i have a 1366x768 LCD monitor and the closest setting on the xbox is 1360x768.

Will the picture still look good and be in HD???

[emisbruda]

which game do you play there??

[Andriuha49378]

black bottoms appear because, you playng with 16:10 monitor, and the vga hd cable supports only 16:9, but if you want to play with 16:10 you need to buy hdmi to dvi cable, then you will have full screen, because only hdmi supports 16:10, and the video quality is better on hdmi because the signal directly comes from hdmi to diginatal monitor input, and don't need to covert that signal to analog signal, which one is absolutely worse then digital.

I played using vga HD AV cable and gta 4 looks sucks alot of aliasing but gears of war looks amazing i don't know why...

[roelyrep]

yes but its 16:10

[uniline]

@roelyrep so is my 22" monitor.. maybe your monitor is not 16:10 ?

[roelyrep]

@uniline it is i got a Syncmaster 2223NW

look it up

[uniline]

@roelyrep yea thats kinda weird

[roelyrep]

i cant get 1680x1050 on my 22inch monitor it makes it blurry and gives me black bars

[uniline]

@roelyrep do your monitor support that resolution ?

[Snarizard]

so does the VGA cable eliminate lag on HD tvs?

[uniline]

@Snarizard there will Always be lag, no matter what cable you are using. but so far I've never experienced any lag with my VGA

[bilou360]

is the vga betterthan component or hdmi ??????????

[uniline]

@bilou360 well it can be. both support Full HD 1080

[greenlimer]

@uniline If you stay with HDMI the signal sent out does not have to be broken down into analog and reconstructed back into digital. With VGA that happens and there is a loss of quality. HDMI >VGA. I'd say half of people don't notice it though.

I just got one of these cables used from Gamestop. But at 1680x1050 and at other resolutions on other monitors I get a real blurry washed out look. Is it as clear as a normal TV for you? It looks really sharp and clear. Thanks!

[uniline]

@davidswanzy Yes it is.. maybe even more !

[pcman09]

Well I am confused then. 1680x1050 is a 16:10 ratio, and the Xbox only does 16:9, so to fill the area it uses black bars at the top and bottom so the picture does not get vertically stretched and look funny. I play on my 16:10 monitor and I get these black bars. Anything special you did? Thanks for replying so quickly = )

[uniline]

@pcman09 I just used this VGA cable to my pc monitor and set the resolution to 1650x1050 in the xbox settings and that worked :)

[pcman09]

Do you have the black bar at the top and the bottom?

[uniline]

@pcman09 what black bar ?

[pcman09]

@uniline Space at the top and the bottom that the game does not fill the screen.

[uniline]

@pcman09 Game is at full screen, and fills out 100% of the screen. it is just the border of my monitor that is showed in the video = poor placement of my video recorder :)
