2008-07-20 12:32:28 HD over VGA Revisited (Xbox 360) What is the current state of HD (720p) over the HD VGA cables? --- |

2008-07-20 17:56:21 It still stretches the image over the entire screen, sometimes even native 720p games are stretched, too (Orange Box and PGR4). --- |

2008-07-20 18:57:49 Ok just tried PGR4 (don't have PGR3) and Halo 3, both work fine. --- |

Shoot for a 1680x1050 (or higher) and you should be a very happy camper. And with Microsoft adding proper 1680x1050 support in the fall update, it should get even better. --- |

2008-07-21 05:22:06 what i want through VGA is support for some of the BC games like halo. 90% of the games that work, dont work through VGA, meaning i have to switch to component whenever i wanna play any older games. |

It sounds like Halo is probably 800x600 (or 640x480) upscaled. [swagless]To hell with it all, man. Just get a new monitor and have done with it. Most new monitors come with HDMI, and the 360 outputs properly to those via the HDMI with no problems.[/quote] #1, live up to your name baby! Where is my free swag?! If you ain't gonna walk the talk... #2, People buy $20 VGA cables because they cannot justify the cost/space of a new $200+ monitor (or already have a great quality LCD that just happens to not be an HDTV monitor/HDMI ready). You know how many games $200 is? And where would I put this new monitor as surely no single affordable monitor can replace my dual 19" LCDs in sheer pixel count (2560x1024). #3, your post contributes NOTHING to the thread which could be a good resource/update to the ongoing VGA issues :|
As for "proper" and "full" support... you are aware that they were already supposed to have FULL and PROPER support for VGA. So take it with a grain of salt! --- |

Kidding aside, I'd take one widescreen 24" LCD (1920x1200) over two 19" LCD's, and I could use the extra real estate. Maybe I'll just get another 24" down the line, I was hoping my next monitor would be a 30 though, and you can't have those, mismatched dual monitor solutions.. they're fugly! |

2008-07-23 20:02:45 How would you go from stereo RCA to PC Analog 5.1? I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: no. |

2008-07-23 20:25:07 Uses Optical Toslink I'm not sure 5.1 audio is supported thought HDMI on the 360 or not though. --- |

I think all 5.1 on the Xbox 360 is done over optical (and HDMI?).. so I think using your 5.1 PC headphones is probably out of the question, unfortunately. At least, as a 5.1 device, it's probably not compatible. |

2008-07-24 20:47:47 For those who have the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, did it come with a Y adapter? If not where did you find the right kind for PC speakers? Red/White stereo plugs aren't gunna cut it. I guess I need female RCA to Female PC (3.5mm?) for my headphones or male to my PC speakers. (Edit: :P) --- |

2008-07-24 20:56:57 i have the offical 360 VGA cable. and yes, it comes with a Y adapter...if by Y adapeter you mean the thing that you plug the red and white cable into which then lets you plug it into the aux-in of your speakers? |

2008-07-24 21:03:55 At least mine come with the mini gender changer and the Y adapter. I just checked it from my VGA cable box (the Microsoft one) and both of the items are still on the green mini bag.

That is simply not true, you can't beat discrete audio channels, regardless of price point, I have seen some really cheap audio options that sound amazing. Prologic 2 is pretty rubbish in my opinion and isn't much better than regular prologic. --- |
