hdtv setup wit 360

[rico002]

i got a plama 32inch for college and i wanted to the best way to set up my 360 and tv any ideas/comments/help

just use the HDMI xbox 360, gives the best picture ,....get a cheap black stand with the arm to mount your plasma to give it that wall mounted look. that arm allow's you to hide the 360 wires.....

similar to this.......

Yo well i do home theaters. so here is a pic of mine... i have mt tv hung on the wall and my components in my closet. thats why the hole is there...lol... i havent patched it yet... anyway. HDMI is the absolute best way to conncet anything, if you have alot of hdmi inputs! Also got the desktop connected to it!

whatever's more economical for you .the orginal cables give you the great picture. It mainly depends on the TV. If it gets 1080p and you want the best picture you should use the HDMI adaptor you showed me. IF it only gets 1080i and 720p..then the orginal cable is the way to go.

they have a arcade 360 with the HDMI built in. You might want to check the trade value of your 360 add the 60 bucks your going to spend on that adaptor and see if you can just get the xbox with the built in HDMI.

but like i said it all depends on what your TV can do.

hope that helps man



being your in college and don't own the place you might want to stick with the stand. Unlike big jew it gives you more flexability to move it where ever and you don't have to patch up wall's.

thats great! LOL..., I am not a big fan of Samsung at all, but its was cheap for me at the moment as i am definatley going with a SHARP! the Samsung had the 1080p with the pc input at the time. NOW i can get my Sharp!

[rico002]

thanks for the feedback...it goes to 1080p so that would mean that i would have to get the hdmi converter and hdmi cable right? well we r gonna use our bp table for right now hahahaha but that sucks ...wut bout the tv issue do i have to ask my cable or dish company bout hd for tv?

i havent seen mine yet...but def go to ur local walmart and get this tv for 547it has 30,000:1 contrast ratio and i saw it hookd up nice at walmart it was really really sweet...i got mine for 500 cuz my friend a manager and gave me open box price ahahahah

[Mandingo]

Lucky with the open box price.

yeah........HDMI converter and cable.


sharp is still under samsung don't even come close to the contrast ratio

i just got one of the newer end's 1080p 24fps 25000 ratio


sharps closet one hits only 15000 ratio

LOL.. here is the scoop... some tvs come with builtin HD TUNERS! for example.. you can take the reugalur coax cable and connect to the the tv and hed HD DIGITAL CHANNELS! BUT it will only give you basic local channels. NO CHANNLES ARE TRANSMITTED IN 1080p. The only was you can get 1080p quality !!! WITH A BLUERAY DVD and a HD 1080p TV or through ps3 games! if you want want all the HD CHANNELS not basic. you will need a HD RECIEVER FROM YOUR CABLE PROVIDER. if you use Directtv! then you need DIRECT HC RECIEVER AND HD ANTENNAS... this would be for more then basic and local channels. For example. ESPN, PREMUIM CHANBELS, DISCOVERY, ETC. MAKE SURE YOU TELL THE YOU WANT HDMI OUTPUT ALL ALL RCIEVERs!!

LMAO ... WISH YOU HAD YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT. BUT NO NEED TO ARGUE. SHARP USES THERE ON LCD !! AS YOU "SAMSUNG" USE THE SAME AS LG AND SONY.... SHARPS LCD IS WAYYYY BETTER..... AND HAS A TV UP TO 50000:1 CONTRAST RATIO, 120HRZ AND THINNER THE SAMSUNG.. GOOGLE IT
SHARP LC52D94U!!

[Mandingo]

I get pretty in form but like you said you do it for a living.

but the 81 model of the samsung goes up to 500,000 ratio..
i can get the facts about samsung taking the AOLED reins and running. 1mil ratio.
yeah sony the only out at the moment.



thanks for the INfo about Sharp.
