Hi,
I'm brand new to this forum, so please excuse me for any gaffs.
I'm doing some preliminary research in to buying a new HDTV (it'll almost certainly be Full HD), and have realised one of the items that'll be plugging in to my new HDTV will be my Xbox 360.
The way I see it there are five different methods employed by the 360 in sending a video signal out.
Can you have a look at my list and let me know if I have them right?
1. HDMI
2. Composite
3. VGA
4. SCART
5. The one with the yellow lead for video, and red and white for sound.
Got a couple of questions for you now...sorry
Is HDMI that much better than composite? that's assuming I have the list above in the correct order.
Does an optical audio output give a better audio signal than HDMI and composite?
If so, is it worth using audio through the optical output regardless of how your video signal is outputted? (or should that read 'output'??)
What's a component output? And where does it fit on my list?
I guess the 'big daddy' question should be - In an ideal world, what would be the best way to output the video and audio signal from the 360?
Once I buy the TV I'll hopefully be getting a AV receiver as well (the Onkyo SR605) with the 360 going through this with both it's video and audio, so not sure if this changes any of the answers to the above...
Thanks for any help and your paitence...
