360 through VGA not as sharp as I thought

[Raymond Lin]

Connected my 360 to my 20" Phillips WS TFT via VGA (3rd party) and the picture is not as sharp as I expected, the colours are fine, the ratio are perfect but it seems a bit soft round the edges of ..... well everything. Is it because I am not using the offical lead or is it because the upscaling of the TFT isn't good enough ? As the Phillips can do 1680-1050 res standard.

I know the official VGA cable is a LOT better than any of the 3rd party ones, I also know a lot of people prefer the smoother edges from VGA over the sharper edges from Component.

So are you saying VGAs soft edges are a trait ?
