[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"] dude... if you are using VGA cables you arent even displaying in HD.....VGA cannot carry an HD signal. you have to use component or HDMI to get HD resolutions....

Because my TV only supports 480P via component. If component would do higher I would obviously be using it wouldn't I.

[QUOTE="x-2tha-z"]Games look crap on my tv when I use VGA. I get a much better picture with component and HDMI.x-2tha-z

It really depends on the TV. VGA is awesome on my TV, but wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't as good on newer TV's where HDMI is standard.

I said playing Halo on it didn't really look that much better, basically the same. Then after playing it online a bit I did notice quite a difference in colours etc, but not as much as I thought. So I came to the conclusion that Halo just doesn't look awesome in HD compared to SD.

VGA. Played some Halo 3 online and wow, the difference is quite huge. I kept dying because I was looking at the brighter, more vibrant colours etc. But in Firefight it's not much different, but the Spartans look a lot better online. Hopefully getting the 360 version of MW2 today, only played it 480i on the PS3 so will be nice to see how that looks.

Yeah, I know what you mean. Other than the heaps clearer words/menu's, and I'm sure games like Borderlands split screen will be better to play, any split screen game really, it isn't as much of a jump as I thought it would be. Will have to play more games I guess.

Honestly, I don't really care. I played it at both resolutions and other than more aliasing on the higher resolution which kinda sucked, it looked the same. All I want to know is if Halo 3 looks any better at 720P than 480P for most people, I'm thinking it wouldn't as it's not exactly a good looking game.

It's still as good as it, as I used it on both TV's and couldn't see a difference at all. You still get something like 780,000 pixels instead of 920,000.

Had this TV for years, just realised it is 720P (well, 1024x768, but basically 720P). The only 360 game I have is ODST at the moment, and I played it on my main TV and my smaller one (which is 1280x720). It looked the same on both TV's, except a bit more aliasing on the guns at the higher resolution. The menus and text look a LOT clearer, but in game it doesn't look much different, except the hud. Is this just because Halo doesn't look good at 720P?
