Dirk Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Quick question how do I make sure that it is in 1080p mode? When you connect the VGA it doesn't tell you. It just gives the resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjb1118 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 how do i check the dshboard version? System Blade > Console Settings > System Info (Bottom One). Quick question how do I make sure that it is in 1080p mode? When you connect the VGA it doesn't tell you. It just gives the resolution. Uhh, i'm not sure if I understand exactly what you mean, but if you have it set to the 1920x1080 resolution, you should be in 1080p mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Hmmm. Ok. Funny thing about my tv is that when I use the vga cables it never fills up the whole screen. There are bars on the left, right, top and bottom. Also thought I use to beable to put it in that res before the update came out. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

I know my tv supports 1080i through HDMI and Component but not VGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Lyle Global Moderator Posted November 1, 2006 Global Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2006 my tv only supports 1080i, so the 1080p is kind of useless to me right now. the update isn't all that great in my eyes (appearance wise) just the marketplace looks different to me.. but i like the improvements and hard work they put into it (Y)(Y)(Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beardly Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I don't know if I have something setup wrong, but my DVDs only play in 4:3 mode. I have my 360 set in 1080i mode and the rest of the content plays normally in 16:9 mode. I thought that this update was going to upconvert DVDs. Also, I'm using the component cables to connect to my tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magik Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Coming Zune... :laugh: :rofl: :p Microsoft flavored iTunes Music Store over Xbox Live Marketplace... I called it before. Meh IMHO :sleep: I want an HDMI cable PLEASE!!!!! :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beardly Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yes, an HDMI cable is needed. But it would probably be a MS only one that costs $100. Until then, I will have to settle for a separate DVD player that upconverts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the games man!? :p Doesn't matter to me, but I'm sure a lot of 1080p HDTV owners want the HDMI cable simply for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magik Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I'd pay $100 for an HDMI cable as long as it works. ;) $100 isn't really much when you're trying to get the most out of your $2,000 HDTV investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have HDMI but don't need it. My VGA does everything it can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerzdawg Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have HDMI but don't need it. My VGA does everything it can do. thats great... but most of the 1st generation 1080p HDTVs that came out only support the 1080p through HDMI...(even the 1080p TV that are out now very few support 1080p over component..) even worse my sony tv cripples the VGA input to low as hell resolutions...

Now if they someone could make an adapter that would allow you to use your own HDMI cable, that would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but it probably won't be as good as Microsoft's solution. Third Party solution quality is usually very sub-par. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtLENIN Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I got this wierd thing after the update. My wireless controller with a battery pack seems to run a friggin light show on the ring of light. Every now and then (60 secs or less) the lights in the four corners are lit then goes back to normal. Seems to drain the battery too. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
