XBOX360 1680x1050 / 1440x900

[MadduckUK]

Does anyone know if these resolutions will be suupported by the VGA cable in the near future. other threads iv seen on the net seem to comprise of lots of people asking but no answers being given.

can anyone on hexus do better?

1920*1080 is supported so long as you update your console. (That's the highest res available). As far as your resolutions go I assume that it's possible.

[MadduckUK]

1920 x 1080, apart from knowing what the 360 is capable of, is totally useless to people with 1680x1050 or 1440x900 monitors.

theres been a hell of a lot of people pointing out that 1920x1080 is possible, so its not resolution limited. and other resolutions are 16:10 so its not the aspect ratio.

so whats the excuse

more people have 4:3 screens, try 1280 widescreen

I've tried it on 1680 x 1050 on a monitor over VGA and it works fine mate.

HD-DVD is a little grainy as it's a bit stretched, but games look good

Hope that helps

It only supports 4:3 and 16:9 ratios as far as I'm aware.

It'll do 1280 x 1024, 1280 x 720, 1360 x 768 & 1920 x 1080 at the top end of the scale. Try 1360 x 768 if 1080 doesn't work.

[kempez]

Well ye 1360 x 768 stretches well to 1680

[YorkieBen]

my 20" widescreen has the ability to keep the 16:9 aspect ration but fills the screen so I have very small black bars at the top and bottom but it looks better stretched

I would prefer an option for 16:9 close to 1680x1050 though, it does look a bit (emphasis on a bit) grainy due to being stretched up from 1366x768

still not too shabby though (GoW still looks amazing)
