[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 3967580, member: 20741"] Ok, for many of you this is old news and a matter of "of course". For me, the coolness of Full HD is a new experience, brought to me this holiday by Mrs. Santa (portrayed in this case by my lovely wife). I received a Sony 40" 1080P LCD TV with wall unit this Xmas. I have had a 480p projector (runs at XGA res) which I have used from time to time in the past as a large screen gaming rig. Add in a pretty solid technical understanding of the game creation and resolution/rendering process, I thought I knew all about it. Gaming on the projector at a decent resolution has had its moments, but never moments of the jaw dropping wowness that has assaulted my eyes and ears over the past few days in full HD. I have been watching [I]Assassin's Creed[/I] initially at 720p and then in upscaled 1080p. (Watching as the aforementioned Mrs. Santa has been doing the playing:)) All I can say is: [COLOR=SandyBrown][B]WOW[/B][/COLOR]. Yes. I knew it would look good. Seeing as I have a 100" screen via front projector and a home theatre 7.1 surround sound set up, the home theatre angle of getting an HDTV has always been secondary to us (It's not that we don't like it, rather, we like it so much we already have a front screen projector). Accordingly, with this HDTV, our primary concern was to get a great looking monitor to play Xbox 360 games on. Anyways: the Sony Bravia 1080p 40" Widescreen LCD (KDL40V2500) delivered far beyond my expectations. I feel like I am late to the party, but HOLY CRAP, do some of these games ever look freakin spectacular. Short strokes: If you don't have one and you've been on the fence - get one. You will be blown away at the difference in picture quality on the 360. [/QUOTE]
