Xbox 360 VGA

Fortyseven · 2 Nov 2007 at 00:06

Does the Xbox 360 VGA cable output 1080p because any site I have found selling it suggests it does not.

I was thinking this could be due to the fact that the 360 didn't do 1080p until an update and now both the cable and the 360 do. Is that a fair assumption or can it just not do it?

Sorry if it has been asked before, I did look.

It does.

I can confirm that it does.

Yes, it does.

Thanks a lot.

If your buying, make sure its the official one though. The 3rd party ones really do suck.

It will do it as long as your TV can do 1080P over VGA (assuming you are using a TV and not a monitor). Some TV's cant and will only do 1080P over HDMI or component.

I don't know if it does, but I don't have the TV yet, so I can check when it arrives.

See this thread - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17761319 they confirm that it does 1080p over VGA, so you may as well order the VGA cable if you haven't already (I don't remember what you said you ordered earlier

).

Really? i can see quite a difference, I prefer VGA over component and HDMI, the graphics seem a lot smoother i.e less jaggies! The colors seems right also as i find them to bright/vibrant with component/HDMI

It very much depends on your tv/display..

On my glorified PC monitor, VGA looks much better then Component, in fact component looks a bit meh in comparison, on my Sharp 42" 1080p LCD component looks uber crisp and clear..

On a 720p tv it certainly made a difference, as you could set the rez to match the TV(from the normal 1280x720p to 1369x768).

On a full HD TV(1080p)though i couldnt tell much difference at first. But now that ive played with the settings a bit. VGA seems to have better image quality than component.

Ok, now that is sorted, what is the best HDMI cable to get for the PS3, is it worth buying a really expensive one?
