Holy field! How much does that 36" CRT set weigh, how many guys did it take to move it and did you pick-up the chiropractor bill for these guys' treatment for back pain? Any plans to upgrade to an HDTV any time soon, or does the diminished rez/widescreen view of the CRT not bother you in the least? Just askin'. :o

The Sony IS an HDTV. If you meant to ask whether I'm planning to upgrade to a flat panel display, then the answer is no. I have no plans on replacing my current set with a flat panel until black levels on LCDs improve or something better comes out (SED, OLED). Black levels have been getting much better on LCDs lately, so maybe next year if I'm impressed with how the sets look I'll upgrade to a 40" LCD. Until then, I'm happy with my Sony KV-36HS420.

More thoughts...

So I spent a good 2.5 hours gaming tonight. First I played Castlevania:SOTN, then Gears of War, and finished off with Crackdown. I can now say that HDMI most definitely looks better than VGA. Colors are more defined and deep, yet clearer, compared to the more washed out look with VGA. The picture itself is noticeably sharper, especially in the details. Floors, edges, textures, and text have more detail than I've seen before. I am someone who scrutinizes graphics and likes to notice the "little things", and I can most definitely tell the difference. Even my wife commented on the Red Omen (the skull you see when you die in GOW) being much more of a deep red color than before. The edge detail is noticeable in Crackdown as well. Anyone who has played this game knows your character model is "cell-shaded" and has a black border surrounding the player. The character model looks much better w/HDMI, with more detail all around.

Overall the graphics look cleaner and clearer. It's like cleaning a dirty window and being able to see clearly through it now. I am pleasantly surprised by the difference, especially since I was not expected a huge change from VGA, which already looked excellent!

Nobody should be making purchase choices based upon screen-shots . I give Viper credit , he posts some of the better screen-shots , but people need to consider how many variables come into play when taking and posting screen shots . This is not a knock at any displays either just some friendly advice ;) .

I've got 2 new Samsungs in my new home a 71" DLP 1080P and 46" LCD 1080P and I perfer the DLP but they both throw a fantastic picture. I don't remember the exact model numbers but they are in my thread. I also perferred the 46" Sammy LCD over the new Sharp Aquos which I looked at buying at the same time.

05-01-07, 12:29 PM
I suggested the plasma knowing you are a gamer, and as a gamer myself. The belief that Plasmas burn-in is simply a myth. In fact plasmas simply can get image retention, but that is easy to correct and even easier to avoid, so there is no risk of screwing up an investment in one.

A myth? Plasmas use phosphors, just as conventional cathode-ray tube displays do. All phosphor-based displays are subject to "phosphor wear", which is a very gradual loss of brightness over time caused by use. When one area of the display is used more than others, this leads to uneven phosphor wear. If one compares the "worn" area to the "less worn" area, one will see an unevenness in brightness or coloration. This is referred to as "burn-in". It does indeed take a while to develop on most plasmas, and may be confused with image retention, but make no mistake, plasmas suffer from burn-in.

I think he meant that it is a myth that if you get a Plasma you will get burn in. You can prevent most of it if you do proper break in, etc. And that most people scream burn in when in fact it is just IR that can be eliminated.

nlane01s
05-01-07, 02:52 PM
I agree, I have a plasma and it works great. You do get IR(image retention), which would scare most away who do not understand it correctly, but the benefits of the tv (color, contrast, black levels) far exceed the burn-in issue.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphor_burn-in
Yes, a myth. Unlike CRTs, the phorsphors in Plasmas don't get hot enought to become burnt which is what causes the discoloration on CRTs commonly known as burn-in.

All phosphor-based displays are subject to "phosphor wear", which is a very gradual loss of brightness over time caused by use.

What you describe is image retention, which again it is easy to correct if it does happen but even easier to simply avoid ever seeing in the first place. That is not to be confused with the burn-in that can trash a CRT.

Try using the THX optimizer; you get a moive if you don't have it and it's cheap. Their on dvd disks such as the incredibles and the terminator.


i do use the thx optimizer but the picture is just to dark i'll buy the avia or those other calibration disks later on

The wires are tucked away under the baseboard. I'm glad I was able to do that. Makes it a lot cleaner looking.

Surprisingly I work 250 to 300 hours a month, travel a lot, and lately I've been moving and working on the new house with that occupying most of my time getting the 3 HT's up and running. I haven't played my 360 very much at all in the last 3 months I think I cracked the 40k gamerscore end of Dec 06.
:) I do like to unwind and play a couple hours a night on the weekend I'm home though.

