So lets see them and state what tv you are using? I figure this would be good so that we don't keep getting threads like "whats the best tv for the 360" or "how does the 360 look on (blank) set"

anyone?

Everyone here has an awesome tv AND a 360--let's see 'em.

(Everyone with the awesome tv and 360 must be playing right now--this explains the lack of posts or because it's Thanksgiving and everyone is forced to put down their controllers to spend time with their families)

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish here?

When it comes to posts asking for screenshots why do we always get at least one response like the above? Geez, if you're against screenshots, just ignore the thread, move on, have a nice day, etc... But, what are you trying to accomplish, JDKav, with your post?

I think screenshots are cool, not very useful, but cool. Bring a smile to my face, they do.

I don't have my 360 yet, but I'd love to see some screenshots.

I think he's looking for the 360 porn.

People are eating now.

Hehe.

I will have some posted on my website within the next day or two (or three) ;) . Just been too busy playing to take any shots :D .

OK here's my setup:

Any tips on getting such a clear shot of your screen with the 360 running?

Yea, it's rear-projection LCD. I love the set.

I got shafted on the 360 too, but had a few friendly talks with the manager over the week before launch and paid for the 360 in full before launch for "whenever it comes in". On launch day they got an extra core system rang me up. :)

Thanks, they work great, no lag. Its truely incredible how well given the equipment closet doesn't even share a wall with the room. I used to have spotty quality with my orig xbox and the logitech wireless controllers. The 360 wireless has been flawless.

Stang - I'd watch the heat levels with all of that equipment jammed in there. Just the A/V receiver alone is a huge red flag. Normally the top of them is completely vented, and typically the manual says not to put anyting on top of them (looks like a cable box on there?) And then the 360 is in a vertical alignment with no clearance on either side or the top, and probably a ton of cables going behind it. I'd look for an alternate location for your 360, or invest in a A/V tower to get better seperation on your equipment. You normally never want to stack stuff directly on each other, there should at least be a shelf between components to allow for flow on all 4 sides.

Thanks for the heads up jon.

I actually think that the 360 has really good ventillation where it is. Since there is no exhaust grill on either of the components to each side of it, and since it has about 2 inches of clearance on each side, I feel like it's getting plenty of cool air.

As for stacking the other components right on top of each other, I completely agree :( , but I have yet to find a solution that appeases both myself and my wife....heck, getting an HDTV in the first place that wouldn't fit into a cabinet was an enormous step. I'm definatly going to replace it when I find the right piece. But until then, I'll look into seperating the components somehow. Thanks :) .

but I have yet to find a solution that appeases both myself and my wife....

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.

Nice pics guys

nice pics everyone!!!

More screenies please!

I'll see if I can get some up tonight. I'm terrible at photographing my tv, but I'll give it a try. :) -JR

Here are a couple from COD2 and one of my main setup. I'm using a 60" Sony Grand Wega paired with a Rotel RSX-1056 receiver and 5.1 surround using B&W speakers. Truly it's the ultimate gaming experience with the xbox 360.

If anyone cares, I can try for some better pics during the day when the natural lighting will help out.

You guys got some really hot setups.

sweet pics everybody..

Stangs55 So how are you like the JVC D_ILA for gaming? I'm considering that or the Sony.. Still waiting to see the 1080p JVC's at the store as they do not carry the 61" 720p set.

I really couldn't be any happier with it. The DILA hdtv's are known to be VERY bright/saturated displays...so as far as gaming on it goes, I think that you'd be very hard pressed to find a much better looking display. And while rich, bright colors might not be preferable for all your movie watching, imho games just look better like this. Everything seems alive and bright. It also has much better black levels than an LCD (though not quite like a DLP--however with those you'll still lack the brightness) so I can retain alot of my darker details while still displaying the rich colors. Of course there are different color settings on the TV to switch between Theatre, Standard, Dynamic, and Gaming so you can customize your viewing.

So basically I'm very very happy with it. :)

sweet, thanks for the impressions! The 61" JVC is my number one choice right now.. I'm hoping to get the black as well, but they only had a silver on display.

Thanks for the pics guys...set up looks awesome.

Here is a shot of my 360 in my room in camp. Work in Oil and Gas sector in Northern Alberta and the camp rooms are small so this is about as big as I could go with my 46" DLP Samsung. I'll take some home photos with my 61" Toshiba and Panasonic AE900 with the 120" screen when I ever make it back and get the 360 hooked up to play on them again.

