Playing on my new hd tv

so I just got my new 42'' which is replacing my 32'' sd tv. I popped in MW2 and started a game and to my suprise instead of doing even better due to the HD I was really struggling. I suspect I just need to get used to the screen size but I was wondering whether any of you guys had suffered any difficulties whilst playing on a new tv.

You're just crazy. 
 
And Latin. 
 
Pix.

When I switched from a smaller 1080i TV to a 42" 1080p TV I noticed that it didn't look as clean as I expected it to work. 
 
I learned that bigger size does not mean better quality. The TV itself and its characteristics are what matter. If it isn't that great you're pretty much just stretching the image. It still looks amazing though, as yours undoubtedly does.

There is such a thing as screen lag when it comes to HDTV's, but your probably just adjusting.

What resolution is your hdtv? is it 720p 1080p?

from my experience bigger hdtv's need more distance to see it "well", thats why i only brought one 46" and probably  will never buy another HDTV bigger than 36"

I'd suggest you get your Xbox hooked up in HD res ASAP.  A lot of newer HDTVs add a lot of input lag when playing a game in SD.

Sorry to tell you dude but you pretty much just threw your money down the drain. Most console games aren't even at 1280x720, and I believe MW2 is running at 640p.

Not to offend, but why are you always making so many retarded ass posts like that one?  It's all you post here, this isn't /v/... "

While I admit that yes, my posts do tend to have somewhat negative undertones, I'm only trying to help the guy - because, you know, it's true.  I'm sorry if this fact offends you.

It's far from a waste, 1024x600 is a lot higher than 640x480, and there's lots of other games he can play besides MW2.  A HDTV also has a ton of uses other than just current gen gaming, and buying a 720p HDTV today would be a true waste.  Stop misinforming people with your idiocy. "

thanks for the responses, im planning on going the distance and buying a new xbox so it can be in hd (plus I need a bigger hard-drive), however my intended question was wether any of experience any difficuties in your gameplay when you switched tv's.

I would just assume you're too busy staring at how absolutely awesome it looks to really concentrate on the action at hand :)

" @XII_Sniper: oh yeah, I have done that, it doesn't look too bad but it's still nowhere near a crisp as my ps3 "

I had to adjust my distance until the screen area filled my preferred FOV. I usually game on my computer monitor so I'm used to having much of my visual field covered by the screen. Therefore I have to sit about 5 feet away from my 52 inch 1080p when gaming so I get the same perspective.
 
Try adjusting your distance.

You don't need to buy a new xbox, just get the component cables for it. Those are in HD, you silly guy. "
