Maybe it's just me or maybe there's a difference between the 25" Zenith and 27" Zenith because I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with me. I think the picture on my 25" Zenith is perfect. I played a game of mspac in the arcade the other day and the picture in that didn't look as good as the one on my t.v....granted the arcade monitor could've needed a cap kit, but I still think my t.v. looks just as good as the real thing. Everyone seems to think that the Zenith sucks though which I can't figure out? Are my eyes just bad? :) Just wondering....
Game on!! Brian
: I have noticed most people seem more concerned with the video card than the TV. Don't expect to find the *perfect* video card then hook it up to the cheapest TV you can find. If so, you may be disappointed.
: I had a 27" Zenith ($280) and a 27" Toshiba ($450) sitting side-by-side. The picture quality of the Zenith was terrible, completely unusable.
: Using the composite inputs on the Toshiba looked better than the s-video on the Zenith. And when using the s-video on the Toshiba... amazing. I can play every game without flaws, like having portions of the screen cut off.
: BTW, I also had my DVD player hooked up to both TV's, and the results were pretty much the same. The difference wasn't as drastic, but the picture quality on the Toshiba was still worlds apart. The Zenith looked like you were watching it through a screen door.
: Well, that was my experience anyway...
