Heres the situation..I got an HD tv for christmas

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=AV-000-OK
(OcUK Yusmart 32" HDTV with built in Speakers - Black)

It states that it can support up to 1080i...

From my knowledge 1080i = 1920x1080..when i select this setting on my xbox360 it states "out of range"...the highest resolution it can
get up to is 1366x768? what p or i is this?

i contacted the website about this and they told me to contact the manufacturer...ive had no respone from the manufacturer.

any help would be great guys and gals

thanks alot

neil!

Your set is a fixed pixel display. That means that whatever signal you send in, it will get scaled, up or down, to the set number of pixels in the display, its native resolution. In your case the set is 1366x768, or 768p. If you send a signal from the 360 at 1080i (make sure it is the 1080i and not the 1080p signal) it will get scaled to 768p. Ideally you would want to set the incoming signal close to the set's native resolution, in this case 720p, so there is less processing of the signal. I suggest using 720p out of the 360.

@ChiknLtl: He's using the VGA cable on the 360. When using the VGA cable you don't get to choose 480p, 720p or 1080i on the 360's display menu. You're given choices based on the resolution of your display. This is why he says the maximum he can get is 1366 x 768 - this is the native resolution of his display. To get 1080i as a choice he should use the 360 component cables.

so would this mean that i would require the component cable to set the monitor to 1080i?

thanks again

My bad. I don't have the VGA cable...Yet! Thanks for the correction!

@elmunkee...to get the best picture from you set, I would recommend using the 1366x768 setting. To use 1080i just means more processing for your set.
