VGA convertor question

Hi All

I was considering getting some kind of convertor (X2VGA, or VD-Z3) so i can get HD xbox on a LCD tv, doesn't have component input . What i want to know is will a VGA convertor allow me to view it in widescreen or will it be limited to 4:3?

Cheers H

With the x2vga you will have no problem with widescreen at all. I would recommend one of these, the picture is excellent.

(Don't forget you need a US or modded xbox also the games you're using need to support prog scan - nearly all do)

Just a slight word of warning though- using the x2vga on certain LCD's gives a bluish tint to the picture - I have tried it on an LG and it did on that. I have also read about other people having the same effect on theirs. It is quite strange as there are none of these problems on a regular CRT monitor or projector (I've tried them all)
