Just a quick question for everybody reporting sub-par graphi

I can imagine it is frustrating to have such an issue, but my question is, how are you connecting your xbox to your tv?

I have 2 tvs that I play on, and have found that I only see graphical errors on the tv I use component cables. The other I have no problem on while using HDMI. It's the same model tv and both xbox's are 2 years old. And I just transfered the disk. The only reason I use component on one tv is to capture game gameplay on a hauppauge. If I transfer xbox's the result seems to be similar, the HDMI one has a clear and beautiful picture with no texture issues.

Mine is on a 1080p HDMI, and still looks bad so I don't know what your on about.

I have my stuff set at 720p, I doubt it makes any difference, but I'm just commenting on what has and hasn't worked for me, and was wondering if anyone else has tried this as well.

I'm only able to test it on one TV. I'm connecting using HDMI, 1080p.

I play on a 40" 1080p capable Samsung LCD. I was first using hd components set at 720p to accomodate my turtle beaches. I switched over to an HDMI to see if it would help, set it to 1080p and everything. No real difference. Will try today to set it up on my 25" Vizio with 720p capabilities to see if that changes. But even if it does look better, how are they going to explain to me why the game's graphics suffer when I hook my xbox up to my bigger, better tv?

I have an X360 Elite connected with VGA on a 40" 1080p Samsung. I've also tried the component connection at 720p and 1080i to see if that helps, but it still looks blurry and washed out. Haven't tried HDMI, but I'm assuming it would be the same.
