Will I be able to play my Pal Xbox1 games like Amped2 in 720p on the pal 360?

[segages]

Before I get a 360 (when some games that I want are announced) and a PS3, I want to sort myself out with a HDTV. The Sammy 26" mentioned in this thread seems perfect for my needs, budget and room size. Being practically clueless about HD TVs until I read this thread, the description on the page below says it has PC input. I take it this means the obvious, but has anyone here tried it and if so what's the display and sharpness like? I'm thinking of connecting it to my iBook if possible. And as an aside, is it usable to play games on?

Try Thug at 720p as well. It looks even better than Amped 2!!!

no way does it

Okay. I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to a HDTV, and the opinions/information on the Sammy "26 is pipping my interest. Does it support 480p? I say this because I gather Shadow of the Colossus runs in this mode, and primarily I'm looking for 480p, 720p, 1080i modes.

Also, can any of you recommend decent PS2 component cables?

Anyone?

I'm specifically looking to know if it supports 480p (I know it supports 720p/1080i).

(a search on Google hasn't wielded any results for me)

Thanks.

Yeah it does.

But there are far better screens for the money.

Cheers.

Such as? I'm only looking to spend in the region of ?500-600.
