Hi Guys,
My Xbox (~2yrs old) gave me the RRoD. It's the old model, and I have been burning to get new model with the HDMI. So this was good excuse. (Still plan to repair/swop the old one - cant remember when or where I bought it, and definetly dont have the proof of purchase anymore, neither the original packaging)
So now I my new XBox with HDMI-an-all.
Here's my problem:
When I set the new xbox to 1080p, there is a strange yet very irritating flicker every now and then, if you blink you wont see it, but you do and its very annoying.
What would cause this? I can't remember if I ever set my old xbox to 1080p I never changed settings for years on the thing.
When I put it on 1080i, 720p the flicker seems to go away.
Even tried another component cable - same thing.
When I use a HDMI cable, its seems I can only select 1080i, 1080p is grayed out. Is this Xbox, cable or TV? Don't really understand it. Oh and on the HDMI cable the flicker does not happen, but it could be because its only running at 1080i?
When I use the VGA cable and set the resolution to 1920x1080 there is also no flicker. When using this setup, is this effectively Progressive or Interlaced?
So in summary:
Why is there flicker on component at 1080p?
Why can't I select 1080p on HDMI?
Is VGA progressive or interlaced at 1920x1080 resolution?
Thanks for any advice/suggestions in advance.

Component is a analog signal hence it cant detect your displays highest settings. HDMI is a digital signal.
