360 on 1440x900 19inch monitor?

[revol68]

Is it true that the new xbox dashboard allows output at 1440x900?

What's the quality like and is VGA better than HDMI?

Does the current dashboard not work at that resolution?

I would expect you would need a VGA cable to get that resolution though.

As to VGA vs HDMI, I expect that would come down to the resolution and screen your connecting to.

You would need to use VGA or it would likely default to a stretched 720/768

IIRC you need VGA to get pc monitor resolutions, my hdmi does 1920x1080 not 1200

I do not think it is currently supported, apparently the next dashboard update may include this, or in the future but at the moment no such luck I do not believe.

Apparently the last dashboard update was going to give us much more selection of the resoloution but it has not materialised yet! I need 1440x900 but at the mo am having to run a 1280x768 (i think)

Well the words '1440x900' were specifically mentioned in interviews and reports leading up to this November update so we can hope.
I think they may have uttered those words once before though....

i used to use it at 1440x900, worked fine chap :thumbs:

difference in quality is unnoticeable

The update on November 19th will allow 16:10 resolutions for VGA connections and there is no difference between VGA and HDMI in picture quality.

1440x900 isnt listed in the res list, so you have to use a 16:9 one so never looks brilliant on my monitor. Hopefully 16:10 will come down with the next update.
