Quick question

[lgp90]

Is the cable that you get when you buy a 360 premium console a HDMI cable or do I have to buy one? I just ask because the quality isn't as good as it should be and my tv is LCD HD so I should be gettign alot higher quality.

hdmi is the best but composite hd cable ain bad either
is ur tv 1080p or 1080i or 720p?

HDMI is technically superior to component but the difference in picture quality is negligible. Personally, I'd save the money and stick with component but it's up to you.

Just to be sure that you have it configured correctly:
The cable that came with your 360 should have red, blue and green connectors (video) and the red/white (audio), disregard the yellow cable. Hook them up to the corresponding jacks on the TV labed "Component" - make you set the switch on the cable to HDTV. In the 360's display settings, set the display mode to 720p.

I'm guessing that you have a 720p LCD TV, since they're the most common, and if you had a 1080p tv you'd be bragging about it

It's a 26'' 720p Panasonic.

I haven't tried looking into the display settings on the actual console menus...I've just been trying to find it on the TV menu. Thanks for thr helpm I'll see if that works because it is only playing at 480p at the moment.
