Re: XBOX 360 to Philips HD TV

["Simon Coates" <simon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Andrew,

Unfortunately, being HD ready doesn't mean it can display a HD picture.  If
the panel is 480V it will just downscale a HD signal.
Xbox 360 doesn't support HDMI.
Google the Philips product code and find the screen resolution.
On the plasma's input panel is there a VGA input?  You can't use a standard
VGA lead with the 360 - you need a special 360 VGA cable as mentioned
before.  With the 360 you select the output you require - 480, 720 or 1080
(but won't be 1080 - not many 1080 plasmas about yet - although Pioneer do
a
very nice 50")

Regards

Simon
