1680 x 1050

i heard a while back about there being a dashboard update to allow this setting on the list of resoloutions...anyone heard anything about it because it seems most people with widescreen monitors above 20" have this as their native res! come on MS do sumfing about it!

anyway another question is this... i currently have my monitor set to 1280 x 1024 but i heard that 1360 x 768 is better for widescreen monitors? i have a 20" widescreen monitor with 1680 x 1050 res btw... i heard that 1280 x 1024 makes the image look a bit squashed? is this true?!!

does that mean i would also have jaggies??

Someone help me out here.  I am soo lost.  My LCD's native resolution is 1360 x 768.  I use component cables, therefore the image is slightly stretched in both dimensions.  VGA solves this?  I feel like an idiot... can anybody tell me if I should be using my VGA hookup in the back of my TV? pizzavideogames

my HDTV has the same resolution and i don't have any stretching, but very minor jaggies in some games, but using a VGA cable will be better than component.

Have you checked you settings? First make sure the switch on the component cable is set to HDTV, then go into your systems blade in the dashboard. Select display and make sure its set to HDTV and widescreen. Set the resolution to 720p.

Try that.
