The VGA picture seems a little washed out compared to component - even
if I connect it up to my plasma I have a had time getting the same
vibrancy out of the picture as I get with component...all looks a bit
flat. Just make sure you get a monitor with a reasonably good contrast
ratio, and bear in mind that the lower the response time, the worse
the contrast gets (I think that's how it works anyway).
Additionally, if you aren't running in proper HD resolutions,
sometimes the picture wont fit the monitor properly. The visualisation
stuff in the dash is a good example, as it doesn't quite fill up the
screen. Most games are absolutely fine, but for some reason a couple
(Burnout, DOA4) don't quite fill up the screen either.
the first issue is fixable if the monitor has enough colour/contrast
options, but I've yet to find a way to cure the second.
Agreed, I'm forever swapping between component and RGB as one is better
than the other which ever way I look at it. RBG is pin-sharp and easy
on the eye, but component is just so bright, Geometry Wars looks very
nice on component.
However I recently noticed that my Samsung LE thingummy takes about 30
mins to warm up properly and then becomes a lot sharper on component.
A PC through the screen is nice and sharp but it's like looking at a
LCD monitor from the first wave of screens from 2001 rather than the
kind of quality you'd expect from a recent PC LCD (laptops excluded as
my new Acer with true bright still isn't as highly defined as a normal
lcd, just looks better).
Resolution wise it's 1360 x 768 off the PC but you have to make sure
drivers (radeon here) are bang up to date to get this resolution (at
least I did)
As it turns out my missus decided that a desktop PC simply was not
going to be able to fit into our new house as well as the double in the
spare bedroom so a laptop was puchased and I ended up with a nice HD
for the 360 :-)
I wouldn't go back my only regret being that I should have bought the
26 as 23 is probably a little too small for couch slouch playing (ok
for computer desk though).
