Pixel density will always be important to a point. Just as you cannot really tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a 32" screen or smaller from most viewing distances, neither can you tell on a phone when you cram more pixels in on such a small screen at the average viewing distance.

Pixel density always matters up to a point, because it improves sharpness and clarity, but then it plateaus.

I also wouldn't say any one feature is more important than another; contrast, brightness, color, resolution, refresh rate etc. all work together to improve the image quality.

[QUOTE="Wolfetan"][QUOTE="The_Ronin129"] I did, but none of those recommendations seemed to fit my specifications.The_Ronin129

so, right now i have philips mms321/17 speakers. i am very pleased with them but they don't have the right inputs to work correctly with my current setup. i would just rather not have to switch my default audio device every time i want to use the speakers.

would like a good set, no sub, no surround, with toslink support.

If you absolutely require an optical TOSLINK connection, Behringer has some studio monitors that will probably be your best bet outside using a cheap DAC. The DAC will convert your optical signal into an analog output for your existing Philips speakers. I'd probably prefer the Behringer route myself, though.

Happy gaming,

Budget is around 50$, any recommendations?

If it's for music and sub-$100, I'd go for the M-Audio AV30 (if you can get the AV40s for around $100, as they're on sale at Amazon now, it's a steal). If it's for gaming, the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 can be found at $100 if you hunt around.

Who was defending the 201?? I am just talking about the brand bose and specifically for headphones.

I didnt even know what 201 you are talking about and which companies product.Gambler_3

To be fair, you state in your title, "Bose is totally worth the money." Consider, if I said, "Skullcandy is totally worth the money," I would be reamed by my peers. If I said, "Skullcandy's Aviators are totally worth the money" most folks wouldn't bat an eyelash. If you narrowed your title to the Bose AE headphones, I think you'd take less flak.

Really, though, I suspect you are just using a title you know to be sensationalist given the the A/V forumgoer climate to troll (quite successfully, I might add). :P

Bose is like any other company: They've got their good and their bad products. Their nose-cancellation headphones are some of the best available (they were noise-cancellation pioneers, after all).

I've tried the Bose AE, and found that they sound much like the Skullcandy Aviator, which is to say they are decent. I would personally take the Audio Technica ATH-M50 in that price range as a closed-back headphone, myself, but everyone is different. Many folks swear by the Shure SRH840 in that range, but I found them to sound distant, like sitting in the back row at an outdoor concert. The AE is not a bad buy by any means; they get about 3.5 stars of 5 on Head-Fi, so even the "aficionados" find them to be decent.

Most of the "Bose" hate around here has died down, anyway. I think folks have latched on to Dre Beats and Skullcandy as the new audio brand Pinatas. Still, your statement that "Bose is totally worth the money" is too broad to agree with; the firm still has too many products that are overpriced, particularly in their home audio division (I'm looking at you, Acoustimass).

I'd agree that Bose has some great products, but then, I'd say the same about almost any company: Even Skullcandy!

... freaking idiot lolModernWorldII

So, as an aside, I would recommend not insulting other users. Bikouchu35 is certainly not an idiot, and is only trying to offer you suggestions. Stay positive, and you'll get more positive feedback. ;)

I need/WANT a mic for PSN and those dont have it. all they are are headphonesModernWorldII

More on-topic, a headset is just a headphone with a microphone attached. Your Gamespot peers are suggesting rather than buying a headset, you instead consider buying a regular pair of headphones and a microphone to use with your PS3 and PC (Example of regular headphones and mic). It's a little more work, but you'll typically save money and get a superior product.

Astro A40 vs Tritton AX720

So I want to buy a new headset for ps3 and pc gaming. And I have picked out these 2. I NEED/WANT a mic for ps3 chatting and commentating (I am a youtube commentator) So the question is, witch is more durable, sounds better, feels better, and has a better mic.