You guys have very... artsy setups. By this I mean lots of little urns, decorative stones, ceramic tiles, wall hangings and the like. It's definitely interesting, but seems like it requires a lot of available wall and floor space.

Dial down the Contrast a little.
Bump up the Brightness a little.
Dial down that Color a little.

Looks good otherwise.

Just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Well I have been messing with the pic settings for the past week tryin to find something I like, I'll try out what you said and see how it looks. Alot of the settings I have seen on this forum that alot of people swear by make my pic wayyyyyyyy to dark. I'm trying to find the best setting for bright, vibrant colors, while not totally killing the black levels.

I also have the 1C's as rear speakers.

I purchased from a dealer in Chicago, IL.

They are the Vandersteen 2Ce Signature Speakers for the Fronts. They Sound Amazing.

-SOWK

Thanks for the question.

Waukesha.

For the longest time i had them hooked up to a rotel RB-970BX amp connected to the variable output of a h/k TL-5300 (i think thats the model, it was a top loading 5 disc changer). then they sat on my computer for awhile connected thru a gemini pmx-2001 pre/mixer to multiple sound cards (anything from a sb live to an emu 0404).

Now they're on my TV through a h/k AVR135. Sounds alright for movies, haven't had a chance to listen to any music yet to see how it does. picked it up a week ago w/ my tv.

I wish i would have had they cash for the 2ce's those things are VERY nice.

Edit the guy that worked at signature audio opened his own shop, which was based out of his 'tosa home. Now its called Ultra Fidelis down in Milwaukee. Don't know if he still carries Vandersteen.

I am "this" close to getting the Sony. Are you noticing any lag (I know you have the other thread open...)?

I was going to get the Panny 42PX50U, but this Sony has really won me over--it's more money, but it seems to be worth it.

Can you talk about your gaming experiences using the Sony? I'd really appreciate it. I know there are threads dedicated to that set, but I just want to know all about gaming on it.

Do you play xbox, ps2, gamecube? How do they all look. I want to play Shadow of the Colossus the set. I'd appreciate all the gaming feedback you can provide!! THANKS

OK either you guys are taking deceiving pictures or you can do magic, because your PGR screens don't show any aliasing and I get jagged edges on both of my TVs (46" DLP and 27" LCD). Other people are saying PGR has a lot of jaggies too but in a lot of these screens i'm seeing smooth images. What gives?

Then I must be doing something wrong because PGR looks aliased on both my 46HM95 (46" Toshiba DLP) and 27" ViewSonic N2750W, both at 720P.

You guys must be taking all the PGR3 screens in photo mode. That gets rid of the jagges ;)

Nice pics everyone....Anyone have any pics from a samsung DLP set?

I have the same TV as you Gunstar77.......it rocks! You should take off the sticker on the lower right hand side of the TV though....it looks better. Don't worry about it leaving a white sticker mark, they're designed not to.

Now Im in Japan for 2 years and I got me a 26" KDL-S26A10...

I got pictures attached...Im not realy big into surround sounds and everything...picture is what matter most to me so that explains why I just always have my setup hookup to a stereo...

well hopefully the XBOX360 will be added to the setup I have on the picture...and when I get back to the states...upgrade to a SXRD or a BRAVIA...

Nice setup gunstar. Man I can't wait for my 360 now :mad:

Here's where I WILL be playing my 360 when I get it

That's my pride and joy Sony KD-34XBR960. Dunno how to switch the flash off on the new digi camera so the picture quality on the tube there is very off.

It's gonna look a lot nicer with a 360 in there ;)

I love that one... :)

Nice shots of girls...

Any issues with that tv mcklein? At that price that tv looks absolutely amazing. Is it lacking elsewhere (inputs/menu items/etc)? I see advertised for around $1200-1600, which is pretty low, which scares me.

How'd you guys put those pics on there? On your XBOX dashboard, I mean.

Assuming you're running Windows Media Connect on your PC - on your 360, go into MEDIA, then PICTURES to browse pics stored on your PC. Choose a pic and then press X to "set as background".

Hey McKlein.. have you ever tried to remove the skin after applying it? How easy is it, and if so does it leave any tell tale signs on the console making it obvious that the exterior surface has been played with?

