RE: XBox on a Plasma

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believed size was the problem - contrary to what women think - it was too
big :)

It is my peripheral vision that causes the problem. - I played Need for
Speed Undeground round at my brothers for about 6 hrs on a little 21"
and
had great fun.

10 minutes on the Plasma and i seemed to get disorientated and very p*ssed
off.

So all that investment in a nice living room with state of the art Plasma,
Node Zero stuff was a complete was to play games on.

Guess i'll have to get a nice size portable for the Study...

Do they do some kind of splitter that would allow me to put XBox of PC into
my 17" TFT ?

Ok, the xbox to VGA converter I tried actually did attempt to de interlace
the
video itself, but I got rid of it for the same reason. Best gameplay I get
here
is on a 25" 50 Hz TV - anything else is either too big, therefore the
flicker at
the peripheral vision is bad, or else has lag. Worst had to be when I
tried it
into the video in on a VGA card, you could actually see the lag, it wasnt
just
evident as you playing bad.
