The tv says it handles 1360x768 @ 60hz which is what the xbox is set at too but the pic is off centre and fuzzy (looks like rf cables are used)
Anyone willing to guess whether its the 1. TV, 2. Xbox or 3. the cable (my guess)
I have put my PC on the tv via vga and it looks fine, very crisp. |
Hi SiNERGY
I am using the genuine VGA cable and all appears well on my machine. Picture is crisp and fills the entire screen.
I seem to recall that there was an issue if you just plugged the VGA cable in and didn't change to the correct settings when running through the composite cables. I'm not sure if it relates to you but it may be an issue with runnin at 50hz rather than 60 hz. Unforuntately if this is the case you can't fix it with the VGA cable plugged in and you will need to revert to the composite cables to correct the problem and then change back to VGA. Follow the steps below which were taken from the Xbox Forum.
To set your Xbox 360 console to PAL 60 Hz, follow these steps:
1. Use an Xbox 360 Composite AV Cable or an Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable. To do this, follow these steps:
a. Turn off the Xbox 360 console.
b. Remove the VGA cable, and then connect the Xbox 360 Composite AV Cable or the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable that came with your Xbox 360 system.
c. Connect the console to the TV, and then make sure that you set the HDTV switch on the AV connector to TV.
1. 2. Configure the console to use PAL 60 Hz. To do this, follow these steps: a. Turn on the Xbox 360 console.
2. b. In the Xbox Dashboard, select System, and then press the A button.
d. Select Console Settings, and then press the A button.
e. Select Display, and then press the A button.
f. Select PAL settings, and then press the A button.
g. Select PAL-60, and then press the A button.
h. When you are prompted to keep these new settings, confirm the settings, and then press the A button.
i. When you are prompted to keep these new settings, confirm the settings, and then press the A button.
j. Connect the VGA cable again to play the game.
Not sure if this is your problem but may be worth a shot.
Good luck
Cheers
Darren
