New TV
I just got a nice shiny new TV; 26" Sharp LCD. Very impressed so far, no dead pixels (was sure there'd be at least a couple); everything works as it should although the interface is a bit duff. Normal TV looks a bit weird, but after much fiddling managed to get my XBOX to output Progressive Scan signals and that looks lush.
Thing is, the PAL XBOXs are capable of it and the PAL games have it in, but to enable it you have to run the Enigmah Videmode Switch code to convert the dashboard to NTSC, only then do you get the HDTV options in the frontend. All seems a bit silly that you have to do a dodgy hack to enable something which is there all along.
Anyway, have to say Halo 2 looks very nice in 16:9 480p, and Soul Calibur and Amped 2 both run at 720p which is pretty good. All I need now is the relevant cables for my PS2 and a new NTSC cube in order to experience all round Progressive Scan gaming.
