I've just bought a 19" LCD HD and it looks great, but I'm wondering if it will most likely look better using a VGA?

Thanks in advance.

100% it is the only way to get true HD out of your 360.   It will even do 1080p.  The only thing is when you use a VGA cable it does not diplay the resolution in 1080i, 720p etc.  It lists them by amount of pixels.                                                          For example 1080i will be listed as 1366x768, and 1080p will be listed as 1920 x 1080.

Ok - thanks for the info.

This is my TV. If someone could confirm that you DO get a better picture out of a VGA on this specific TV, I'd be grateful.

Thanks.

For me the VGA colors looked washed out, but to each his own.

Anyone ever have problems with screwing the VGA in the back of their TV?
