I just bought myself a JVC - LT-Z26SX5 to browse and play LIVE on.

And I think I got it for a good deal at $1448 on twelve months interest free from Harvey Norman. 26" HD 1080i

Anyway,I should now be able to see you ducking behind that jeep.

Nice.... no motion blur issues?

I just played the single player of COD2 and I didn't notice any.I'll have to wait until I've seen a few different games running.

Sexcellent

You running it through VGA or component mate?

Cletus · Post by **Cletus** » 16 Aug 2006 10:07 am

Component at the moment but I do have the VGA obviously.What's actually better?

Though the unit only has one VGA input,I have a switchbox so I can still run it either way.

I'd say component, only because I havent tried my 360 through VGA yet

VGA = Upscaled DVDs Cletus. And a slightly sharper picture.

Yeah i'd definately recommend the vga output. I've found it's a lot cleaner and also no overscan too.

VGA

.....and I don't recall you having any difficulties seeing where to shoot, you are Mr Gun right ?

Cletus · Post by **Cletus** » 16 Aug 2006 03:42 pm

No,I could see well enough but now it's worse for you

Cletus · Post by **Cletus** » 17 Aug 2006 05:30 pm

OMG major issue.Harvey Norman will swap it for one that doesn't have the following issue.

The native res for this tv is 1360x766 BUT VGA max rez on this screen is 1024x768.Lestat says this is not uncommon.Manufacturers expect the unit to be used as a television and thus use cheap vga parts hence the nerf.

So my pc screen is blurry and the 360 won't display in anything above 1024x768.

Infact the pc input for the tv has only two resolutions allowed. 640x480 and 1024x768.This applies to the 360 when running VGA.

Luckily the salesperson knew I intended to use the unit as a monitor and to run the 360 via VGA also.So tomorrow I have to go back to Harvey Norman with the TV and my Xbox and the VGA cable and we have to test the tv that will replace this one.

I've been running the 360 via rgb and at 1080i it looks sweet as a nut.But this will not do when I have the vga cable and can't use it.

Anyway,it should all be fixed tomorrow.

I might as well update.

Paid an extra 300bucks for the 66cm Samsungtron with built in digital/hd tuner.That was a boon actually because I plugged the ariel lead straight into the TV and now I've cut out an extra appliance(being the set top box for this room).This tuner doesn't stutter like the DSTB did and the picture is perfect.

Runs native rez via VGA input so that's what I'm doing...running the pc and the 360 at 1360 x 768.No more blurred text.

All better now and the picture quality over the JVC is quite noticeable.

The model is the LA26R7

sounds nice, good on you

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 21 Aug 2006 07:41 am

How much? Would be tempted to get one if it was interest free... expecially if you wouldn't notice the payments coming out of your acct.

Cletus · Post by **Cletus** » 21 Aug 2006 03:02 pm

$1800...I assume you could get a better price but I don't know if you'd get interest free at other places.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 27 Aug 2006 07:12 pm

Wootage... just picked up a Hitachi 32" beastie for the same price. The 360 looks friggen sensational, so expect me on much more often to wallfuck all yo' asses

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 28 Aug 2006 02:38 pm

Bah, no BC for us PAL gamers with the VGA connection... fuck.

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 28 Aug 2006 02:56 pm

What games? Halo 2 works but you just need to get the maps via non-VGA.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 28 Aug 2006 03:25 pm

Umm... I tried Forza and I think Lego SW as well.

pilonv1 · Post by **pilonv1** » 28 Aug 2006 03:35 pm

Depends if they have a PAL60 mode. Lego SW doesn't unfortunately.
