Yeow! My eyes!

Geezus!

This thing is bright! Like a fallen star embedded in my forehead, slowly cooking my retinas and microwaving my brain!

New TV

It’s a Samsung LE23R71WX LCD TV .  23 inches of 3000:1 contrast ratio lovliness, with an enhanced “game mode” with an 8ms response rate.  Blah blah blah….

I decided to go all hi-def with my XBox 360 and purchased this TV from Costco at a very reasonable price. I have my 360 hooked up to the composite connection, running at 1080i resolution and my PC plugged into the VGA connector running at 1024×768.

The 360 has been given a new lease of life and the PC looks amazing, bright, clear and detailed. When if I get my Mac Mini, there is a HDMI port on the back too, so I can hook that up.

I stopped at buying a wireless adapter for the 360 (£60!!!) and hooked it up via Internet Connection Sharing on my XP Media Centre PC which is right next door. 

Now… where’s me shades gone?

Just an update on this….

It’s freakin excellent!
I am well back into my 360 now. I have also purchased the Tony Hawk project 8 and Gears Of War games and they are stunning in hi-def!

hi i just got this tv today its great with my 360 and mac but terrestrial tv is rele bad - am i missing some set up option?

I have not tried the TV options as yet - too busy getting killed on GoW!

Maybe try reducing the “sharpness” of the image which will get rid of any visual artifacts.

Also - what Mac have you got and how is it connected?
