    XBOX 360 Video Connections

    Hi all i am going to get a XBOX 360 and i was wondering what cable would give me the best picture i have a HD TFT (DELL 2405FPW) which is can display 1920 by 1200 its wide screen. It has the component connections (Y / Cb / Cr) and a VGA connection. So the question is whats the best connection to go for out of these two.

    Thanks all

    Herb

    component has more color and some people love it, but I use VGA (mainly cos I have the Dell 2005FPW which has no component inputs ). I like VGA but I would go for the component, if you're not happy you can get a VGA cable as a component cable comes with the Xbox (premium).

    There seems to be conflicting opinions on this, it may depend on the display people are using.
    I'm using a plasma screen and the component cables are great, I get a stunning picture.
