Kain Posted June 11, 2002 Share Posted June 11, 2002 If you were deciding between these two TVs, which one would you take? BTW, click on the following link to compare the screen size of a 38" 4:3 to a 36" 16:9: http://www.cavecreations.com/tv2.cgi Lets say the ONLY use for the TV is to watch DVDs and play Xbox. The TV will not be used for regular broadcast. Secondly, lets say the viewing distance is around 10 feet. So, which one would you take? ------------------ Coming soon...

justin_tx_16 Posted June 12, 2002 Share Posted June 12, 2002 Question: i have some questions about 16:9 games, which are? and some 480p questions. i tried earlier with Michael but i was disconnected from you and was told to try again later. ( justin has joined ) ( Michael has joined ) Michael: Hello and welcome to Xbox interactive online chat support! My name is Michael. justin: we somewhat chatted earlier Michael: Hi Justin - please excuse our earlier disconnection. justin: but i was put on hold and then told to try again justin: but that is oK justin: i do tech support and i understand Michael: Thanks for your patience and understanding justin: no prob Michael: Now, you are seeking info on which games support 480 p and 16:9 resolutions? justin: yes, most important is 16:9 justin: and how will this work...i play a game that is not 480p, and then one that is, willi have to change any settings or connections? Michael: Nearly all games support 480P, Justin. You won't need to make any changes to your settings if you play one that doesn't justin: ok, how about 16:9? Michael: Let me give you a list of games that support 16:9. justin: thanks a ton! Michael: Ok, here goes: Michael: AMPED: Freestyle Snowboarding Michael: AMPED: Freestyle Snowboarding Michael: Azurik : Rise of Perathia Michael: Burnout Michael: F1 2001 Michael: Dead or Alive 3 Michael: Hunter: The Reckoning Michael: Madden 2002 Michael: Moto GP Michael: Nascar Heat Michael: Nascar Thunder Michael: Rallisport Challenge Michael: SSX Tricky Michael: Transworld Surf Michael: and Michael: Triple Play 2002 justin: that is the full list of 16:9? do you think that the games coming out should be 16:9 since it will be the dominant format since Analog TV's have stopped being produced by the top TV companies in favor of digital widescreens? Michael: As more people get newer technology TV's, no doubt more and more games will support this and higher resolutions, Justin. Please note that the list I gave you may not include the very latest releases justin: also, on my tv i have S-Video and Component input, i would like to use Component because it has better picture quality and S-Video can not do progressive in gaming, which i think the xbox can, does the advanced audio video pack have component out? Michael: No, only the HD TV pack has that feature justin: were can i find that? justin: oh i c justin: so, i have a 1080i input open on my tv, can i connect the xbox to this? justin: and does the HDTV pack have analog audio output because i don't have my Klipsch DD-51 to decode the digital signal yet Michael: Yes, it has an analog output Michael: You can see more information here Michael: http://www.xbox.com/system/hig...=cat%2dus justin: ok, one more question abot the hd kit Michael: Sure thing justin: since my tv is hd ready and can not do 1080i, only 480, how will i get 1080i from the xbox when it is available since my hdtv decoder does not have but a single input and that is an iMap input Michael: As of this time, no games support higher then 480p. For more information on your setup options, we suggest checking the online manual for the HD TV Pack or contacting our Tech Support Phone Centre justin: ok justin: so today i will get the xbox, (how many controllers come with it, any games?) justin: the HDTV pack justin: and some games, if it only comes with one controller i guess i will need anoter justin: another* Michael: The standard pack is one controller and the console, plus all the wires. Some retailers may choose to sell bundles with additional controllers, games, accessories, etc however justin: ic justin: thanks for you help! Michael: It was a pleasure chatting with you today, for your convenience and future reference, you will receive by e-mail a detailed transcript of our chat, including all site links and services. Thank you for inquiring about Xbox. If you need further assistance, please come back and visit us again.
