Question regarding “TV/HDTV” slider on XBox360. (1 Viewer)

[John Pine]

Just bought one with the h/d installed. I have a mid priced Toshiba 27” CRT that has the three component video connections. I’m using the “TV” position now and the graphics seem very good. Should I use the “HDTV” position instead?

Does your set support high definition resolutions such as 720p or 1080i? Or perhaps EDTV (480p)? If so, you'll want to set the proper resolution in the Xbox dashboard and set that switch of to the HD position so that it displays properly. Without setting that switch, you are relegating the console to display at normal interlaced resolutions.

I don't believe it does support 720p or 1080p, and I can't find the manual. I doubt it, it was only about a $300 set. It's more likely to support 480p, if that. I'll try Toshiba's website. Thanks for the feedback!

Ok, I found it. Man...it's come down in price since I bought it, MSRP used to be $299.

No...I don't believe this one will do non-interlaced resolutions.

Then you're ok with the current setting you have the switch set at John.
