pc monitor setup

You need to buy the MS VGA Cables. Too many people have problems buying 3rd party ones. they almost never work properly and are poorly designed. You spent the money on the Elite. Get the proper Cables.

The only thing you can do is try different resolutions and hope you find one you're happy with. If the picture is crap on all of them I suggest you buy a real HDTV and hook your 360 up to it with a HDMI cable. Great picture, problem solved. Regarding the game volume, the only way to increase it is through the in-game menu options. Most games are already set to max, though.x-2tha-z

Computer Monitors are much higher Quality than any HDTV. I also havea Dell Monitor 24" and a 52" Sharp Aquos 92 Series, My Monitor with VGA Cables produce a much better picture. But it is true the Sheer Size of the HDTV makes me Smile more.....lol

VGA on Monitor looks much Clearer. Monitors are much better quality my friend. always have been. If your brother is getting a bad picture, something isn't right with the Monitor or Cables.

Thats not to say an HDTV is bad, they are unreal, but Computer Monitors Display Much better Quality overall, Its actually very easy to see. But I use my 52" TV more just because of the Size and Surround Sound setup. its unreal.

Overall Quality a good PC Monitor with a Good Refresh Rate is much better than any HDTV.

Reason why I mention that I have a 92 Series Aquos is because that Model is only availble from Sharp or TV Specialty Stores. You cannot buy the High End HDTV's from Big Box Stores like Bestbuy, Wal-Mart ect.. They only sell the Base Models and Overstock from the previous Generations. If you buy an HDTV from Bestbuy its almost a Guarante thats its last years base model overstock from the TV Company. thats how it has always worked. I can't bring myself to buy that junk. thats also why they constantly put them onsale. They buy the old Technology and sell it at current year prices. They make a killing off selling old Technology.

You compare my Model to the Base model, its night and day in quality. espeshally in gaming.

x-2tha-z, you tried VGA on an HDTV, meh, I do it on PC monitors and it looks better anyways. Then again, VGA started on PC. It must be his monitor or something, I wonder what brand it is.

VGA is nowhere near as bad as people make them out to be, though I wouldn't probably use it on an HDTV.

HMDI is better than VGA. Do that or a HDMI -> DVI (if you're already using the HDMI port for something else).

[QUOTE="x-2tha-z"] You've connected your 360 to your monitor using VGA? How did it look? Did it look better than your 360 connected to your HDTV using HDMI? I find it strange people are saying VGA is better. I always thought HDMI was the best connection.x-2tha-z
