HDTV For Next-Generation Consoles?

Anyone else annoyed with the fact that for the next-generation consoles you pretty much require a HDTV? Those mothers are damn expensive! mad

They're not required. Tell me where it says it's 'required.'

I have an HDTV, so I'm not worried.

Well, the burn-in is always a problem...

HD has nothing to do with burn-in thats an issue mainly with plasmas that really isnt much of an issue anymore if you buy a quality tv and not an affordable one (i used to sell TV's)

HD TV is basically a rip off. Sure you get a nice picture but is not worth paying so much money. Besides now they're claiming that newer HD TV should have some chip gadget to get full quality. Like WTF? What's the point of buying a new tv if it doesn't have full quality. Bah!

you can connect an XBOX 360 to your computer monitor if its a VGA meaning it has HDTV qualities... I do so when I get my XBOX360 I will try it but i only have a 15 inch screen.

Some are "HD Ready" and some are "HD Qualified"... though not those exactly, they were both R's. One has the actual tuner built in, the other you have to buy the HD tuner seperately, like an extra cable box. Really, that's just plain dumb. Build it in, and make it cheaper. Then I'll pay for it. The picture quality really is nicer, yes, but not nice enough for me to shell out a couple grand.

most companys provide the box the built in tuners often arnt used by a lot of companys, its not a huge deal which is why a lot of people dont care.

No system requires it. Get S-video or component and you'll still get a fairly sweet picture on your standard set.
Me? My Toshiba DLP is the only game in town right now. HDTV rocks for gaming.

Can someone explain to me what a HDTV is exactly?

I don't know if I have one or not.

It all looks the same to me.

(says the same person who didn't know what framerate was)

HDTV has been out for some time now. It is the next-generation of TV's. HDTV is basically higher resolution (HighDefintionTeleVision).

Now tell me that you DO know what resolution is?

Look Tru Slice, if you want to be sarcastic and have some negative remark to everything I say and you keep on trying act like you are above me then I rather you just not answer my questions.

After all you must have asked questions along to way to figure out what something is. If you don't then you never find out the answers so act intelligent or just don't respond.

Anyway, I know all of that, I want to know how you can tell if you have one or not. Is it on the tv somewhere or are you suppose to know by just looking at the picture on the screen.

In a non-sarcastic way, you can definately tell by looking at it.

It is incrediblly sharp.

Now seriously, go find out how these things work before everybody goes on talking about them! sad
