A poster in HD-talk keeps claiming that the majority of Xbox 360s are connected to HD displays. I find this surprising and figured a poll was in order. So... if you have an Xbox 360, is it connected to a HD display?

Mine is hooked up to a Panasonic 50" Plasma. Beautiful picture.

I think you'll find more home theater nuts on this forum than average, so you might not get the results you had in mind.

Ditto for what Leechboy said.

Yeah, I think this poll will be a little skewed. I'm hooked up to a Toshiba DLP.

Yes it is, a 26" toshiba crt hdtv.

So far the number is 80%. Showing how unbelieably wrong those who said that HDTV doesn't matter in the console wars are.

Yeah, I'm amazed.

I agree that these numbers are probably skewed some, but still... pretty clear that HDTV does matter.

Yeah, cause this isn't a home theater forum or anything.

42" Hitatchi Plasma here. LOVE IT.

yes 30 inch HDTV

Yes, I have two that I alternate depending on number of people around.

Yes

I have neither an HDTV nor an Xbox 360, but I can say honestly that having one or the other would not push me to get the other. They'd stand on their own merits.

My cable DVR/HD-receiver is in the bedroom since that's where the wife and I catch up with our TV viewing. Most likely the HD set would go there as well. The game systems are in the living room. So even if I did have both an HD set and a 360, there's a fairly good chance they wouldn't be hooked up together anyway. It wouldn't be until my main HT set was upgraded to HD.

Conversely, if some game came out that forced me to jump on the 360 bandwagon, it wouldn't push me to get an HD set just to have it.

I'm clearly in the minority on this forum, but I don't think that's true in the "real world". I didn't vote, btw.

50 inch Sammy DLP in the living room & 26 inch Sammy LCD in the bedroom.

50" Panasonic LCD, truly awesome.

It doesn't really show anything. If you were to take a poll on somewhere like Gamefaqs, the results would be opposite.

exactly

Jeremy, meet Jimmy.

I am not saying that 86% of Xbox 360 owners do own HDTVs. Just to find such a skewed number even on a home theater forum shows that HDTV is important for console gaming. It is important to emphize that when you have people spouting junk about how Playstation 3 won't effect the HD format war or others who say the Wii not having HD support is irrelevent.

The XBOX 360 and the upcoming PS3 are designed to be played on an HD widescreen display! Bottom line.

Honestly, these $400 to $600 consoles are not meant for children to play on the 25" TV in their bedroom.

If Mom and Dad were more informed they would realize that Jr can get along just fine with an XBOX, PS2 or GameCube. Sure there are plenty of parents who are gamers, have the required gear, and would like to split gaming time with the kids, but the others are just not doing their homework.

No, how many of these people bought an HD set because they got a 360? Or, how many of them only got a 360 because they already had an HD set?

I think you'll find that, on this HT/DVD forum, the HD display was already there. The 360 utilizing it was just a bonus.

55" RP Mits....older HD set, but still damn nice...

Yes

Bingo.

I bought my 360 in December and the HDTV in April. The 360 wasnt the only reason why I bought the TV, but it was the thing that pushed me over the edge.

Hitachi 51s715...of course I had my xbox hooked up to it prior to getting a 360
