It's...BEAUTIFUL

[Queen Of The Felines]

So last week I finally decided to upgrade my game room and get myself a new gaming-only television. What I ended up getting had 16:9 widescreen, component video inputs, and stereo surround sound. I had to get some Gamecube component cables through ebay since they're no longer sold here (thanks Nintendo ) and they finally arrived earlier today.

I get home, plug the cables in, fire up the tv, and...

Wow.

Just...wow.

The colors, the detail, the sound, the sharpness, the non-blurry text...sights and sounds I had never experienced before. It was like all my games were brand new again.

Let this be a lesson to you all...if you're going to be a serious gamer, make sure your tv was made sometime more recently than 1987.

Now say thank you Kris (as I essentially badgered her into getting that model :P ). And lugged it up the 3 flights of stairs with her father. And set it all up. And connected it together. And finally showed her what she's been missing game wise picture quality and why I always insist on running RGB

Don't you mean sexy? At least Hass to the Hoff doesn't have it's eyes carved out.

Its is a wonderful thing. I'm just starting to use a VGA monitor for all my current gen systems. It does wonders.

Aw come on guys, respect the Hoff!

No photos since my camera's a piece of crap, but here's a link to the exact model I've got...

Not to bad a price for a non-HDTV 16:9.

[SoulBlazer]

Heh, I got a BETTER TV then you!

But I'll second the amazing part.

Games played on a large widescreen TV with component cables are nothing short of AMAZING.

ESPECILY if that game has support for widescren mode.

The first game I tried on my new TV last month was Star Ocean 3 and my jaw dropped in amazement.

Check out this site: hdtvarcade.com for a listing of what modes new games support.

Yup, the only thing better for gaming than a big tv is a bigger 7.1 dolby digital setup with big subs!!

Enjoy that TV QOF, everything should look better on it! I'm still trying to figure out a way to hook my Odyssey 300 to my 57" hi-def. I figure the paddle should be about 6 inches tall!!

[neuropolitique]

Wow, I'm surprised how cheap it is. I was expecting some huge price tag. I ddin't know you could get a TV like that for that price. I think I'm going to be a lame me too AOLer and say, Me Too! Maybe after Christmas I'll treat myself. Thanks for the tip!

[Mayhem]

Which is pretty much why we went for it. Widescreen component enabled goodness for just over $400? Couldn't resist

[SoulBlazer]

I just took a more 'in the future' look and got one that had HDTV support, as more and more programing is coming in that format.

But agreed, for that price it's not bad.
