New HDTV!

Just picked up the beautiful Polaroid 37" LCD HD set.

Yes, Polaroid.

Nicole and I walked into Circuit City intent on finding a model we liked and taking it home. Looking at all the LCDs (picked over plasma and DLP for price and maintenance) it was easy to pick a model based on price and picture quality.

The only downside to the set so far is no build tv tuner. A $20 VCR would fix that problem, so we'll probably move the one we already have.

The first game I popped in was my current fix, Metroid Prime 2. It looked good.

Good? Yeah, good.

Halo 2? Crap.

Crap? Yeah, crap. I don't if I'm doing something wrong or what. I'm using the exact same cables (component with multiple console plugs). A game that supports 480p I guess doesn't look good on a 720 screen. All my GameCube games looked great on it. So tonight I'm going to take a look at Grand Theft Auto, Gran Turismo and a few others.
