Just plugged in HD Lead

wow, what a difference it's made. Was using the normal standard 360 cable, but this has totally surpassed my expenctations.

It's s Joytech VGA cable, they are in stock in some places.

I don't have a HD ready TV, mine's a 26" LCD Philips FlatTV, but due to the resolution it does, it can make use of the VGA. Totally reccomend any one to get a lead, costs £15, and i will make a lot of difference.

Fight Night,PGR3 both look absolute quality.

Yup its when you come from a standard tv too a lcd/hdtv or as you have put in a vga cable in your lcd tv that you really notice what the 360 can do.

I atm am running it on me monitor on the pc but will have a 26" lcd hdtv next week deliverd and i can't wait.

It's special, don't get me wrong the graphics looked decent before, certainly next gen. But now, oh my, every thing is crisp, looks good and it's even made the games smoother.

Fight night is definately faster with the HD VGA in

Faster? How come?

Hilly · 4 Feb 2006 at 18:58

action seems faster, it's defiantely a lot smoother, definately had to pick my reactions up some

Yeah same happens you you switch from PAL 50 to PAL 60 on the SD cables.

dirtydog · 4 Feb 2006 at 19:12

That's because you go from 25/50 fps to 30/60 fps, but going from PAL60 to VGA shouldn't be any faster.

PiKe · 4 Feb 2006 at 19:14

Maybe he wasn't running in PAL 60?

dirtydog · 4 Feb 2006 at 19:22

That would certainly explain a speed up then

Hilly · 4 Feb 2006 at 20:23

more than likely, but it's smoother, feels faster, but looks so good

I was playing around dropping form 1080 to 480 the other day, and couldnt believe the difference it made to the dash. Everything seams so illegible in 480 ! Having said that, I suppose you have to have used HD tor ealise how bad 480 actually is

The colours are relatively washed out on my Joytech VGA cable.
I could send you mine, you could screenshot them and send it back if you want, see if it really makes a difference?

Hilly · 5 Feb 2006 at 14:22

I don't get any wash out on my Joytech VGA lead,

Nah, i wouldnt worry about it that much mate. If you can take a photo of the screen i could compare.. but it sounds like VGA can be a bit washed out anyhoo
