Many HDTVs have VGA/DVI connections, which makes things MUCH easier....
And many people (99% of the population) do not have money coming out of their arses, sadly, so 100" HDTVs with 1080p support are out of the question. Even in 2 years time.
It took me for a while to notice my own mistake.
So, I'll post now a fixed version what I originally ment:Who wants to plug their console to PC monitor, while you can propably get Home Theater Projectors capable of HDTV resolutions or even beyond in price of big screen tv when N5 / Revolution released?
Plus, HDMI / VGA will be a waaayy better way to hook up the console on that than any component cable. 16:9 100" screen with 1080p (1920x1080) will definately be the revolution of gaming.so, just wrong word order.
I guess I added something to that sentence just before posting, which eventually screwed up the meaning. (right now, at least here, native 720p (1280x720) HT projectors cost around the same as 36" wide screen TV.)
I thought Europe was further behind than the US with HDTV.
Maybe they're not broadcasting in HDTV but they must have HDTV-capable displays? Then again, without real HDTV sources...
Plus I thought the ATSC resolutions were a US-specific thing. As with PAL, maybe Europe adopts a slightly different set of formats?

The GameCube component cable is the same price as Sony's and with Xbox you not only have to buy a 20 dollar adapter but you have to get cables in addition to that.
Also, there is no need for a DAC in a digital to digital connection.

People with monitors but no HDTVs?

No. The resolutions are the same. Hell, 1080p was only worked into the ATSC specification because it was made part of the DVB HTDV spec.
> As with PAL, maybe Europe adopts a slightly different set of formats?
Different format yes. But the resolutions are the same.

I thought no stations in the US were allotted enough bandwidth for 1080p60.
Maybe they can do 1080p24. But stations are trying to reduce bitrates rather than using the full 19.3 Mbps.
More than likely, 1080p will come from cable or satellite than over the air.
Or you hope Blue Ray and HD DVD, as well as video games, don't setting for 1080i, which is a broadcast-limited standard. It would be nice to see 1080p60 from one or all of these sources.

I thought the gamecube component cable had a DAC in it so it could convert the RGB signal to the component signal(which isn't RGB is it? it's it like R and B but doesn't trasmit the G?), and nintedo could easily modify to sell RGB cables and d-terminal cables in other countries.
And doesn't the xbox's hd adapter have a better DAC than the one in the xbox too?

Hmm, seems like I did speak too soon. Sharp is supposed to even have a LCD that does that.

I read that Toshiba was moving away from LCoS and starting a DLP line instead.

Samsung is supposed to have a DLP product available (xHD3 - Contrast 5000:1!) in the fall that does 1080p.
The general feeling among devs seems to be 720p will be 'the' resolution for next generation. Lots of devs are looking at putting HDTV on every developers desk.
Anybody get any good suggestions for a small (a 50" TV would leave little room on a desk ) 720p TV with component or VGA input?