Hey everybody, I just read through this entire thread, alot of nice setups here.

No pictures of my setup (Should be getting new speakers + receiver tomorrow so I'll post pictures then with the wires and everything all setup. Plus I had flood damage, so alot of trim is missing and stuff).

I do have this picture, though, which I had my friend believing was a real photograph. He even owns the game in question. The TV is a 37'' Olevia 237v.

Attached is a picture of my "gaming rig". I must admit to using it more playing games than watching TV or movies. In that respect I can't ask for more...for a home theater experience though there are many better setups. Size is 110" (or 140" for scope movies) and both the projector and the noisy xbox are behind the screen. As for sound, apart from the 3 main speakers there's a sub and 4 inwall-surrounds.

Nice set-up at the end of your bed, must be fun just to lay in bed and game as long as you like.

It's good to work hard for your toys, feels great when you get them from all that hard work. Props for being responsible to afford the things you want that young instead of begging or relying on mom & pop to buy it for you.

The reason I didnt get a 32" is because it costed $500aud more and I didnt want to save up for another 2-3 weeks, I regret not waiting now though :( . I might upgrade soon, but Im gonna wait for some more price drops though because I've only had my TV for a few months :p

Ok whew, I thought it was me. So the AA is woefully.. well woefully WOE in the demo. Everything looks great in this car game except the cars.LOL

I purchased the VGA cables today and I have to say I am IMPRESSED. I'll post pics later but it really helps the jaggies on games since now with the cable it's a pixel to pixel thing. (768). I have the sony KDL-32S2010 and the native res is 1366 x 768. So 720p and 1080i still get scaled buy the TV and it does a pretty decent job of it but you always get the feeling "there's more". Well today I got more. Looking at some of the pics posted in this thread I still have some tweaking to do but I love what I see so far. Definitely more "depth" to the picture. Definitely more.

According to the forza pitpass the graphics in the demo are the same as in the full game.

here are some pics of my setup taking with my 1.3mp cell phone camera and with my old 360, I have since then upgraded to the Elite. Magnolia coming Saturday to put my plasma up on the wall, I cant wait, I will post pics therafter. By the way Forza 2 is pretty good, I think it will be better online and Area 51's graphics are very hot but I think my finger is going to fall off after I compete the full version. Anyone else feel that way?. The demo is definitely a teaser tease, I was about to hide from that big monster that came out at the end. haha.

i honestly expected it to be in japanese as well. i do know that there are quite a few japanese people (younger crowd, including gamers) that "love" the english language, like they'll wear a t-shirt that says "ketchup" just because it's an english word (even if they dont understand it)

i'm not sure about japan, but i know a few countries in europe teach many years of english in their schools, so it's slowly becoming a "universal language" IMO.

it is either that theory, or it's completely developed in english, but they debut it there to entice the japanese, who are more inclined to like a good "young" JRPG vs. gears of war for example.

the third option is that the game is in both languages, and when setting up even a japanese profile, you have the option of choosing a default language (assuming we all chose english) then it tells the game that english is preferred.

with the final release you will probably see options for japanese with english subtitles, or english dubbed. because the mouth movements on the characters indicate that the audio either isnt accurately modeled into the character movements, OR it's english dubbed.

who knows? :)

edit:

i just read someone from japan said all the menus and text is in japanese, so it depends on what system you're on or what language your system defaults to.

edit2:

i just changed my language to japanese, and the in game voices are still in english, it must be NTSC-J dependent, and since i'm on an NTSC box, i wont get the japanese languages.

Que: how do you all take screen shots with your digicam of your vid games? i mean i know how to set the cam up and everything but how do you pause your 360's and get such clear shots? i usually use the in-game pause on the controller but the screen dims and says 'pause' on it? how do you all avoid this? I want to take some pics of my system also

oh and btw, i think that 1st pic is from platoon, but i might be wrong ;)

Make sure to turn the flash off and if you can hold the camera real steady you should be fine.. People say you need a stand but that's not true.. Also when you pause the movie using the controller hit the "B" button once to take away the bar... My 360 doesn't do the dim deature until a couple of minutes after not doing anything.. Look through the options and try to find it, if there is such an option.

