it works AWESOME. . . . when im playing a High Def game...

I noticed on the XBOX screen with no game, the screen is wavey and kinda unstable... the moment i put halo in it and is loads, the screen is FUCKIN SHARP...

one other thing is that the picture is kinda dark... (like when the gamma is too low for a computer game) is that normal? is there a way to adjust it??? i tried adjusting the brightness/contrast on the monitor but it looks shitty

aside from all i am impressed with the picture... really crisp

I got the xbox advanced AV pack and I was jacked when I found out that I could not only play my games in digital but also in DTS!!! All I need now is a 60"+ HDTV and put that bitch in letterbox mode.
