Can you play an X-box on a projection tv? I heard that you can not. What happens?

I have a HD-RPTV and play Xbox on it. As is the case with just about anything you play on a rear-projection: mix things up (DVDs, TV, games, etc) and you shouldn't have any problems.

Some un-informed may tell you not to play games on a CRT RP (the big free standing TV's). CRT's can have burn in. However, with a few pre-cautions (proper calibration, reasonable amount of time, etc) it should not be an issue.

What about front projection tvs? Can you play on those?

What do you mean by mix things up?


What kind of calibration?


Thanks for your help.

Yes, you can play games on a front projection TV.

Mixing things up means not playing one thing 24 hours a day. Do not just leave the TV on an item that is fixed (the scores on a game or even the logo's you seen the network show). Keep your game playing to a "reasonable" amount. If you want to play games on the TV 24 hours a day, you might want to look at a fixed pixal display (LCD, DLP).

Proper calibration means at the least turning down the contrast which is almost always set to high. But better is getting a calibration disc (there are a couple) and setting the TV with it. Best is to higher a pro to come in and do it.
