the tv`s a phillips and is hd ready,
it has a scart input on the tv with the red green and blue leads coming from that!
so do i need to buy a diffrent connector to plug the 3 leads from the xbox into for it to be able to connect to the hd scart input on my tv?

Hard to see from that Picture - But I can just see a DVI port - to use this one for your Xbox you need the Microsoft VGA lead plus a VGA- DVI adapter.
But if your TV is HD Ready you should have x 3 phono like sockets Red, Green, Blue and this is component connection - to connect to this socket you need Microsofts HD lead.
For both of these type of connections you need a red&white socket for audio in! which both microsoft leads have audio phono's leads on them.

1 x DVI-I ( 29 pin DVI )
1 x audio line-in ( RCA phono x 2 )
1 x composite video input ( RCA phono )
1 x S-Video input ( 4 PIN mini-DIN )
1 x headphones ( mini-phone stereo 3.5 mm )

Its not HD Ready they lied because it doesn't have component!
It will do HD resolutions though via DVI which is ok for Xbox 360 and using it as a PC Monitor.
The final requirements of an HD Ready screen
So there we have our HD Ready list of requirements:
Have a minimum of 720 horizontal lines
Be widescreen
Have a component analogue input
Have a DVI with HDCP or an HDMI digital input
Support via the digital input 1280x720 @50 and 60Hz progressive scan (‘720p’)
Support via the digital input 1920x1080 @50 and 60Hz interlaced (‘1080i’)

Longy said:Not its not - they should be shot for lyingwhen HD Dvd and Blue Ray is out - you cant use it because no HDMI socket.
You can get adaptorts for HDMI - VGA / DVI so shouldnt be much of an issue. All i do on my TV. But i also have a few sets of components inputs plus vga and dvi. HDMI is not really needed i would not use it anyways as the only difference is it carries an audio signal through the lead which just kinda defeats the purpose of my surround system.
I had a Phillips CRT and was well impressed so naturally looked at Phillips LCD's before opting for a Samsung.
The reason I didn't get the Phillips is that their website was talking sh*t and blatantly lying. They were saying TV's were HD Ready when they had no HDMI and therefore didn't support HDCP which means you are absolutely f**ked when it comes to running protected content from Sky or whoever. I definitely remember they only had DVI.
Dunno where you stand legally, as I said I spotted their bullsh*t 18 months ago but I assumed I must have been mistaking something because surely it would be illegal for them to advertise something that wasn't true.
In the end I didn't take the risk...

No they do it to VGA - then u need a VGA -> DVI connector.
To get sound you need to plug the white & red phono plugs into the audio in on the TV.
you using the official Microsoft HD lead? Make sure you've got the lead switched to HD - and also make sure in the set-up on dashboard you've got 720p selected.
