I have the original style 360 (no hdmi).

What do I need to get 1080P graphics.

Thanks for reply, I'm sure its been beaten to death.

1080p works fine with component or VGA with no issues. Exclusion is HD DVD format (1080i) and DVD upconverting (480p) with component. I believe VGA does it all in 1080p. Just make sure your HDTV can accept a 1080p signal.

A offical 360 composite-hdmi lead?

An audio-visual device, commonly used items are Televisions, projectors are the great also.

When chosing a TV, you will be looking for the specification of 'full HD' or 1080p ('p' which relates to the vertical & horizontal information been refreshed each way at the same time). So 1080p really means 1920 lines by 1080 lines Progressively scanned.

Now we move to the fact that if you are a gamer as I am. You would appreciate that the information been related into the tv exectra & then too your brain. Gets there at optimum or near perfect speed. Say 12-18ms (milliseconds) trouble is you have to really get suck into researching kit.

Anyhow I hope I have helped in some way]

bought a 60" LCD yesterday, yes its 1080p. My xbox hooks to my av receiver via the 5 componet wire leads supplied. My BD player is hooked to the onkyo as well, I"m having no problems viewing BD's in 1080p, but the xbox won't switch over.

Perhaps the 606 won't take 1080p short of hdmi. Is there a xbox av bundle with hdmi on the other end?

GunZenBomZ · 01-22-2011, 09:24 AM

yeah I'd of thought so killerbee.

Search the xbox offical sales site/forums? Hopefully someone from here will give you the info you need mate.

Hammie · 01-22-2011, 02:12 PM

Did you set your Xbox to output 1080p?

I think it defaults to 480i if you use anything other than HDMI. The oder version may be different, but I believe that is what I read when researching the newer models.

BTW, do not ask me where that setting may be. I have not had to look for it and my son will not give up the TV and his Madden game for me to look.

killerbee · 01-22-2011, 04:25 PM

Its in the settings on dashboard. When I select 1080p the screen goes blank for a few seconds, then it reverts to 1080i.

Did the original units come with componet cables not capable of 1080p. Its either the cables or the input on the AVR.

Wingman1977 · 01-22-2011, 06:13 PM

1080p via component is a analog signal.

I thought the only way to get 1080P was with an HDMI cable. My old Toshiba projector was connected with a VGA/Component cable and my display was at 1080i......which was still a damm fine picture I might add.

DesertFenix · 01-24-2011, 05:25 PM

Lately a 1080P signal requires an HDMI cable. Although component is capable of handling it, on all newer devices Component will only allow you to go up to 1080i. If it's not going to 1080P, why not change it to 720P? From many articles and professionals I have spoken to, they have said that 720P is better than 1080i (it's a matter of Math in how many pixels are refreshed at a time). That being said, most if not all games on the 360 are natively 720P anyways, and your Xbox won't need to up-convert to 1080. 720P still looks amazing.

The_Donster · 01-24-2011, 06:24 PM

Not sure how old your console is, but does it have HDMI plug on it? I'm not 100% sure, but I think it was mostly Elites that had them. Something that blew me away was my new 250GB 360 didn't come with one. I had to use the one that came with my Resident Evil Elite. Which is fine until I get a flatscreen in our living room

I will say is it is hard going back to playing on our old tv. I have the new console set up in the living room so we can play the Kinect. Can't wait to get another flatscreen to play on. Of course then I'll have to get another HDMI cable

Anyway, you've actually received some pretty great advice on fixing the issue. The only advice I can add is trade/sell in your old player and invest in a new one

I promise it will blow your mind playing your games on the big screen.

not really but I wasn't messing with it the last couple days. I doubt it will matter but I ordered a hdmi 1.3 to replace the older HDMI running from my AVR to the TV.

bageleaterkkjji · 01-27-2011, 02:18 PM

maybe your tv isnt 1080p or you don't have the component cables switch set to hdtv

mutelight · 02-06-2011, 04:02 AM

Some TVs will not accept 1080p over component although the 360 will output that resolution over the connection. Another thing is that a fair amount of AVRs will not pass 1080p signals over component.
