Well I was adjusting the display settings via the dashboard and when I changed it from the highest one (1360xsummit) to 1280xsummit else the screen on my HDTV just went blank and now I cant get any picture from my 360.

It was hooked up via an official VGA cable.

Also if I use the original cable that came with the machine (the red green and blue one) I can get a picture, but as the 360 looks better through VGA on my TV (less jaggedy edged) I'd much prefer to have that back, as it were.

ANy ideas oh wise ones of OcUK?
 
Oooh, should have mentioned that I ditched desktop PC's in favour of a laptop a couple of years ago so no monitor here, may have a friend who has one though, I assume it would have to be a widescreen?

MORE INFORMATION
To reset the display settings of the Xbox 360 console to the default settings, follow these steps:
1. Remove any discs from the disc tray.
2. Turn the console off.
3. Turn the console on.

Note If you are using an Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, turn the console on by using the Xbox Guide button on the controller. Make sure that you use the player 1 controller when you do this. The player 1 controller will have the upper-left quadrant light illuminated.
4. As the console starts, press and hold the Y button, and then pull the right trigger at the same time.
5. The Xbox Dashboard resets the display settings to the default settings, and then automatically restarts the console.
