A. its pretty good but be sure to take a look at the lag time. the higher the lag time the more blur you will experience.
What do i need to complete my HD setup, and is afforadable?
Q. I have a 26" LG LCD HDTV and a XBOX 360 and i wouls like to get some HD surround sound speakers and watch DVD's in HD quality, what should i get that is not thousands of dollars?
A. First of all, make 100% sure that your tv is an HDTV, and isn't HD ready or an HD monitor.
Right now, the standard xbox360 cannot play movies in HD. I believe it converts standard dvds to 420i to 720i signals. They're going to market an add-on hd-dvd player for the 360 that'll allow you to play hd-dvds on your 360, the add-on should cost around $200. Get that, then you can really watch movies in true HD (remember, you'll have to buy HD-DVD discs. They cost like $25 at the moment. They can play dvds, but will not be in HD).
Also, make sure you have the component cables, as the standard AV cables (red, yellow, white) cannot play any HD formats. I'm sure your tv has them, but make sure you have component inputs (red, blue, green) for the component cables. I'm not sure if the hd-dvd add-on will use DVI or HDMI, but those are both useful inputs as well.
And, for surround sound from your 360, a standard theatre-in-a-box that has Dolby Digital, DTS, etc will work. You'll just need an optical audio cable to run from your 360 to the theatre receiver, as the red and white audio cables cannot support DD or DTS, only stereo and mono.
All together, it'll cost you around $500, +/- $100 to get setup for true HD and surround sound.
There are a few links below to some good options. You don't have to get exactly what I post, or from where I post, but just check it out.
