I sit about 7-10 feet away when gaming, and yes I do have a surround sound setup.

If it hasnt been said yet then the 420P deal is in the XBOX settings...

yea I have been tossing the idea of getting a hdmi cable for my 46" samsung that I recently got. I might just have to take a closer look at the cables and see if I can find a deal on some monster ones

I think the general consensus here is that the Monster cables are over rated and expensive as hell. The cheaper ones work just as good.

monster cables ftw!

i get some screen burn in where the things sit in the corners and tell you stats in the game, but after im done, i put it on the white screen and let it sit for about 10 minutes, and after that, all of that stuff is gone

maybe I dont play like you guys but I dont see anything wrong with my tv once im done playing and the white screen is in the menu right you just turn it on?

Should I do that anyway sometimes or?

Drgnracin72 · December 30th, 2008, 10:49 PM

i usually do the white screen every month or two

I bought my Monster Cable Component Cables with Fiber Optic Sound at Toys R Us for $20...

Leaps and bounds better then stock...

Drgnracin72 · December 31st, 2008, 11:09 AM

yeah, i have an expensive set of compenent cables for my xbox, and it made a big difference

ItaliStang · December 31st, 2008, 12:04 PM

monster cables are great for analog signals... I have a few Monster component cables for my old DVD players and for my xbox and xbox360...

but now I got the HDTV so HDMI FTW!

We got an XBox cable with the XBox - was in their "elite" package or whatever...

It is about equal to the difference between S-Video and composite.
