Essential 360 Games?

Uhm, I'll go and check - it's a cheap make.

*runs downstairs*

*arrives back*

It's a Lexsor 27" - can't find a model number, but it does actually say 50hz/60hz on the back.

When you start it (the console) in 50hz, the TV says "Scart 1: PAL", but if you swap it over to 60hz, it says "Scart 1: NTSC443"... It's perfect in 50hz mode, but in 60hz mode its all off-colour.

Argh, for god sake.

So the TV is sold as a HDTV that support 50hz and 60hz input, which are:

50hz: PAL (625 lines per image)
60hz: PAL60 (525 lines per image)

But at 60hz, it picks it up as NTSC 4.43, which is:

"what can be considered an opposite of PAL-60". It gives 525 lines, but its colour is read at a different frequency to PAL-60.

...so I tried manually setting the colour, and PAL60 isn't even an option on this TV! It's PAL, NTSC or NTSC443..!

This TV was bought months and months ago. I wonder if it's worth trying to take it back to (insert name of blatantly obvious high-street store here), as it's advertised as accepting 60hz but actually doesn't support PAL60, this countries standard for 60hz...
 
take it you are using component (rgb) to connect your console dont tell me you are connected via scart to a hdtv

may be worth trying a vga lead if component is not happening to connect to your tv
 
It would appear you are using SCART, therefore a Composite connection and not a component (HD) connection.

You want to be using Component or VGA if at all possible. We used to have a Lexsor at my old place of work and I really wasn't a fan of it.
 
Ah right, yeah I just got back from doing the usual taxi service :p but on the drive I thought "I bet a HD cable would work at 60hz"...

TBH I don't know what's what... I knew scart wasn't HD, but it's all I got with the console. What I can find are:

Brand New VGA HD AV Cable for XBOX X BOX 360
- This thing looks like it has a white and a red cable going into a montor (d-sub, I think its called) connector

XBOX 360 COMPONENT HD TV LCD AV CABLE LEAD WIRE PHONO
- This thing has what seems to be a million cables :p Red and white on one section, Green Blue Red Yellow on another, and the box-bit which I gather plugs into the 360. No monitor/d-sub connector on this one.


...so, I need one of these I guess? Which one's best (the TV has both connections - monitor and 'component')? Also, does it really make much difference if it's official?
 
Oh yeah, you mentioned before you didn't have a Premium console so you didn't get the HD cable (which you get in the Premium box).

Either the VGA cable or HD Component cable will get you a HD picture. A lot of people prefer VGA, others Component. I believe Kreeeee said it was about 50/50, your best bet is to check the AV Forums as chances are someone will have the same set up and they will know best.
 
Another vote for Forza 2. No other disc has been in my xbox since it came out.

Altough damn kid cousin borrowed the xbox not mentioning he was on holiday for 2weeks so its locked up with no one to play it :mad: :p

Dead Rising, PGR3 and Saints Row are all worth a bash aswell which can all be picked up relatively cheap.
