spenser.d Posted November 25, 2006 Share Posted November 25, 2006 Im going to be using my 17" non-widescreen CRT monitor with my 360 through the official vga cable (its a samsung syncmaster 750s) the resolutions it supports are: 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1152x864 1280x1024 which are 4:3 and 5:4 displays if my maths is working. I was wondering, 1) (a) im sure it is but is 1280x1024 720p(or is it higher)? (b) is 1280x1024 my best option to play the 360 with on this monitor? 2) 1280x1024 is HD right? 3) ive heard a lot of people talking about 1280x720 which is 16:9 ??? (widescreen?) 4) i can resize my display horizolntally and vertically and zoom in/out so will games that are widescreen only be really bad on my monitor resolutions or is it a simple matter of resizing a little? sorry for all the questions but can only find info on LCD monitors not CRT anyway, any help from you is great :) thanks! 1) 1280x1024 is higher than 720p, but it is not widescreen. Yes. 2) Yes. Anything above 1280x720 (720p) is HD. 3) Yes. 4) not sure what you're asking. I'd just set it at 1280x1024. Some games will use that res, which is HD, some will put black bars at the top and bottom so it's in 720p, which isn't any less good. -Spenser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
