LOL, what is funny is for the last two months I have had this monster I have never even used it to watch cable tv even though that is what it is primarily made for because I generally download tv shows now.. All i know is SD is terrible on this machine because I tested it on cspan for a...

Here is a picture of my setup that I took a few weeks ago: NOTE: To the previous Westinghouse Owner who only has VGA, you are wasting all the money you spent on this monitor by not using DVI. I too first started using it via VGA because I didn't have a DVI cable but the picture quality...

Thanks for the response guys. Looks like I will be placing an order tomorrow with newegg :) I have the x-fi gamer card (Now that i think about it my sound card cost me more than my soon to be speaker setup.. LOL.. Not sure if that's a good thing) Anyways, hopefully it should sound sweet and a...

I have read here and there that this 5.1 pc setup is as good or better than most $400 HT 5.1 systems... Is this true or BS? My price range is $450 or under so I am wondering if going with the 5500's would be the wisest decision. I will be using them for the xbox360 via optical and for dvds as...

Fine Fine here is a picture... I took it fast so don't complain :P Just to note the 26" and 32" westinghouses are in a completely different ballpark than the westinghouse 37"... You can't use the 26" or 32" for pc use it will look like crap.. They are just your run of the mill lcd tvs...

Wow, I used to think this set wouldn't be as good as $3,000+ plasmas when viewing DVDs but I just changed my mind. After watching Starwars III and Howls Moving Castle using zplayer with a tweaked version of the ffdshow dvd filter I must say it looks twice as good as any of the $5,000 tvs I have...

How is it? I am waiting till December to buy one although I did sell two of my xboxs last weekend to prepare. I can't wait!! 5.1 sound plus this baby is going to rock as it does with pc games already.

I just got my westinghouse 37 on Saturday and it is awesome!! I too was unsure about getting the apple or this and I am so glad I picked this. My friend has two 30" apples and guess what he plans to buy in a month after seeing my setup? All in all there are some things that the apple is...

My friend jacked my digital camera for the weekend so I won't be able to right now. I just got the DVI cable and it is a HUGE difference! IT IS EVEN BETTER! This thing rocks. There is one major downside, for me atleast, after hours of playing with it I noticed one pixel is stuck towards the...

Ok, I just received it about two hours ago so I haven't been able to fully play around with it and I am currently using the VGA port to connect to my PC as I am going to buy some monster dvi cable later. The feeling of simply browsing the web cannot be explained in words. As I am typing this...

Anyone hear of anything? 5500's have been out for a while now and I am looking to buy some serious 5.1 speakers. The 5500's sound awesome for pc speakers and compared to any home theatre system under $400 but before I buy them I want to make sure that don't miss out on next gen speakers that...

Thanks for the info on that sale!! I will be purchasing one tomorrow... If it doesn't fit my needs I will just send it back to bestbuy and save up some more money for a few weeks and go hardcore for that 60" Sony sxrd >:)

How about playing console games through component or svideo inputs? Ever try that? There is no local bestbuy that carries it so I can't see it in action personally. I may end up buying it via their website then returning it to buy it for $300 less on ebay if I like it. I can deal with the...

I will be in two weeks. I still want to know how it performs with xbox 360 and does it ghost badly in pc gaming? I heard it scales well but how is the picture quality outside of native since I will rarely be gaming in such high res. and is the ghosting more apparent? Originally I was going to...

pics would rock! can you take one at 1280x720 and one at 1280x768 in a game? thats what i'll be playing games on it most likely. Also how would you compare the pic quality with games and hd movies to lets say a Dell 2405? I am planning to buy it in a week. Only problem is the local...

I probably won't be able to play all games in native res since I only have a 850xt so my question is how does it scale to lower resolutions and how is the quality in lower res's?

I am thinking of buying it too but like the other person they don't sell them in Arizona Bestbuys. There is another option according to the avs boards of the Sharp Spectre Naga which is the equivilent of the westie but they sell them at costco so you can take advantage aka abuse their return...

I just upgraded my vid card to a 850xt to make my comp last a year or so longer which seems to be a great choice since from what I have seen from the xbox360... PC graphics just don't cut it no matter what rig you have... Granted, if you are a hardcore 1600x1200+ fan the xbox 360 just won't look...

Wow I was sceptical but it actually works!! I just want to thank the person who started this thread and those who confirmed it because I am upgrading my agp card from 9700pro to x850 xt and if I didn't change it from the default 128 to 256 I wouldve had poor performance in bf2 and other...

BigDaddy, how do you know it will support AGP?

Now if only CPUs were to advance the way they did eight years ago.. I grabbed that great deal $320 on the x850 xt from circuit city and it's being shipped ;) MMM, with all these new games coming out for the holiday season I am going to be keeping busy ;P As for my shitty dell mobo...

Very funny vanilla, if only things were that simple... With rdram and a special cooling system for this dell variant chipset I would need more than just a new mobo... All the money it would cost isn't worth the performance difference at this time. All I need right now is a new videocard...

Thanks a lot UltraCow and everyone else! I think I am going to order the ati x850 xt from circuit city at the link LawGiver provided because it is only $320 and the best deal I could find... Yeah, I was just reading some benchmarks comparing the xt and xt pe.. There is little point to spending...

I have a 3.0ghz p4 (c), my mobo is a dell 8250 varient of the i850 chipset with 1g of rdram @ 2x 532mhz It sucks because I don't want to upgrade my entire system as with my radeon 9700 pro I can still run a third of the new games on max settings in 1600x1200 with 2x aa.. I am not just looking...

While the 24" Dell sounds great I am wanting something that would be great for PC/XBOX 360/DVDs/Reg+Digital TV... I have been looking into various TV sets and I have found that in my price range approx $1500-2500 the sony Direct View CRTS look fantastic however I have heard great things about...

If I am not mistaken it is the x850xt pe.. However, does anyone know if there are any plans or possibility even for an agp version of the new ati cards? Also, has anyone heard of any plans for a GTO2 AGP solution? I want to know before I spend $420 on a Sapphire 256meg x850xt PE AGP...
