without it being cut down by black bars." Or somthing of the sort. Instead you gotta come bouncing in with some stupid ass shit that for some fucking reason keeps dripping out your mouth. No wait their is a reason why shit keep coming out your mouth. Sucking daddy' s dick seems to be feeling you up and flooding your system!

EDIT: Noticed you changed up your wording form " Learn to get widescreen" to " Get widescreen next time." Seems a bit more tame eh. Can you try and keep it that way?

And yes I may have gotten a bit carried away with my statment, but regardless it doesn' t deter the fact that you come off as a rather arrogant individual instead of someone with an opinion on somthing.

It took me some time to find a TV under $1000 that offered specs similar to the very nice Samsuang TVs.

Finally came across the Syntax Olevia tv' s. Almost exact specs as the Samsuang of same size just minus a feature or 2 and a bit lower of a contrast ratio. Got the 26" Widescreen for $550.

Watch your mouth, kid.

Glad you noted my youthful looks, almost a curse perse as I have to deal with getting carded and what not.

So wise old man(I only assume) what gives you the notion that I am of the teenage group? Is it my ass? Are you looking at my ass you wise...er I should say creepy old man now, huh?

Anyhow as I stated before I may have gone a bit overboard with that statement. However, as stated before you should be less arrogant and more helpful. Instead of attacking him simply because he does not have an uber fancy setup you couldve easily suggested some TVs that he could check out if his budget persists.

Instead you simply come on barging in with your ever so trade marked jackassery style.

Evil Man *smirks* ...what make and model is that TV?! Is it a CRT?!

they don' t make CRT bigger than 36" -If I remember correctly that is.

Loco - gaming on a PC monitor sucks - I' d rather play on PC than be playing any console in a typical PC style setting.Don' t you like to sit back and relax on your comfy couch while playing on a big screen?

I would honestly rather play on a big SD TV than on a small monitor.

Says the guy still playing games in 480i.

You sem to have no idea what kind of difference HD resolutions make to console gaming. Just ask Mass, he' s not long had a HDTV and he' ll tell you it makes a world of difference.

loco' s new monitor is nice, i just hope it' s 19" or above. I' m using a 23" CRT monitor and playing in 720p. It fucking rocks compared to my 28" SDTV.

It is a 19" . To the left is my 22" CRT. It actually looks a lot better on the LCD even though it is 3 inches smaller. The insanely fast 2 ms response time makes a huge difference. I have a comfortable leather chair that I sit in while I play PC and 360.
When I have friends over we play on the 33" TV downstairs. It isn' t HD but it has a nice picture with component video. With only 2 of us we still sometimes play on the monitor because HD is just that much better.

Back in the days of Halo 1 the 4 of us prefered to play in 480p on my 17 inch CRT monitor over my friends 27" Standard TV. It gives you a definite advantage. Now my roomate has a 32" LCD HDTV so we play on that or both.

You can play smart-ass all you like but most of us have seen HD on PC' s way before 360 and while it' s great to have , I wouldn' t want to play on a small monitor.I love gaming on my 36" 480i SD TV :)

Sure I' d prefer a nice 100" plasma, but I' m into SD systems too much and upscalling is still a big problem (lag) these days (unless you pay a bit more for a special device).

HD is the right direction , but I wouldn' t prefer playing HD on my DS screen to playing on a home TV - and that' s pretty much the difference here (a bit exegerated but just a bit) :)

Playing games in high resolutions on PC' s with the amount of details and effects present in games like GRAW on 360 qould require an absolute beast of a PC. The graphics card would ave to be able to do HDR too, and then it' d have to keep it at playable framerates.

What kind of PC do you have?

Sure I' d prefer a nice 100" plasma

Plasma?

Well since DLP > LCD > Plasma, it' d be MY last choice.

480i games on HDTV look like shit, 480i is like 240p, and when your TV' s native rez is 720p it has to blow up the image almost 3 times to make it fit, which make it look like shit. 480p games dont look that bad though, the image would only get blown up like 30% or so.

Anyway, I was looking at the paper and saw a 1080P 37" LCD HDTV for sale at Fry' s Electronics for only $1200, I may get it, that is the cheapest I' ve ever seen a 1080p TV and it says the offer ends August 1... as in today.

Check out my awesome aluminum blinds!!!! But seriously, that' s my modest set-up.

...there' s no way that i' d settle for playing games on a tiny 19" LCD either... ...no argument about response times or whatever could ever sway me from the fact that gaming, like movies, MUST be done on a HUUUUUUGE screen...

...that' s why i still don' t have a 360...

....i can sort of understand why a PC gamer might be cool with it, due to those minute screen sizes being all that they have known in a gaming capacity, but for anyone else, the mere idea of such a thing is just plain laughable.....

...for now i' m gonna settle for playing Ninja Gaiden Black' s Mission Modes, Metal Gear 3: Subsistence and Final Fantasy XII on my phat-a$$ed 28" widescreen tv in my lounge.. ...where i can stretch and scratch my ballz without worrying about getting deep vein thrombosis...

...and to think I was gaming on a 14 inch portable tv [colour mind you] and thought I was lucky.

You kids.

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Well since DLP > LCD > Plasma, it' d be MY last choice.

It all depends on what model you compare, if it were that simple, plasma and LCD TV' s would be dead already.

I' m planning to get a nice 720p native LCD projector:



With well upscanning DVD player.

Plasma isn' t dead yet?

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

if it is , I haven' t heard of it :)

I wonder how SED is shaping up and when will it be available to mainstream market.

Hahahahaha...

Plasma might get better black levels than LCD but that doesn' t make up for it' s setbacks. Aren' t plasma' s really cheap now though?

I keep telling you bastards, if you want 1080p, go to tigerdirect.com! Check this out...

50" 1080p for $1600!!!

I have this bad feeling that it' s gonna go the way of the Phantom, and become vaporware. I hope not, but there' s not a lot of info circulating about it, and that seems bad. VERY bad!

I got a bunch of new computer stuff, I' ll have pics and stuff up soon.

Logitech G7 and Sennheiser HD 205. I have bigger pictures on my web site.

"If you knew how good I am you would think I'm modest."

Please don' t tell me you' re showing off with your Mouse and headphones...

Loco - you' re not a gearwhore - you' re just a whore for now :)

I can' t post pics until I get a digital camera, I' ll get one soon though.

I' ll post pics of my setup at some point. I wouldn' t mind making a video either, it would be more efficient. In my apartment we have 3 360s, 2 Mac G5s, 4 or 5 laptops one of which is my Alienware, 2 Xboxes, 3 tvs and one of those is my set up in the living room which is a 36" tv with Spherex 5.1 surround sound.

Rampage knows how a Ninja thinks, and moves, thats why " Rampage' s Apartment" means " oh shit, I am going to Die" in Japanese

Well, thrusting your knife into the back of his neck between the first and second vertebrae would sever his spinal cord and pulling his head back sharply as you do so would ease the passage right through to the back of his windpipe. Relatively little blood and and almost instant silent death.

Just remember to hide the bod in the shadows!

Some random stabbing in my damn neck should finish me of pretty quick, I' m not Superman.

To risky - guy is a fuckin Ninja after all... sticky shocker should do the trick and then you can beat him to death with your cell phone.
