Why is the VGA any better??
Full Fat 182
Tell me where to get a VGA cable for £15 and i will!
Having said that, it seems pointless to keep it - it wont be used
Not sure if its any better, id imagine its personal preference however the advantage of upscaling DVDs and the fact my actual DVD player uses components meaning im having to swap them means, for me at least, its better

pc world...madcats av cable + free optical link for the surround
Vga is much better.
Ill think u need the component for old xbox games
when i saw the comparison of component to vga i thought the colours of the vga looked a lot washier. Definately didnt have the vividness and brightness of the component cable. I know one good thing with the vga cable is you can set the resolution best matched to your screen as opposed to the console just stretching the image
Explain... as that sounds a load of bollox , in the nicest possible way?!
lol when you have the vga cable connected mate and you go into the visual settings bit on the 360 dashboard you can actually set the resolution which is an option that isnt available when you have the component connected up. Its just 720p, 1080i etc with this. sure someone with the cable will confirm
oooo I see, sorry I thought you were referring to beign able to select 720i etc, I didnt know there were secret settings, well obviously I wouldnt without a VGA cable ! :rasp:

Yep that is true, i use the vga cable on my plasma.. the quality is top notch.
You can select from about 5 different resolutions including widescreen ones and 4:3 ones.. up to about 1300 and something x something ..

I use the component cable with my projector because I heard the VGA does indeed look a little washed out and fake - can any projector owners confirm or deny? I'd quite like to go VGA because it upscales DVD's and allows true 1080p.
oh and you can get it for 15.50 here

Saying one cable looks better than the other is a little iffy. It depends on your tv. I have more adjustment on mine via vga input than i do via component hence it looks better.
Some tv's have limited adjustment via vga input and more via component.
Also depends on how the tv is setup. You cant tell which is better until you try it seen plenty of sets that look very dark and blurry when using the vga cable.

Better than yours. C*nt.
The VGA Signal is out of range?
As for quality, I can't make a comparison on them. I know my Plasma screen is only a 1024x768 panel, so through VGA only allows that resolution and as such haven't tried.
My only gripe is I can't set the resolution of the 360 to the native resolution of my Dell 2007

The resolution setting is too high.
What I did was configure it blind, start your 360 up.
1-Press right 4 times to get to the set up menu.
2-Press A 3 times
3-Press up say twice (gets to a lower resolution)
4-Press A
5-Press up once
6-Press A
7-Wait a few seconds
After this you should see the screen, now you have to find the max resolution you screen can cope with my trying each one!
I use component set to 1080i as VGA looks arse on my TV (Sharp X1DE).
