gaming monitor vs tv image
Peter
I want to buy a Playstation 3, but I keep on hearing people saying that on a normal TV the graphics are similar PS2 graphics. I would like to know whether that's true. And are XBox 360 graphics better?
Thanx a lot.
Answer
The People are wrong. Yes, it will look crappy compared to a HD TV/Monitor, but it still has way better graphics than PS2. The problem with a normal TV is mainly the pixels and the resolution. With such big pixels, the picture builds up with rainbow colors because the pixels are so big. Multiple colors are stranded in one large pixel. With HD TV, the Res is much bigger, stretching the picture for widescreen effect. and the pixels are much smaller, so it looks a lot more cleaner.
So, if you want to play PS3 games right now without a HD TV, great. Just know you are not going to get as great graphics as you would on a HD. If you have a monitor, you can hook PS3 up to it. Make sure your monitor has a DVI cable in the back. If you do, great. Go to a local electronic sore and find a DVI to HDMI cable. Now you just need to worry about sound. I got wireless headphones that connect to my PS3 with Fiber Optics. That also give me true sound.
P.S.
PS3 over Xbox (graphics provided as well):
1. Free internet use (Xbox you have to pay for live...)
2. Online store ( lots of games, demos, movies and more to download.)
3. Blu-Ray (Xbox got screwed with their HD DVD)
4. Built-in Wierless internet (You have to buy an adapter for Xbox)
5. Can have multible OS (Ubuntu 8.0!)
6. Qore: Like IGN for PS3 (I use it for latest update for games and Beta releases)
7. PS3 Home. Interactive Sim ( not out yet, but it will be sick. You can build your own house, and play tons of games with your friends. There will we a lot of features for PS3 Home.)
8. Metal Gear 4 ( Best story line ever!)
9. SOCOM: Confrontation (Best online game ever!)
10. Web Cam for PS3 for chat use (Use cam with friends and chat away. It also has built-in audio)
11. Can use Keyboard and Mouse for PS3 (use to browes the web and chat durring games. also can use for your other OS)
12. Web Browser (Xbox does not have one)
13. Light controller taht fit right in your hands (Love it because they charge fast and they are sooo light!)
14. Media (can use most memory cards to transfer files) SD CARD
15. External HDD with FAT32 (Has to be FAT32 I am afraid . But works)
16. Backwards compatible with PS1 and PS2 if you dont get 40GB
and much more!
Graphics:
PS3 and Xbox: Same graphics
Wii: Crappy graphics
Wii and PS3 have movement control. For PS3, you can move your controller around to interact with some games. I use it for Ghost Recon. When I get into fire, I jolt my controller forward making my guy slide to the ground for cover. Also Warhak, you can control flight by moving controller.

What kind of HDTV is the best for gaming?
Michael
I am curious as to what kind of HDTV (Plasma, LCD, DLP) is the best for gaming. Of the TV's I've played on, most of them have a noticeable response time (time from button press to action happening on screen). This really limits how well an FPS can be played.
To this point i've stuck with playing my 360 on my computer monitor, but really want to get an HDTV. Are there any TV's out there that have great response times?
Answer
CRT's probably are the fastest in terms of response time, but they lack true High Definition which most gamers like. From my use of all 3 technologies, LCD, Plasma and DLP, the fastest response times still come from a Plasma television. The newer LCD's are catching up, but Plasma still beats them IMHO. If you want, you can check out some review articles on Plasma vs. LCD at the website I refer to below. I have bought a Plasma based on their reviews myself.
