Hi,

I just bought a samsung tft monitor and it's native resolution is 1440x900. I also have the vga cable and in the system setting I can't choose 1440x900, but I can choose 1080p. Does this mean that the xbox doesn't support my native resolution? It looks really bad.

Thanks in advance

nope, doesn't do 1440x900, 720p is bit closer to it than 1080p

That really sucks, when not using the native reoslution on a monitor the image quality is worse than sdtvs.

i play on 1280 x 768 on a monitor w/ native resolution of 1440 x 900 because it is the same aspect ration (16:10) and the picture is great.

Well,I hooked my 360 up to the monitor downstairs, which has a native resolution of 1024x768 and it looked like 2 times better than on my new monitor. Why doesn't MS do an update with 16:10 support? My new monitor also has FAR better specs than the one downstairs, it's a samsung 19'' 931BW.

A question to the guys that use a 16:10 monitor, what resolution do you use?

There's one resolution that is really close to 1440X900. I forgot the exact numbers, but it works very nicely on my 19" Samsung widescreen.
