XBOX Light Gun Problem with 57" HDTV

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.video.xbox (More info?)

I have an XBOX with the Silent Scope rifle which has worked on all of
the light gun games I have (House of the Dead 3, Starsky & Hutch &
Silent Scope Collection), but now that I have upgraded from a 27" to a
57" HDTV, the gun will not calibrate at all on any of these games. I
haven't seen any info in the manuals of these games, or the light-gun
itself as to having problems with a big-screen TV. Does anyone know
anything about this?
Thanks for your help!!

as far as I know, light guns simply cannot work on RPTVs, or it only works
on very very few of them.

My experience is that the light guns (on the DC and Xbox) worked on my
rear projection TV, they just never worked on my HDTV.

I thought RP-CRTs were OK, but HDTVs tend to include line doublers, which
totally mess up light-guns as well.

Either way, it doesn't sound good for the OP

I'm surprised that console makers haven't come out with light guns capable
of handling newer screen types.

none of the console makers make any of the light guns...

I believe there may be one brand of light gun that works with HDTV. Try
asking at http://www.hdtvarcade.com I believe there is somebody that got it
to work there.
