[Gwizz]

New Guy here!! Can a xbox360 upscale normal dvd movies to 720p or 1080p??

 

[Brawler]

yes.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Only through certain outputs IIRC... Think its the VGA one...

 

[Gwizz]

Ok cool so i guess i'll be using my xbox to watch movies......

new models with hdmi upscales from internally ! xenon models will need the vga cable kit

The upscaled DVDs look kinda good, imho... via HDMI, of course.

 

[Ghost02]

Will the xbox upscale dvd via vga?

 

[Brawler]

It should because of the resolution, but on the other hand VGA is not digital so who knows.

 

[Ghost02]

How would I know if it's upscaling?

There's your answer right there - if you can't see any difference, stop worrying about it.

hdmi >> vga

vga >> hdmi

why? vga = 1:1 pixelmapping in most cases where hdmi very often do not pixelmap perfectly