I am just worried that these skins - as cool as they look - might leave marks on the console case when they are removed, and this might be a problem if God forbid I have to return the console for warranty repairs or for replacement..

^^^Oh no I havent try that, I guess ill see if the console needs repair....

This is a very cool thread. Too bad I have no 360 yet...:(

Thanks Raaj! Sometimes my eyes go a little wacky after looking through post after post.

I have a skin from decalgirl and it comes right off no problems, and no tacky residue or anything. Although on mine I used all of the pieces to fill in the memory slots and USB slots as well so the whole front is black.

NFS:MW deffinatly looks better :D

Very nice! You could warm up the darker walls by doing a faux-wood finish on the white trim ;) ... sorry for the 2cents... I used to be a painter and now I'm stuck with the queer eye.

None of your screens look aliased/jaggy like mine :( I'll have to post pics.


If you are using the HD Component cable there is a small switch where the cable plugs in to the system. Make sure it's set to HD. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause jaggies.

When I first got my 360 I did that and then accidentally switched it back to sdtv when I plugged the cord into the 360. It's always a good idea to check the switch if you're not happy with the picture.

My lovely wife got me a 360 for Christmas. Normally I play on my 50" DLP, but here is a pix of it hooked up to my gaming PC. It's an HP 2335 1920x1200. I have found that 1080i looks sharper than 720p.

It wouldnt be HOT without Paris Hilton backrounds.

It wouldnt be HOT without Paris Hilton backrounds.

I hope you're joking.

Exactly what is appealing about Paris?

The annoying voice or speech patterns.

Feeblemindedness.

The flat chest.

The complete lack of humility or grace.

Inability to act.

etc., etc.

I think any one of us can think of even a dozen more things about her that make her simply revolting.

Jasman

I hope you're joking.


Yeah, I second that. I have a theory that the men that find Paris Hilton hot are guys who are closet homosexuals, she looks alot more like a teenage boy than a girl ;)

No chest, no hips, her legs are skinnier than a Nigerian long distance runner, the only thing that gives away the fact that she's not a male is her penchant for flashing her camel-toe to the photographers once a week. :P

As for the utter lack of manners, poise, or class.......blame her parents.

She, along with Mariah Carey, should be on a poster that reads "Parents, if you daughters turn out like this, you have FAILED AT YOUR JOB".
:)

Now, how can I put a custom wallpaper on my xbox 360 again?? Do I need that Media connect and an XP computer to do this!??!?

^^^yes you need media connect turn on and make sure that you have selected the files where you have your pictures, then go to media blade click pictures then select the folder , go thru the picture you want and then hit "x" to apply to background.

I don't think I've posted these here yet, I don't have a digital camera so all I've got is my ****** camera phone. (I'm a college student living at home my setup is in my bedroom, don't mind the coca cola wallpaper dont' plan to live here much longer)

It would look really crappy if I took a pic with the tv on since its a camera phone plus my 360 is out of action at the moment sending to MS tommorow. If it was running it wouldn't have a pic of Paris Hilton it would have a pic of Jessica Alba :) now she is HOT!

What the hell, here are two pics of mine.

Haha funny that you say that (nice setup by the way) I have a nice pic of jessica alba as my background right now! and my setup is also my room (I'm 17) haha so I can relate....as for this whole paris hilton thing...I don't think she looks like a guy...but she definately lacks curves and other qualites of a woman...I'm amazed no one mentioned...she has no ass either...
Well, I wish I could show you guys my setup..but I don't have a digital camera, or even a cellphone camera... at the moment I have a 51' sony RP CRT and a 6.1 Yamaha surround system...and of course a 360!..anyways nice setups guys! And keep em commin, and hopefully I can show mine off some time soon..

Just got my 360 on Friday and loving it. Anyone who says their not immpressed with the 360, is crazy! Their just not setting it up right. Sony 50' Grand Wega IV 3LCD. This is just a screen shot of my custom dashboard but it's so pretty. I will post some game screens tonight. I think that xbox live is icing on the cake. Game demos for download, genius idea. You go Bill Gates!

