The VGA cable picture looks like crap!!

I posted a couple times on here about upconverting my regular DVD's and some people said I needed the VGA cable, So I went today to pick it up. Hooked it up and went to the display setting, I set it to the 1080x768 setting, or which the first one is. I tried every setting and it looked like I was looking through a plastic haze on my screen. I tried a game, looked bad, I tried adjusting my TV settings, Then I put a regular DVD and it looked the same as before. I put the DVD in my HDDVD drive. So why is the picture like this?

Dont use VGABooty998

Also, whoever said VGA is only for 1080p should also STFU.  VGA is better than component for ANY HD resolution (720p or 1080p).

Set your resolution to 1360x768. Thats the closest to your TVs native resolution. Your TV doesn't support 1080p (1920x1080).

As for a washed out image, play around with you brightness/contrast settings. VGA has its own brightness and contrast settings on a lot of TVs so it should'nt affect your component/scart etc. connections.

If set right VGA can look a lot better than component since it runs at your TVs native resolution. Very few TVs actualy have a native true 720p resolution (1280x720) which component outputs. The VGA upscaling of DVDs works great too. You could almost mistake some regular DVDs for HD-DVDs.

Actually, you're the one sho doesn't seem to know what he's talking about. The washed out colors using vga has been reported on many different televisions, some of them very high end. Also, component at 1080p looks far better on some tvs. I've had both a Sony Bravia and a Sharp Aquos 1080p and I find component on the Sharp to be the best pic of all. Lastly, it's nothing about tv'shaving decent vga support, it's that a lot of tvs think the input is comming from a pc when you use vga, hence the problems that arise.

Don't be telling people vga is better in all cases because that's simply not true. I'm guessing you don't have a 1080p television... 

You crying about a little tweek in the picture quality? Jeebus. I use VGA on my monitor and I don't have a problem with it. killercuts3

One I do not cry, I am just stating that it looks like crap, not crying!, and also using on your computer monitor is a little diffrent than my HDTV. So do not come in here and try to flame me son!
