Samsung F71 and Xbox 360

January 24th, 2007

Take a 40″ Samsung F71 (LE40F71BX) 1080p LCD TV and mix it with a XBOX 360 - the result?

Frankly, pretty damn good. It’s often dependent on the game in question but so far it’s difficult to not be impressed with the combination.

For those of you thinking this will be ultra amazing, you may be a bit dissapointed - the graphics were pretty good but for me personally, they didnt hold a patch to a PC game running at full 1080p resolution. I haven’t played with the XBOX enough yet to give any meaningful blurb about it apart from the sound is amazing and the screen holds up really well when running games.

I also noticed the LE40F71BX is now available for around £1200-1300 which is reasonably annoying - but I think i’ve had a few hundred quids worth out of it so far

After seeing the TV my parents are now on the big screen hunt and despite my arguments they are probably going for a 42″ Pioneer Plasma (The Pioneer PDP 427XD). Reviews are pretty good and since they’ll be doing the TV thing more than any PC stuff I can understand..
