Please chill out...

He means if any people don't own or can't afford HDTV but only own monitor with VGA then they can get VGA cable to get HD quality.

Whoa...take it easy chuchin and take the chill pill man...

But if HDTV or VGA has nothing to do with HD gaming then what, really? I could obviously see the difference on Gears of War in between SDTV and my VGA montior so...I thought the visuals were really the best you could see with your own eyes on VGA monitor instead and looks as sharp as ever like a PC game. So since your gonna make a thread about it maybe you could bring someone with you to make the explainton easier but still...I liked using the VGA better than nothing.

I would say about big but its not that bad...I could say about 2.35:1 or so...much like watching a widescreen movie on a full screen. Also if you played Resident Evil 4 on gamecube, then you'll know what I'm talking about...since it shows two black bars in between also.

I got it but better than no HD.

I don't realize about black bars on top and bottom.
 
so you are saying the black bars are normal to work on a full screen monitor?

Yea, it's normal for fullscreen.

I just got usually with black bars on top and bottom.
 
hmmm I see...I guess I should get used to it then...hell, most widescreen movies with black bars barely bothered me anyway so should videogames with black bars too lol.

It's a format war between HD-DVD and Blu-Ray right now. It is similar to Beta vs VHS in the 70's\80's. I suspect Blu-Ray will pull ahead and be the clear-cut winner in a few years, because BR discs can hold a lot of information on them. Quality-wise, BR and HDDVD seem to be the same, but if anyone can clrify that, that'd be swell.

It is true that BD can carry more gbs than a regular DVD but somewhere I heard that HD-DVD have better picture and sound than blu-ray do so...I cant say its true unless it is true. lol who knows? I've seen the blu-ray display at best buy with fei ku like last month when theres a HDTV and a blu-ray player showing and showing some movies like Utlravolent (sp?) and the visuals is very impressive...in fact the visuals is much better than in SDTV or even in theatres! lol

Don't twist my words right there. :) I never say vga cable has nothing do with HD gaming. Don't worry, Steel. Today, I will create a thread the definitation of HD with three main topics including HDTV, HD gaming, HD-DVD & Blu-Ray movies. There are three minor topics such as built in HDTV, HDTV support, and etc. The images will be showen.

1.5 How much data can you fit on a Blu-ray disc?

A single-layer disc can hold 25GB.
A dual-layer disc can hold 50GB.

To ensure that the Blu-ray Disc format is easily extendable (future-proof) it also includes support for multi-layer discs, which should allow the storage capacity to be increased to 100GB-200GB (25GB per layer) in the future simply by adding more layers to the discs.

1.6 How much video can you fit on a Blu-ray disc?

Over 9 hours of high-definition (HD) video on a 50GB disc.
About 23 hours of standard-definition (SD) video on a 50GB disc.

Please do create that thread. It's almost a concidence, I had the idea yesterday to create a HD FAQ for the Video Game board, because HD is a term so loosely used and not so well understood. Call it " AD Video Game HD FAQ" or something along the likes of that. I myself only understand bits and peices of HD, and have no idea what the p or the i is for in 1080i or 1080p... Do englighten us, DefMatrixense. Either that, or I'll start the thread tomorrow. :bump:
 
At Future Shop (a Canadian electronics store), they're selling HD-DVD drive for Xbox 360 at $199.99 CDN (Canadian) with the movie, King Kong (HD-DVD) and King Kong, the game for Xbox 360 along with a Microsoft television remote.

That's quite a deal, I must say. Remember, our currency are different. However, I find it strange that Americans are buying it at $199 US while we are buying it at $199 CDN.

iit takes a lot of work than i thought.. make sure I got everything and the understanding of HD era.
 
I thought MS is using methods to save alot of GB on DVD (dual-layer) and support HD quality and superior graphic, similar to PS3 since they are using BD.
