Harwood Butcher Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I was just wondering if anyone is planning on buying an HD TV before GTAIV is released to enhance your viewing experience while playing GTAIV. I've been thinking of buying an HD TV basically because I have a PS3, which has Blu-Ray...I mean what's the point of having a PS3 if my TV isn't in HD? Another main reason I want an HD TV is because my current TV's screen keeps getting screwy when I use my PS3. Anyways, what's everyone planning on doing?

Sherman Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Unless my current TV messes up, I'm keeping it. I've got bigger priorities than buying a new tv to replace a decent working one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artur Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Doesn't really bother me, so I might buy one if I get some money together. But like Sky said, I have bigger priorities than an HD TV, although it would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitsune Inferno Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I already have an HDTV, however I rarely use it for gaming. I'm perfectly fine with using a 27-inch CRT for GTA4. Besides, if a game needs to be in HD to look decent, I don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishoM Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I've got one for HD movies, but I play my games on just a regular ol' TV (19" I think...). What I was thinking of getting was a $200 or so LCD monitor, I'd hook up the 360 to that and play it on there instead of on my current TV. Most of them give you an HD picture BTW (at least all of the ones I'm looking at do...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatalgamer Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I have one, but I can't have it till Christmas. But I asked for it with GTA IV in mind deffinently, but with all other games and tv in general in mind too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Getting a 20 - something inch wide-screen (to eliminate 'letterboxing') for my PC, and also using it as an XboX hookup. This way, i can also use my PC's 7.1 Surround sound when I'm gaming... I think it supports HD, but either way, it should be of far better quality than the TV i have in my room ('tis t3h sux) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I enjoy my PS2 & X360 on my 43" Sony (not HD, that's why I could afford it ). If I come across a deal on a HD, sure, why not. I just hadn't planned on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harwood Butcher Posted December 14, 2007 Author Share Posted December 14, 2007 Well if GTAIV is like any of the next gen games so far, the water won't look nearly as good as it could be if you're playing on standard. The water graphics basically look like PS2 graphics when played on a standard TV. I just want to get the most out of my GTA experience for the next generation. I'm currently saving up for one, but I'm going to wait until I see a good price. I heard the prices of 1080P TVs are going to be dropping soon.

Chris Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I just hope everyone with an SD TV isn't going to complain about shitty graphics. I think we'll ban anyone who we find does that My Samsung 26" is great, I would recommend it to anyone looking to buy one that size.

fatalgamer Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I got a 26 inch 720p Vizio. It is the bomb! Atleast on the display rack at the store. I hav'nt watch mine yet since it's a Christmas present. I can't wait, only 12 more days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindklb Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I put hell no for the sole reason that since im spending $500 on a ps3 for christmas I will have no money for a HD tv for who knows how long. But of course I would absolutly love to have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RRP was £550 but I got it in a sale for £398 (double the figures for US dollars). Yeah it does go up to 1080i and that's what I've got my 360 set as at the moment, but it has to scale it down because the resolution isn't that big. Apparently it runs smoother on 720p... I dunno so I'll test it out later and see if I can notice any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Um, Well, my house is currently going to go under some refurbishing so I believe my dads going to be buying some stuff for my house. So a TV will be first in his mind (If I remind him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpilk901 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 If I was to get a HD TV it would probaly be one of those cheap small Samsung ones, good value for your money! But I don't see much point in getting one, not anytime soon anyway, especially if it was just for a game I'm not that mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT:I`m getting A Samsung LE26R72BX 26" High Definition LCD TV Dude! The best time to buy a BIG HA TV is after Superbowl season. The prices on on HD TVs drop big time for some reason. I'm really sure why. Yeah boy, join the 26 inchers club son. 26' inches of HD LCD goodness. P.S. Gotta have a 26 inch HD TV to be in in the 26 inchers club.

Dirty Harry Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 My TV sucks (ask CQC EXPERT) I'd love an HD TV but it woudn't fit in my room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatalgamer Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 My TV sucks (ask CQC EXPERT) I'd love an HD TV but it woudn't fit in my room. Toss the old one and get one. You'll make room. Trust me, I'm having a hard time think about where mine is gonna go, but I AM gonna find a place. Plus if you get a thin one then you can get a wall mount and mount that biatch. Hang it on a stud though, and unless you built the house and know where they all are, you will need a stud finder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelman101 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 fuck yes. with the PS3 games and GTA4, you do need a good TV or you'll have shit ass graphics.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatalgamer Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 (edited) fuck yes. with the PS3 games and GTA4, you do need a good TV or you'll have shit ass graphics.. Totally, especially with PS3. 360 on the other hand looks good either way, but you wanna go get an HD TV, or atleast a high res tv. You'll thank yourself later.
