Why Does My 360 Look Like Crap On My TV?

I just got a Dynex 26''720p LCDHDTV and when I play my 360 on it the graphics look like crap. The edges of objects are jagged and the graphics look blurry and undefined. Everything is connected properly, the display setting is set to 720p, andI am using component cables. Would the graphics enhance if I used an HDMI cable instead of component cables? Is this TV not suited for playing games?

also change the settings in the dashboard to hdtv

It depends on the game.. some games look like a jagged mess on any tv and your tv isn't exactly top of the line.

I already said the settings are correct. Regardless if it is top of the line or not it shouldn't look the way it does. Is that just how games look in 720p?

720p is the native resolution for most xbox 360 and ps3 games. Your settings must not be right.KC_Hokie

Halo 3 is 640p native resolution and why it won't look great on any tv. KC_Hokie

I just got a Sanyo '26 720p on black friday.... I haven't had any issues other than the blackness/darkness. I try to adjust the contrast but it doesn't help. When I'm watching regular television on it, the scenes at night in certain movies look bad(too dark).

Ex. When Luke fights Vader in Return of the Jedi(I was watching it on Spike tV the other night) I noticed I couldn't see much of Vader's suit other than the parts exposed in light. But when I watching other channels it's bright and looks great.

A. Dynex is garbage as far as HDTV's go. Even if you have a 720p LCD Dynex. It may only be 60 Hz and have a crap Contrast Ratio like 4000:1 with a 8 ms refresh rate

B. You may not have everything hooked up properly

C. Plasmas are must better suited for having uber visuals for games, movies and sports. I just bought a Panasonic Viera 42" Plasma and it DESTROYS my 2 year old LCD.

D. You could be sitting too close. I have a 37" Magnavox LCD and if I am looking at it from like 2 feet away, the games look absolutely crap tastic. But if I back off about 4 or 5 feet, they look much better.
