Xbox 360 - PC Monitor. Fuzzy text?

Drake5 · 1 Feb 2013 at 22:33

Got my 27" BenQ monitor today for my 360. Love it so far. One thing I've noticed is that on the Xbox dashboard when I press the home button on my pad, the text is rather fuzzy on the pop-up menus. Everything else looks fine, just wondering if I've got something collaborated wrong or is it normal to be slightly fuzzy?

Cheers

I just bought a new TV a couple of months ago and the text on the guide is fuzzy for me too. Sky is pin sharp and the XMB on my PS3 looks sharp as well. Is the Xbox dash just low res or something?

When I had an Xbox 360, I vaguely remember that you can choose the resolution somewhere in the menus, maybe it hasn't auto-detected 1080p.

Just the nature of the 360 dash unfortunately, text rendering has always been poor.

So its nothing to do with the display then

My monitor is fuzzy, but my TV is sharp.

and most is unreadable on anything that's small and not HD

It's not unusual. TVs at typical viewing distance just mask it better than a monitor.

Panny plasma = Awesome
Dell 24" = fuzzy as ****

Nope. The 360 interface doesn't seem to scale well to 1080p, it always looks a mess.