I have a 2WIRE 1800 Home Gateway. It has 4 ethernet ports and wireless connectivity. I ran 40 feet of cable to my office, and connected the 360 to one of the ethernet ports.
Then I downloaded Windows Media Connect from www.xbox.com/pcsetup It was really hard for me, for some reason. It was a long process for me. But basically install this program, open your firewall, so the 360 can get through. Then go to you 360/Media/Music then it will ask you if you've installed Media Connect. Say yes, and the 360 will try to connect to your PC. Good luck it took me about 13 tries. The ports I was told to open up was as follows:

Port/Name/Protocol
2869/Upnp Framework/TCP
1900/Upnp Framework/UDP
10284/Windows Media Connect/UDP
10283/Windows Media Connect/UDP
10282/Windows Media Connect/UDP
10281/Windows Media Connect/UDP
10280/Windows Media Connect/UDP
10243/Windows Media Connect/TCP


Hope you get it working. If all else fails call 1-800-4-MYXBOX

Almost forgot

Once you get the 360 and the PC connected. Go to Media/Pictures/Computer Then go to the photo you want as a background, just highlight it. Then at the bottom left corner you'll see it says to press X to set that photo as your background. Their you have it!

More screen shots on my 50' Sony Grand Wega IV. I feel the NEED FOR SPEED :-)

Awesome shots nickerson!! I beat that game by the way. Keep them screenshots of the Sony A10 series rollin in people!! Can't wait to pick up mine this month.

Sanyo PLV-Z4 running at 168" on my living room wall. Note the door, lol.

OMG THAT FOOTBALL IS AS BIG AS YOUR DOOR. One day I'll have to get something like that...that must be a whole new experience to play games on...

Its all just hanging. I like the clean look. I am trying to convince the wife I need to take down the sheetrock and alter two support studds and make the TV and speakers flush with the wall.

Oh, and I freaked when I saw that HUGE Vertical Banding issue you were having..until I realized you're projecting over a door :D

Kameleon Remote. jpg Hey DaBigKahuna,

I see you have lots of remote controls. I have the same problem.

Hi all,

This solved my remote(s) problem:Kameleon "All-In-One" Remote.
Kenwood VR-7070 Reciever
Pioneer DVD player
Panasonic 51" RP HDTV
Directv HR10-250 HD DVR
Infocus SP4805 FP

Nice feature is you can upgrade (add) new equip codes transmitted via a land line phone connection to the Kameleon Remote. Glow in the dark display makes it a cinch to use (and find).
Some folks complain about low battery life, but no problem here.
The display is sensitive and will light up on high bass levels and occasional bumps, but again not a problem for me. Got it online at Amazon.com last year.
Went from 5 remotes to two. (Still prefer to use with the Infocus Remote)

sgibson

I've been pretty pleased with my 360 at 1080i on my 65" CRT set. I know the image would probably look a little bit better with a digital display, but its not bad or a problem by any stretch of the imagination.

However I think this weekend, if I have the time, I'm going to try to hook the 360 up to my 480p projector instead, if anything just to do a little comparision and see how things look.

Marco--awesome pics. Quick questions--

I'm looking at getting this set. Is it amazing for gaming? How is television (SD, HD, dvds)? I'd like to hear your opinion. Can you post some more 360 pics of other games? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

All the info you can share with your experiences with this set would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I'll try to post some more pics over the weekend. I've only used my PS2 and Xbox360 over component on this TV set. I haven't hooked up my Gamecube, original Xbox, or any other console to see what they look like. Basically, my impressions are the higher resolution and higher bitrate material looks WAY better on this set. DVD's look pretty good, definitely better than SDTV which is just bearable. HDTV (I have all digital Motorola DCT3412 from Comcast) looks very good. The thing that looks the best is D-VHS DTheater tapes, so when HD-DVD or Blu-Ray comes along they will look awesome on this set. So, long story short, the lower the resolution and bitrate coming into the set, the worse it looks...

Thanks Marco. Pictures would be great. I am really looking forward to this set. How far is your viewing distance?

Thanks Marco. Pictures would be great. I am really looking forward to this set. How far is your viewing distance?

I am only about 10 feet away, give or take a foot depending on where and how I am sitting. I previously had a 46" Sony TV and it took me a few days to adjust to the change. But now, I think it's great! Besides, I don't believe all of this stuff about the exact distance a person should sit, it is subjective for a LOT of people. Unless of course the manufacturer has designed the optics of a system for a specific application and the product looks awful under any other conditions...

Syntax max a great television.

How and where did you get the LT26HVX for less than 500?

