Time to buy an XBOX360? - Page 49

Well I got a VGA cable of the bay for £7 and use it on a 15" monitor which is nothing compared to your screen but yes I think it'll look good

thumbs up from me

I'm using component HD... is this the one you are talking about?

Daz · 21-01-2007, 21:29

Aye, which looks great, just making room for the Wii

Burble · 21-01-2007, 22:02

I found VGA to give a better pic than component, hence why I offloaded my 360 component cable onto some random metro I bumped into one evening

The 360 won't output 1366/768, the closest you'll get is 1360x768 but 6 pixels isn't worth worrying about.

I'd agree. Running VGA at close to native resolution will defeat anything except DVI/HDMI.

Cheers guys

If all goes well you could have the cable back if you wanted dude

*hugs new TFT with VGA cable*
It might not be able to run at the native res that the TFT would like, but it still looks lovely

No way am I going back to my crappy SDTV.

Daz · 21-01-2007, 23:54

It's not on SDTV currently and never has been

Haly · 21-01-2007, 23:55

I didn't think it was

I meant I wasn't going back to my SDTV

Ta, but no need. My telly only has one component input and that's got a Wii plugged into it

Feel free to pass it on to someone else if you want.
