Author 360 on a 20" screen

Currnetly only have a standard (not even wide screen) 21" tv and the 360 is
so unplayable on it (can't read text) I don't even have it connected
anymore.

Dell are doing a special on a 20.1"widescreen flat panel for under 500 euro
(1680x1050) and I was wondering if anyone is playing on this size screen?
Is it just too small or have you any comments on it?

Can't really affort to splash out a grand on a bigger screen.

thanks for any feedback

I have a friend that plays his on a Dell 24" screen and says it looks mighty
impressive.

I currently play on a 42" plasma. It's fine if you are sitting 10 ft from
it. If you get too close, it's hard to play.

yeah but I wonder if 20 is too small? 24" sounds good but its well over a
grand!!

I'll take that 42" plasma off your hands though ;)

I believe Dell just lowered the prices of many of their big flat panels.

Hey Yoshi -

Can you ask your friend what adaptors, if any, he had to buy to hook his
xBox360 to his Dell 24" LCD?
