    You will not get the native resolution, either 720p or 1080p.

    I'll either box it, or stretch the image.

    I'm not sure which on VGA, but the image will work fine.

    Just buy the cable and flick through the various resolution and set to widescreen if need be

    Will work fine, but will stretch it slightly.

    I used to play my Xbox via the VGA cable on a 1440x900 monitor before the NXE update (before the resolution was supported) and it worked fine, just stretched a little.

    Re: xbox 360 with 2048*1152?

    Set your PC to 1920x1080 and see if you like what you see.

    I tried that in a couple of PC games and thought it looked good enough for gaming.

    Re: xbox 360 with 2048*1152?

    thanks for all the input so far guys
    much appreciated.
    one last thing....


    was going to order this cable here :- http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VGA-HD-AV-Cabl...3%3A1|294%3A50

    but it says on the description :-
    # The High-Definition connection for TVs / Plasmas / TFTs / LCDs and monitors with VGA inputs
    # DV-15S Standard VGA Connector
    # Video output settings of 480p, 720p, or 1080i
    # Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound output
    # 6-foot long shielded cable
    # Order before 3pm monday to friday for same day shipping.
    but... on the xbox 360 website

    it says :-
    DV-15S Standard VGA Connector
    Experience High Definition movies and games at up to 1080p resolution
    Also supports 480p, 720p, 1080i or 1080p
    Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound output
    8-foot long shielded cable
    so.. will the VGA cable support full 1080p or not?

    360 can output 1080p over VGA, but not all TV's support a 1080p input over VGA.

    Please buy an official 360 cable for VGA though. While you'll find me moaning about rip off HDMI leads and £200 audio cables, I've had 2 3rd party VGA cables that both had issues where the official worked 100% everytime.

    Ive seen some really shi t 3rd party cables also, so i bit the dust and got the official one but you dont get the gold-plated input/output with uber-1337 h4x picture quality when you get the Ms one - However you do get a 2>1 audio jack which came in handy for me personally

    Just to back up Agent: I got a GAME branded VGA cable, it was completely faulty and wouldn't display any image at all. Took it back and bought the official one instead and it's been fine for 2 years. I may have been unlucky but now i trust official that bit more.
