I don't really see the point at running the dashboard at such a high resolution when the xbox's limited memory really slows everything down, esp. if you're using MC360. I'll usu. run my videos in NTSC 16:9 as well since I watch a lot of standard definition, broadcast tv using xbmc as a set-top box. If I watch a movie I'll set the videos to 1080i tho MS was really ahead of the game in high-def with the original xbox, it rocks QUOTE(seven5 @ Dec 5 2006, 11:07 PM) Hi guys. I'm an experienced XBMC user, I've been running it for years now, and I'm finally buying my first HDTV. I'm looking at picking up one of the new Samsung 1080p 40" LCDs. I know I'm not going to get 1080p out of the xbox and from what I hear, 1080i isn't going to happen without a ram upgrade. So it looks like I'll just run it at 720p. Now, is the 1080i slowdown problem just with the interface? Or can I watch my movies at a higher resolution that the GUI is running? How well is the upconverting with xbmc? I figured that upconverting hte movies to 1080i would be pushing it a bit much anyways, so i figured i'd just stick to 720p. Does anyone have any experience with really good upconverting dvd players? How does Xbmc compare? I've got an older Sony Trinitron 27" crt i'll be replacing. its a great little TV, and xbmc's picture is great on it. Most of my content consists of Tv shows @ 624x352 and movies @ 640x* and some 576x. How well can I expect these to look. With my current tv, these look great. I'd hate to buy a great new tv just to have all my content look crappy on it. Thanks for the help guys! 1080i slowdowns are only with the interface, watching movies is great. Of course that's only for upconverting, if it's 1080 native there's no way it's going to work.. This post has been edited by understood*: Dec 24 2006, 07:46 AM
