Very nice.  I used to play on a 15inch standard def tv that was super old.  Was hard to play games if you had to read things or look at mini maps.  Ended up buying a 32inch Samsung LCD HDTV and it's just awesome.  Bought the tv so i could play my 360 in all of it's glory

Yeah you pretty much NEED an hdtv, even if its a small one, in order to read the text on most games now.  I upgraded from a ghetto 19" crt in my bedroom to a 27" lcd hdtv and it makes a world of difference.

I used to play on  10" screen that didn't diplay blue very well cus the blue sort of smudged on the screen very strange I played with my xbox like that and for about half a year on my 360 like that then I bought a samsung 20" HDTV ready tv and all is better. And it made the writting on dead rising readable then again I couldn't really read the writting on most games though.

Same thing happened to me. I had an old SDTV and the picture tube was on it's way out, and I simply couldn't play Dead Rising. It compelled me to go buy an HDTV. (Granted, it's probably the cheapest, brand-X HDTV out there, but it does the job nonehteless.)

I have a 27" Toshiba (standard def) and the writting is frustratingly difficult to read.

It's also increasingly tough since I'm laying in bed when I play...I'm far too lazy to get out of bed to read something past 10:00 pm :P

I need to hook it back up to my 57" HD Toshiba in the living room, right now the wife is monopolizing that TV with the Wii....

If you're happily married this makes sense...sadly that's the only reason....

Well, it isn't really a problem to me.  People have said setting it on widescreen helps, so maybe that's it.

Regardless, I bought a VGA cable so most of the time I play on my computer monitor.
