I recieved my VGA cable for the XBox 360 the other day. Of course I couldn't wait to set it up. I couldn't do a full setup (the wire is routed in front of the entertainment center right now) but it is working just fine.
I have a Samsung HLS6187W DLP HDTV hooked up to my 360. This unit has a 'game mode' which bypasses some of the video enhancement circuitry, allowing for increased response time between the video game system and the TV. I am using 'game mode' with the VGA connection to the TV. With recent dashboard updates to the XBox 360, the VGA output to the TV can be set to 1980 x 1080 (I think that's it) which is the full resolution of the set. When I first hooked it up, I had a bit of underscan on the set (underscan is when the picture doesn't fully fill the screen). This was easily corrected using the P. SIZE setting on the television. After stretching out the video, I couldn't be happier.
Not only does using the VGA adapter provide 1080P resolution for video games, it also allows for full 1080P from the HD-DVD player! Of course, I immediately put in King Kong to relish in the splendor of 1080P when watching a movie. It's a sight to behold.
