How do I tell if a TV is PAL 60 compatible?

gaming monitor vs tv image

Q. I bought a new Xbox 360 and my Kinect games are only compatible if the Xbox is in the "PAL 60" display mode but when it is in PAL 60 mode on my old-ish analog TV it goes all blurry and bad quality. I would like to now if there is a way to tell if a TV is compatible with the PAL 60 mode so i can buy a new one from cash converters or something.

Answer
If your TV does not support PAL 60 the video should go completely; at least with my experience of PAL 50 vs PAL 60. You should be running the 360 of a HD display, this does not have to cost you, for example you can pick up a good size LCD monitor for $200AU 22'' - then grab a MS VGA cable hook it up and your all set; try to avoid cash converters they are for the most part rip off merchants. Any newish CRT tv built since like say 2000 will be PAL 60 compat.

Are frames per second on a computer game relative to physical screen size or only resolution?

Im wondering if FPS will change depending on the physical size of the screen
i.e using a 42" tv vs a 20" monitor assuming same resolution

Answer
The physical screen size won't matter.

The FPS will go down if you increase the resolution, from 1024x768 to 1280x1024, for example.
