What do most forum users have as their HD setting on their 360 - 720p or 1080i, my TV does not support 1080p. I heard progressive is better and than interlace, although im not sure the difference between the two.
thanks.
thanks.
watched KK last night in 1080i via component into a sony 40w2000 and it was great - no reason to even try 720!
but what if it's better at 720p? surely it's worth trying?
sorry, being thick here , where do you change it from 720 to 1080 i, is it just the resolution change in the xbox settings.
Think I prefer 1080i (via component into my Panny PX60). Looks a little sharper. Not noticed the colours being any more washed out though.
I noticed it on the jungle scenes, e.g. Kong Vs V Rex. The greens were lusher when using 720p I thought. 1080i was slightly sharper though.
I'm thoroughly confused of what to use to be honest. They are very similar, although isn't progressive suppossed to better than interlaced?
Tryed 720p and 1080i on my sony 32V2000. 1080i looks sharper but seems to suffer from jagged edges on fast moving diagonal objects 720p doesnt suffer from this. colour wise they both look equal. this is on component. VGA just looks horrid on both my sony s series and v series. soo washed out and soft looking.
Overall 720p wins out for me

I may be wrong, but the 32V does not support 1080i - its a 720 panel... isn't it?
Yes it does support 1080i as in I = Interlaced, doesnt do 1080p though . most current panels will do 1080i even my S series from last year will do 1080i, seems 1080p is limited to 40" + at the mo though
You can always tell when someone hasn;t bothered to calibrate there display.lol
"VGA looks washed out"
Lower the brightness and contast and set the refresh to movie and then tell me VGA looks washed out.
VGA calibrated dumps all over component.

there is something dreadfully wrong with the 360's vga output
VGA shows true colour representation. It ISNT washed out, it just appears that way to the untrained eye that has got used to watching cartoon colours via component. Spend a bit of time with VGA and you wont go back to the inferior colour reproduction of component. Have a look at skin tones over component, appart from David Dickinson you will see that skin tones are rediculously over coloured. Almost ever TV you see in the home of none AV type people is the same way. Component caters well for those who seem to think that the more colourful their image is the better. If you want accuracey you will get it via VGA. If your not using VGA for your 360 then you arent getting te most out of it and that applies twofold if you have a HD-DVD drive.
