It makes a horrible crackleing sound whenevr white show up on it. Whenever I pick up a health pack it does it or when it says MICROSOFT when you start the game. I'm gonna try to convince my parents to buy a bigger T.V. for down stairs and I'll take the one we have now. That way I don't have to buy one. What kind of T.V. should we get? We have a 19 inch downstairs and we'd like something a little bigger but not gigantic. What brand should we buy? We need something that isn't too expensive but won't crap out in six months.

Just get an adaptor so you can play on a CRT monitor. CRTs > most TVs.

Or since you have a PC monitor, if its of good size, try a VGA monitor, they rule of awesomeness.

Try a JVC I'd say at least a 21 inch (27 is better though) That's what we have in the back room and it's alright but not great. It sucks for playing anymore than 2 player Halo but your not going to be playing it cuz the new one will be downstairs and not in your room. Anywho I suggest a JVC that's at least a 21 inch.

Get a Direct View HDTV. Why?

Lifespan
LCD=50,000 to 75,000 hours
Plasma tv=about 25,000 hours
Direct View=? they last forever

Plus if you live below a certian elevation or above i dont remeber it can take even more hours of the plasma.

I know him and have been to his house to play Halo and I very much doubt that his parents are just going to go out and pay a fair sum of money for a new Direct View HDTV.
