My current card cannot support it . . . but by the time I get the Westy, I will have a new computer, which should have an 8800GTX.
I am probably going to grab a 19" (or some other normal sized WS) monitor when I get the Westy, mainly for Supreme Commander (so I do not have to split the screen in half to have Theater of War view at all times).
Plus, if I end up not liking how text looks or just too big for my tastes to do that, I can just use my secondary.
Oh, and having full-screen game running on one screen and AIM or w/e on other screen would be neat. At least when waiting for game to start or if I died, so I do not have to minimize and so on.
Can I get some more people to confirm the Westy LVM-37W3 is not grainy, at least when hooked to a computer through DVI-D?
That is now my only iffy about the Westy 37W3 . . . somebody said it was the set-up, but I just want more than one person's say on this.

I will confirm for you that on my new rig..see sig below, and sitting about..err.. 3 feet + from the display as I got a new Ikea jerker just for this new Machine + Westy combo, it is not grainy. It is an LCD however, and they will never as uber totally smooth as a CRT, but d00d....this Westy is the second best PC upgrade I have ever bought, with the choice of Maingear F131 being the first.
Ill will be posting pics tonight probably. I love it bro. I think it seriously is perfect!
Does anyone know of any other places I can get this monitor besides Best Buy? I've called all of the stores in mya rea and none have it. I rather get it at a place where I can go pick it up instead of buying it online and having it shipped.
Also, I see that this display came out over a year ago. Are there any other 1080p's that I should be looking at?
How did you get it at that price at Amazon?
Okay. Just ordered my on Newegg! I was getting tired of searching at local places.
How long did it take you guys to get it shipped from Newegg?

yeah give us some comparison shots people.
For xbox 360, what would you prefer with this monitor, those who have used...
VGA or Component ? If using the VGA, how do you achieve sound through the TV?? I could use my stereo but I hate my stereo... The 37w3 sounds better imo LOL
It's a really old crappy stereo...
What kind of HAT you wearing there, It looks like a Derby on top of that tripod on the left.
Hey guys I told you all that I would post some pics of my new 42", but I have been a little sidetracked since I got it installed (busy with work). Anyways I promise to have something up today at some point. I am at the office this morning clearing up some things.
Been running this thing since Thursday night and it is nothing short of amazing. The colors are fantastic! It is absolutely huge. When I put the 24" 2407 Dell up next to it it looks like something my Westinghouse shit out...no joke. Quality is superb. Not a single dead pixel.
I tried my Xbox 360 on it and everything was fine at first and then when I went to load up Splinter Cell the damn thing froze and when I tried to restart it the thing would not turn on. So anyways long story short I went to Best Buy and replaced it with a new unit. I got it back and got everything back in order and went ahead to try out Gears of War. OMG did it look horrible. Every other game looked great on it except for Gears of War. Luckily though I connected up the wireless network adapter up and downloaded all the updates for the Xbox and for my games. When I restarted I went in and setup the 1080p in the console and tried Gears of War again. This time it was perfect. I am not sure what it was making it look so bad, but it was just horribad. The edges were so aliased and the textures were so muddy and washed out I would have guessed it was a n64 game if I didn't know better. Anyways now everygame looks amazing.
Went and ran some computer games on it. They looked phenomenal! I played some Half-Life 2 Episode One, Prey, Quake 4, CS: Source, Dark Messiah, and Guild Wars. They all looked fantastic! What is even cooler is that games look better on this thing than my Dell 2407. Infact they look MUCH better.
Next thing I did was play some HDDVD movies on it. They were just incredible! When I played Superman Returns, Equilibrium, and Swordfish my jaw was on the ground.
Anyways I will post some pictures and more about my experience later.
Should I be using the vga cable for the Xbox 360? 1080p looks great over component for me on this lcd. Will I see an improvement with the vga cable? The sound is fine for TV speakers. I have my HDDVR plugged through HDMI. By the way HDTV looks fantastic as well. Most things are in 720p, but there are some that are in 1080i.Can't wait for the pics. What VGA adapater are you using? How is the sound? I am still waiting for my lvm-37w3 to show. They held onto it for 3 days before they shipped it. *sigh* Should have got it at new egg.

"For the 360 that means the VGA cable, which is currently the only way the system can output 1080p"
As far as I know, only Crutchfield does that... it's why I bought it there at $1200 instead of going for slightly lower prices at other e-tailers that offered no returns.What is a good online retailer to get a Westinghouse LVM-37W3 from? All of the sites I looked at have no return polices PERIOD soon as I open the box, except like one.
I was under the impression the ONLY way to get the xbox 360 was to use the VGA adapter. Otherwise it puts out 1080i
I am not an expert! But this link seems to lend to my thinking.

It is a fedora like what Indiana Jones had.
Here is a link to one.

That is only true for HD-DVD playback (and maybe downloadable content?). Games play back at 1080p over component without a hitch.
LMAO! I need one of those, i wear it to LAN parties.