A lot of shops supposedly dropped the Syntax model down quite a bit for a short while. But have since priced them at the regular one, I assume to make room for the next model.
..Someone posted a short while back they got one for 50% off...Seems unlikely but they do seem to be going on sale..

I've seen the Westinghouse 32" 720p set normally at 1299, drop down to as low as $899, and then back up....then down to $1099....they're all over the place.

This is probably in preparation for the new lines that have ATSC tuners built in.

Love my 37" syntax with the 360...and the price at target.com, with the 10% code, was close to what those are paying for the 32" syntax at other online stores. I paid less for my 37" syntax LCD than I did for my 31" Sony analog TV 10 years ago...now that is progress!

Search target.com for "syntax"...

Sounds like a pretty good deal. I picked up a Kolin Syntax and opted out of the Olevia...I didnt really care for the black case as the Kolin has black and silver which is a pretty decent looking set. I paid 300 shy of a grand for it and it was the best deal out their...I picked up the 32" by the way and have no complaints...In fact my parents are considering purchasing a Syntax for their living room they were very pleased with what I got....I think they are onto something.

I also picked this set up because of the outstanding warranty. It came with 1 year parts and in-home labor as a standard warranty...Good stuff, I have no complaints and wont either with this kind of warranty even if anything went wrong. I also contacted them several times and customer service is great.

Here are some pics. My PowerShot A80 does not really do actual footage no justice. These shots are projected on a 92" BOC screen from an Infocus 4805 projector:

Thanks Marco--I LOVE that tv. Just found a new house today. Will 'hopefully' move in Feb. 1st, which means I can upgrade to either the 50" or 60". Might have to be the 50", though...oh well :)

Here's Fight Night 3 DEMO in 1080i on my Sony 60" SXRD (KDS-R60XBR1)

Marco99, I noticed that in your last set of pics.. Is that some sort or add-on to the TV to have speakers as well? Cause you can see the wall paper on the right in between the TV and speakers..

Man, I wanted to post some pics back in December and am just now getting to it. It's great to see people's setups - keep em coming. I couldn't quite get the color right in these pics, but they turned out ok, I guess.

I'm thinking of getting a silver or black skin to cover up the top of the unit but am undecided. I'm not a big fan of the virgin white.

I do love the box, tho. Lots and lots of fun :p

I agreee nice to see the different monitors and setups..its good to see everyone is having fun.

Love my 37" syntax with the 360...and the price at target, with the 10% code, was close to what those are paying for the 32" syntax at other online stores. I paid less for my 37" syntax LCD than I did for my 31" Sony analog TV 10 years ago...now that is progress!
What 10% code?

Heh, guess you haven't been in the SXRD forums, eh? They are called "dumbo ears" or "wings." It's Sony's cabinet design for these sets and a LOT of people HATE them. I am not crazy about the amount of space they take up (including the empty space they waste which you noticed), but I can live with them. They actually sound rather good, and I, unlike some other people, don't just want a monitor. I can appreciate that it has good sound for normal TV viewing. Not everything justifies turning on my surround sound receiver and consuming many 100's of watts of electricity... ;)

How did you associate different pictures with different blades??

Man, there are some awesome Home Theater setups out there!!

Here's a link to some cool FREE backgrounds. http://wallpapers.diq.ru/en/18.html

Those all look pretty low-rez to me.

I've got a vice city one that someone did off the PC in 1600x1200 I think, and it scales pretty well.

1024x768 is low res? I thought it was high, how many mega pixels is that on a digital camera? Also where can I get some Hi-res ones?

I didn't. They were just taken at different times after I changed the background picture :)

R2D2 in the corner! nice collection of dvds!

Very nice setup here. I really enjoy looking at everyone else's to get idea's and stuff. Keep it up!

Love them A10 shots. Keep them comin'

Here's my setup....just got the 360 Friday. It rocks! Not the best pictures, should have used a tripod. And the lighting isn't the best with 500 watts of reef aquarium lighting next to the entertainment center.

The surround system is a cheapo HTIB...audio is definitely my next upgrade.

THe light streaming in from behind the TV with the closed shade really makes that in-car shot of driving the Enzo look awesome :)

What display is that..what size, I mean...

I hadn't really noticed that...the intensity of the light from the aquarium matches the intensity of the background in PGR. It is pretty cool. The display is a 42" plasma (LG 42PX5D).
