Dashboard update and VGA cable resolutions options

duncan888 · 31 Oct 2006 at 13:47

With the new dashboard update supporting 1080p, are there new resolution options when a VGA cable is used?

Can someone using a VGA cable with the update post a screenshot, or post a list of resolutions.

Thanks

Yup what kree said, shame they didn't have 1680x1050.

Which is highly annoying IMHO. Also, I imagine people with a 22" CRT must not be to happy that there is no 1600x1200 option either.

I am hoping they release a patch for this pretty soon, I want that 1680

Yeah, then my 2007wfp would be sorted.

I must admit, and as nit-picking as this is going to sound, I think this is an large oversight by MS.

To have a massive glut of just about every resolution that you could want (and I would argue, some that you probablly don't) I find it odd that the following were missing:

1440x900
1600x1200
1680x1050

Why such a large jump from 1366x768 to 1920? It's probablly the only thing that I have been disappointed with so far on the 360 :/

We can only hope that MS include 16:10 resolutions in the Spring update. They've pretty much got all the 16:9 ones covered now.

What TV/Monitor size suits this resolution best?

I have a 32" HD TV, should I change my res to the above new one?

Head there, Read Jumpurs post, its about 1/3rd of the way down, where he qoutes from the xbox.com feature list.

As for HDTV users, unless you have a 1080P TV which you probablly don't (maybe 1 percent of the UK has) then leave it at 1366x768 OR 1280x720.

Read up on your particular TV to find the max resolution it can support, if you aren't sure, post the model here and someone will have a look for you.