05-16-07, 04:03 PM
hey guy. Thanks for the advice, Great shot handheld! my hands arent that steady :rolleyes:

my suggestions for getting a good shot are: setting your point and shoot camera up from at least the distance you view tv from or farther is better. put your camera on any flat surface (bookcase, chair, table) zoom in and fill as much of the screen with your tv/display. set your mode to distance or landscape that way focus will be on farthest point from the camera. set the timer on your camera to 10 or 5sec delay. press the shutter button step back wait for the countdown and boom. camera takes the shot and its perfectly steady. optional: if you can overexpose the shot by 1/3 if the camera allows manual setting of exposure. I find this helps bring out shadow detail but can blow the white areas up too much.

thanks for the suggestion on the "B" button on the controller. I have tried this but my screens always show the 'pause' warning. is this game dependent or are their options on the 360 to shut this off?
here are some shots from lost planet to illustrate my point

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l282/vrbucket/screen%20shots/video%20games/IMG_0041.jpg
jeez, there sure is lot more detail in the halo3 pics. the 360 puts out an amazing amount of detail. i know its HD but even on my low resolution 800x600 projector, games look so much more detailed. I didnt think my low resolution projector would work so well with hidef games. once i get the pause thing out of the way i'll try to post some pics.

I hear ya. The wife approval factor is a big one. Another piece of A/V furniture can sometimes set them off. ;)

As for the 360, with it's fans venting through the back, I think the flow of fresh air is coming in from the sides (which make it more difficult to get air when it's in the vertical position, since the preferations are on the top and bottom with that configuration). I was just thinking of the radiant heat (not exhaust heat) from that A/V receiver, those things get pretty hot (especially with something sitting on top of it) and could warm some of the air trying to enter and cool your 360.
As long as it's your money your spending why does your wife matter??? Then again I wouldn't marry a chick that would be all "OMG, t3h entertainment center is black and not mapl3!!!!" No, i'm not married, only 22 :P

How so, you've never heard of a 6.1 system before?? This Onkyo set is a 6.1. Oh you mean 3 speakers physically behind me. I have them angled down facing my couch you still get the surround effects. I can't put two on either side of my couch because I have a window to the right and my door on the left.

just a tip here
your TV is pushing blues really strong
try adjusting your color settings a little
























actually now that I think about it it could be your camera too

Here's a couple direct feed grabs from the trailer to use as a reference

What is the best way to get screenshots and resize them for posting? I just ran these through a generic photo resizer.

Tv is a Sony 42A10 LCD using the VGA connection and camera is a Casio Exilim EX-Z750 using tripod, no flash and using the timer. There was a little light coming through the blinds when I took these.

You got me on that one! Now I see why people are having a fit with the demo. I thought it was Forza 2! Ive never played Forza myself. Forza 2 demo was my first time. Im sure the graphics will be more polished up and what not. But still. Not a huge jump at all in terms of graphics. Just more "cleaner" looking.

I built the entertainment center myself. It came out nice.
Maxent MX-50x3 50" Plasma. Decided not to hang it on the wall of course.
Harman-Kardon AVR-435 Receiver
XBOX 360 with Add-On
Comcast Motorola 3412
Tivo Series 2
Front and center speakers are Orb Audio Mod2's and the rears are Mod1's

Thats a great idea btw. You would think I would know how to do that, but I'm only 16 so I really dont. once again, excellent wood work. How long did that take you to build and complete?

Inferno Nine
05-23-07, 01:39 AM
yea but forza 2 will be better in the long run over 300 pluss cars. probably an even better paint and create a car mode. true force feedback wheel support. an amazing damage model which is not in the demo. your playing the arcade mode there it only has cosmetic damage. plus the online modes are going to be sick. being able to auction off you car you spent hours creating and usin in the game. hey you may tire of it and sell it off for a few hundred g's. when i play the demo with the wireless wheel i use the hood view which i didn't use in forza 1 because i needed to see how the car was handling. now i can really feel it. the tires slipping the bumps in the road etc. i used to have gran tarismo 4 and the logitech force feedback pro 900% wheel. this is about as close to that experience your gonna get. finally the 360 has force feedback. i always was diapointed that xbox was unable to do it. well not anymor im in heaven. only thing in the demo with the wheel is that there is no analog for the brake but it will be in the game. i'll have settings for everything.

I recently took a crapload of shots. Not the absolute best, since my digital camera is insanely outdated.

A majority of these I took from footage of the X06 trailer on XBLM. The others are of Crackdown, MLB 2K7, Kameo (launch title that still has some of the best graphics/colors of any game on the market today) and the Halo 3 beta.

My 2 setups below. Most of these taken on the 42" Samsung plasma. A couple taken on the Mitsu 55" RP/CRT HDTV
