Well, I just got myself a new 40in XBR 1080P Sony HDTV.  I felt lucky to have a nice piece of HD equipment to go with my 360 and PS3.  But I am curious...  how many people out there are still using SDTV.  And what does the game look like on it.  Please sent me a image of the game itself you can.

Gears of War looks great on both SDTV and HDTv, so yeah, but i'd still recomend HDTV.

I've got a 20 inch Citizen SDTV and Gears looks great.  I'll get an HDTV when they become affordable because I think $1000 Canadian(+14% tax) is too much for a 32 inch TV.  I'd maybe find it more worth the money if I used my TV for more than just playing videogames.

I have a SD tv in my room and a HD tv in the living room, everything still looks good on SD, but on HD the image is cleaned up more, more details in the graphics. I play on the SD most.

I have a Philips 37pf9731D/10 full HDTV. Yes the picture on an hdtv is really nice especially for movies. But i still have doubt if the gaming industrie is ready for hdtv. You clearly see more detail in games, but you also see more clearly the graphical "faults" in a game, while on an sdtv you see the "faults" not that good. Don't get me wrong, i love hdtv gaming.

I got mine a couple of weeks ago, and I've never played it on a HDTV. And I don't know anyone with a HDTV either. I figure it doesn't matter yet, because I don't know what I'm missing out on. Is it that different? I mean, even on an SDTV, my 360 still looks a hell of a lot better than my Wii does in terms of graphics. Does anyone have any comparitive screenshots? Like two identical screens, one from an SD and one from a HD?

I'd use my computer monitor before I'd use my SDTV. I did actually use my 20.5 inch monitor before I got my 42 inch HDTV last month. I can see how the 360 wouild still look better than last gen on an sdtv though.

I still have an SDTV and i have to wait till May till my family gets a HDTV. I still reckon everything looks awsome. One time though i had to play PGR3 on 50hz. It made me appreciate 60hz.

My friend told me that some major store (futureshop Possibly) is selling a 52" Sharp HDTV for $2000 CADs so if your looking for bang for your buck go with that. Or just wait till boxing day, this year had some rediculus sales on HDTVs.

Here's one:

(dont forget to zoom) Here's another one;

Don't forget you'll notice a bigger difference when you go from a small SDTV to a big HDTV like I did.

I have a 27 inch SDTV from Sharp and it runs rather well, much better than any of the crappy SDTVs my brother or parents have at home. Not high def like my cousin's LCD monitor or other pictures I've seen, but it is quite passable still. Except when reading the text in Dead Rising...

Whats' worse is when you have an OLD SDTV. Al the colors are fragged, the tints are aweful, and if its dark or bright I can't see dick. I have a smaller, but much newer SDtv with actual av inputs, that looks much better. I just hope my 360 lasts until HD time. Thankfully the girl has also developed a liking for 42" plasma, so it may happen eventually...
