Hi guys,
Yesterday I got 360 with halo and a (official) VGA cable to use to connect the 360 to my monitor.
I've got 2 monitors, one 22" widescreen and the other is 19" square.
FOr the 22" I had to use 1280x1024 resolution which ended up being stretched - the jaggies were freakin terrible and I had to sit really far back to make them become un-noticable.

Today I went and picked up my old monitor which was the 19" which I stuck into 1280x1024 (native res) and i'm still getting pretty awful picture from it, thought still slightly better.

I've put it down to a couple of possibilites (please enlighten me!)
is the problem :

  • halo 3 - no anti aliasing
  • my monitor's being used and not a regular tv
  • some kind of configration problem

I should note that I dont have any other 360 games to test it with yet to see if they are the same bad quality picture (I HOPE NOT!!!).

Thanks for any help
 
The game has only got like 2xAA at most.

It probably looks best through VGA although HDMI comes a close second.

Why are you using 1280x1024? Use a widescreen res like 1280x960, in this case the 19" will probably look better as you can have it at its native res.
