VGA HD Cable

[Prankst3r]

ok so say for instance i want to connect my x360 to my lcd monitor of which the native resolution is 1280x1024. So i go along and by myself a VGA HD cable....now here comes my questions:

1. Will i be able to experience my games in true HD?

2. how on earth do i hook it up to my soundcard or 5.1 pc speakers?

3. where the hell do i get a VGA HD cable in the durban area?

thanks guys

I think this is the cable you want to look for http://take2.co.za/product.php?id=532901

AFAIK HD is dependent on the resolution you choose but in short yes - you would play in HD.

schweet bwana! i think thats exactly what i need but the thing is, i wonder if any of the retail stores sell it. waiting 10 days for something i've ordered isnt my cuppa tea

Check with BT Games and I think incredible connection has it..

You plug your optical cable into this cable for 5.1

i played my 360 on my 19 inch flat screen from day one...when I played halo 2 i needed to switch to a normal tv for the update...I was amazed at the difference! 360 on a normal tv looks like ps2 graphics....

 

[Prankst3r]

finally got one
19inch LCD.. .waaaayyyy better than a CRT 75cm TV
good enough untill i can afford my HDTV

 

[Prankst3r]

ok so i finally managed to get the cables from BT Games at Tygervalley. whoohoo! however, i've noticed that some games look really crappy at 1280*1024. Example, NFS Carbon. it looks as tho im running it at 800*600 whereas other games like GOW and Fifa 06 looks really brilliant.

Any ideas as to whats up here ?

Hmm, just a guess, but it's probably upscaling from 720p or trying to "stretch".
