intrinity1 & magik. Both very nice setups indeed. (Y)

And I could not help but notice how you both have the Halo 3 trailer running in the background as well. :laugh:

BTW intrinity1, Welcome to Neowin. Enjoy your stay, and if you have any questions or any issues, vy all means feel free to send me a PM (private Message), as I am Your Friendly Neighborhood Gaming Forum Mod - Dirty Larry.

I may try to get a pic tomorrow but my cameras pretty poor. for now however my 360 is in my bedroom on a 24 inch Benq fp241W hooked up optically to some Z5400 Logitech speakers. The monitors sharred bt my pc also and of course they are set up so the xbox can stream off the PC. It's only a small room and I usually game from my PC chair anyway not from the bed so 24" is quite good for that.

I'm unsure how any images would turn out and my room needs a clean up 1st.

maxsquared: Looks like jesse is using Component. I presume you're using VGA?

Ye, that's right, i am using VGA... So now I see componenent is better than VGA... But I am still wanting the upscale ability...

Well have to wait until any digital form comes out then.

doesnt your dvd player you got there do upscailing??? or do you just prefer to use your xbox as your primary dvd player?

edit.. nevermind.. that was jesse's setup..

@PiracyX - nice set up there very much like mine but do you play xbox through your monitor? Because i tried with VGA cable but all the colours were messed up big time.

@Timan - that a sweet looking setup the colours match perfectly.

Hey there. Yes i play with through the monitor with the VGA cable and it works pefectly. I set the screen to 1280x1024 and games look great. I really want a new monitor :(

Not necessarily. Try calibrating your TV to get it to match the color/contrast that you're happy with. You can do wonders to picture quality with a good calibration.

Some TVs have limited calibratioin support for VGA. At least, that's what the situation is for me. I can't change the saturation so the colors will be washed out forever. I had some high saturation with component and it looked great.

Is that a system selector box on the bottom. Is so, who makes it? It looks pretty sleek.

yeah man, its made by psyclone, its called a source selector. it has all components on the back, and optical audio. the one and only thing i didnt like about my tv, is it only came with 1 component in the back. thats just not nearly enough. You can pick it up at best buy, or circuit city, i think its 100 bucks. i have my HD box, wii, and xbox 360 hooked into it. im really happy with it, it definitly did the job. i originally bought the pelican one from best buy, it was absolute ****, it made scanlines on my tv and stuff, very poor quality.

Cool, thanks man.

These suck because my only camera is the one on my phone. Anyway I didn't clean up like I said I would yesterday. I couldnt really be bothered. In amongst all the junk theres a Logitech Z5400, of which the control panel is atop the 360. Thats a 24 inch Benq FP241W. To its right is an iAudio X5 MP3 player which I'm using for audio atm since my PC's solution is less than satisfactory. The case is a Lian Li V2100B and like every great setup known to man theres a lavalamp next to the monitor.

Yeah theres a crap load of CD's, I'm currently re-ripping my collection. Those 2 piles account for 1 shelf worth of my collection. It's going to take some time.

    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
