[maximevhw]

[TristanFopma]

can i use this monitor for xbox 360?

[appletree0124]

@TristanFopma of course.

[DJPolska07]

@TristanFopma yeah my buddy brought it over my house for black ops release and we played all night with 2 tvs in same room....it was fun as hell. it was ps3 but its same thing. and looks super good, better then my lcd tv of course.

[olivierhacking]

So the bottom right lights for the controls go off automatically?

[appletree0124]

@olivierhacking it depends on your settings. You can configure them on the monitor's menu. You can have them either time out after about 5 seconds, or have them on all the time.

[MrSmileyman69]

Is this good for plugging my Xbox 360 to and still use it as a computer at the same time?

[appletree0124]

@MrSmileyman69 yes. You can connect your Xbox to the HDMI port and connect the computer using the DVI port with either the included DVI to DVI cable or the DVI to VGA cable.

Sir, if I connect my XBOX360 with an HDMI cable to this monitor. Can I use my philips headphones (without mic) with this by connecting it with the 3.5mm audio jack male to the *audio out* jack on the monitor?

[appletree0124]

@AgcaProductions of course, but you may be a little close to the screen if the cable is only a meter long.

[AgcaProductions]

@appletree0124 Yes, thanks for the response. The ONLY negative thing about this monitor, is the fact that it cannot be set at a "level" lower than the eye-level. When I sit on my chair, the place where I put the monitor is about 30 cm above eye-level, and as far as I know, this monitor cannot "look-down" so to say. I think I'll have to find an alternative for that. I'll buy this within a couple months I think :)

[gamerboy249]

i am looking to buy this monitor but im confused between this and the PX2370.. both are similar monitors but the PX2370 is a slightly improved version (from what ive heard).. i have also seen reviews of the bx2431 which is also nice.. So which monitor should i go with.. The XL2370 or PX2370 or BX2431 ?

[lerx1980]

wtf?? by us the xl2370 has just 5milliseconds? yours has 2?!

[quintonio10]

whats better to buy for games, television and blu ray

The P2270HD or the XL2370 HD

thanks!

Cause i want to use my ps3 and watch tv on it

[appletree0124]

@quintonio10 well, neither of them are a televison, but the XL2370 is as nice as it gets.

[quintonio10]

@appletree0124 jea oke i get they are monitors... but you can use them too as a television.

So you say the xl2370HD is the best for gaming for my ps3?

[HyShAxX]

@appletree0124 the xl2370hd is a tv

[appletree0124]

@HyShAxX yeah, i'm using it as one now.

[quintonio10]

whats better to buy for games, television and blu ray

The P2270HD or the XL2370 HD

thanks!

[larsgobbens]

IPS monitors are way better altho this one is very good for LCD

[austinpower14]

The only thing i find annoying about this review is that you aren't showing any video or game.

[appletree0124]

@austinpower14 Thanks for the suggestion. I thought about it, but it is hard to show the true quality of a screen on a camera.

[austinpower14]

@appletree0124 yeah i know especially after its put on youtube.

[dmn1n]

03:21 to 03:28 That's sharp BTW

[BIGDADDYF50]

is the blue power light to the far right bright and annoying?

cause i sometimes get too distracted if there's quite a bit of light, but it's hard to tell from this video.

[appletree0124]

@BIGDADDYF50 the light is far from annoying. It is a soft white color and looks pretty cool, but is not distracting in any way.

[cvbdub805]

its really like 900 contrast ratio but its still very good

[gears007wil]

todabia men you have the Samsung XL2370 Adado do not think toy problem ..

in compralme one to play with my xbox360

[vybzshakur]

yo man would you recommend this? have you tried it on ps3 or pc? how are bluray movies? thanks man ima order this one

[appletree0124]

@vybzshakur I have never seen a better picture on any other monitor. I would definitely recommend this.

[steveeeholla]

@vybzshakur I use this monitor for my XBOX 360 but also used it for my PS3 Slim. It is really good for gaming and even better for movies, IMO.

[cetli69]

nice nice, just a question can you hook a ps3 up to it?

[appletree0124]

@cetli69 of course, using HDMI. It is just like hooking it up to a HDTV.

[NeoReloaded00]

I take it your using Ubuntu there?

[appletree0124]

@NeoReloaded00 actually no. My Dell Studio Laptop has multi touch functions, so I can zoom in on anything, including the desktop. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium.
