They were just talking on the tnt about how having to take SDTVs into consideration affects development, which got me wondering how many of you still play in standard def?

... what? Is this the 1950s? Of course I do. You might as well be asking me if I own a colour TV.

Our HDtv is actually an older HD, that goes up to 1080i, but not 1080p.  Not giving up 65 inches of goodness for that little bit more at a big ol' couple/few g's price tag.

I hate it, but I'm a bit of a videophile. I'm always concerned about picture quality, but I can't afford the best TVs so I'm always distracted by small visual imperfections. I've got to learn to just be happy. To answer your question, yes I do play on an HDTV.

Same. I used to have a 61" but I moved and my new room didn't look good with a TV that big.

Sure do.  I don't think it's possibly to NOT game on a HDTV.

There's an HDTV in my house, but I don't normally use it to game (I'm only 15 and my parents have say over things such as that) . 
  
So I play on my 27" SD tv. Some games are unplayable. But hey, it's better than nothing.

I have my 360 hooked up to a decent 27" widescreen monitor in the gaming corner of my small apartment. Works for me.

No, and I'm curious as to how it makes games "unplayable". I mean, so what if they don't look as good? I can still play N64 games without any problems.

Yep. Nothing great, but it's a 24" 720p LCD. Works just fine for playing games in my bedroom.

I play on a 32" 1080i HDTV. For the longest time though I was playing in SD. For the longest time though I was playing in SD which was fine. For some reason though, if I use regular cables with my PS3, it looks really bad.

I have a set up that might not be amazing, but it gets me by. It's a 15'' monitor that has a 480p resolution. I'm looking to get a monitor this summer that has HDMI inputs, this monitor is kind of old.

55" 1080p Sony LCD in my mancave that I picked up last week to replace a malfunctioning 50" 1080i/720p Samsung DLP.  The DLP was out of warranty and the repair would have cost just as much as the new TV.  Thankfully my wife agreed to it.  
 
PS3 and 360 are both hooked up through HDMI and the Wii is hooked up through component cables.  Huge upgrade in picture quality.

There are people who still own sdtv's? How quaint. I suppose those types of people still use wood burning stoves to cook and horse drawn buggies to get to work.

Technically I do game on an HDTV. I have a 34" CRT that can do 1080i but I keep it at 720p.

It's in the process of being phased out but yes, it is a pretty big thing in development/design.

I have an SDTV that I used for everything. A couple of weeks ago though I bought an Acer 24 inch monitor that does 1080p. So I use that now. 
 
And the reason I'm not buying an HDTV is because it would feel like a waste, the TV I have now still works and I don't want to just get rid of it.

Why all the elitism? I play on a 32'' 1080p TV, but my games were in no way unplayable when I didn't have the money for that one yet.

I can't wait for the day a console comes out and is entirely in HD.  
 
I game on a 26" 720p Sharp Aquos, it's pretty nice for my purposes (sitting stupid close). Right next to is is my BenQ 22" LED monitor for film editing and photoshops.  
 
I value sound quality more than video though, and have invested a lot more in my hi-fi than my "home theatre" if you could call it that.

I wish I did, because I have a pretty hard time reading the text in Mass Effect 2 on an SD TV smaller than 30", so as much as I want to read the codecs and messages, I can't because I can barely read them.  If only more games had an "SDTV mode" like Vanquish.
