So, post your 360 screenshots and tv u r using

formulanerd · 05-13-08, 08:29 PM

i LOVED my nomad, but it was expensive to run! 6AA's would burn up in 4 or 5 hours!

thejokell · 05-13-08, 08:45 PM

I still love my Nomad. Just wish my rechargeable battery pack still worked.

SamuraiXmas · 05-13-08, 11:44 PM

Makes me want to get out the ol' gamegear and play some sonic. All of my friends laughed at me for buying one, even though the Gameboy has inferior graphics, but I didn't care. Loved me some mobile sonic

Dad - I'd be interested to see a front on shot of your TV when you've got a game running. All of the previous pics are from an angle, so it's hard to tell if your settings are good or not.

Anyone else still trying to dial in the settings for GTAIV? No matter what I do, it still looks a little washed out to me. Some of the screenshots of GTAIV here make me wonder what I'm doing wrong =P, but then again, maybe it's just that the game only looks good during the Sunrise and Sunset. Oh well, it's not like it matters anymore, since I finished the game. Keep the shots coming

darklordjames · 05-13-08, 11:57 PM

"settings for GTAIV?"

I actually just posted a nice explanation about that over in the GTA settings thread. CONTRAST 7, everything else 5/default.

SamuraiXmas · 05-14-08, 03:33 AM

Thanks, I somehow missed that thread. Putting contrast at 7, and everything else to default, is indeed better than what I was using. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who realized that there was something amiss with the default settings, and that feared screwing with calibrated TV settings to fix it.

Getting back on topic, those screenshots are amazing Tapout, especially (atleast to me) the COD4 screenshot where I didn't initially see the hand in the shot. You know that both the display, and the game, are amazing when the camouflage is so good that someone (maybe just me..?) can't tell that there is anything other than a pistol floating in mid air, in the middle of a field.

lcjrodriguez · 05-14-08, 07:19 AM

Ok, so I've made a lot of changes to my set (including lowering my sharpness like crazy :P).

Attempt #2!

Guess you missed these from the last time I posted them a few days/weeks back:

Here's a link to a ton of pics/links I took of older consoles (SNES, Genesis, 3DO, etc.) running on my Olevia 747i: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...4#post10008014.

tbh right now I'd got with plasma over anything(actually I just did

)

for the price you wont find anything that's a better value. DLPs aren't all that great many more. They are lagging way behind in technology (when oh when will darkchip4 come out) and aren't an overly great value anymore considering they are basically neck and neck with plasma and lcd in price

This year's Samsung LED DLP 61" 1080p is currently $1674 on amazon while last year's 58" Panasonic 1080p Plasma is currently $3299. I have last year's Samsung HLT6187S and love it. I feel it has a better picture than my dad's new Sony Bravia LCD too.

mrTAPOUT · 05-15-08, 09:20 PM

Id take plasma over DLP anyday also, granted you get one of the newer plasmas (samsung, panny, my favorite Kuro). DLPs have a nice natural picture, but the image is too soft, screen unfomity isnt that great and the horrid viewing angles suck also. Im not saying they are bad, but they are 3rd best in my eyes. Bigger doesnt always mean better.

Some more pics

Here are some DBZ, prizefighter, and GOW2

Viper98 · 05-15-08, 10:20 PM

tapout what settings do you use with your tv?

now thatI'm done breaking mine in I've been experimenting but hvaen't found a setting I really llike for games

Cygnus311 · 05-15-08, 11:18 PM

I'll give you the viewing angles on DLPs but as for me, even with a plasma I would still be sitting directly in front of it 100% of the time so it's not a concern really.

spyder696969 · 05-15-08, 11:28 PM

The REAL answer is: "None of the above."

Front projection is BY FAR the best value.

TRD Supra · 05-15-08, 11:33 PM

Thats funny it looks like he is playing GoW 2.

tronn · 05-15-08, 11:43 PM

its the new video on live marketplace. with cliffy at the beginning.

TRD Supra · 05-15-08, 11:56 PM

I know. Thats why I said it looks like hes playing GoW2

formulanerd · 05-16-08, 12:04 AM

ok, so i got a new TV stand, and in the midst of putting it together, and re-wiring EVERYTHING, i needed to take a break.... so for now i'll post some "before" shots.

and i know this post isn't COMPLETELY on topic, but i promise there will be screenshots with the next group and the new TV stand.

Viper98 · 05-16-08, 12:25 AM

play pen right next to entertainment center = epic

"ya honey... I'm watching the kid............."
