Xbox 360 High Definition Details
* The Xbox 360™ HDMI Cable, included with the Xbox 360 Elite system,
enables a single cable to deliver HD video (up to 1080p) and multichannel
surround sound to a TV or an audio/video surround receiver.
* You do not need a TV that supports high definition to use the Xbox 360
system. Like all consoles before it, Xbox 360 works perfectly on
standard-definition TVs (the resolution for standard def is 480 interlace).
* The high-definition support for Xbox 360 is dynamic, so even if a game is
designed with 720p in mind, but your TV only supports 480p, 1080i and 1080p.
Xbox 360 runs the game in the best resolution your TV offers (up to 720p, 1080i
and 1080p).
* If you do plan on running games in high definition with your HDTV, you'll need
the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable, which comes standard with the Xbox 360
system (not the Xbox 360 Core System) and is sold separately as well.
If you're using the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable to connect your Xbox 360 console
to a computer monitor or TV monitor with a VGA connection, you'll have the
opportunity to select from a variety of resolutions. They are:
640 x 480
848 x 480
1024 x 768
1280 x 720 (equivalent to 720p)
1280 x 768
1280 x 1024
1360 x 768
1920 x 1080
* Whether using the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable or the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV
Cable, you'll find the resolution settings in the System menu on the Xbox 360
Dashboard. Select Console Settings in the System menu, and then select Display
to find all your resolution options.
Xbox 360 offers unprecedented support for high-definition gaming, yet it
remains flexible as well. Whether using a standard definition TV (480i),
an HDTV with only one progressive scan option, or an HDTV with every
available option (up to 720p, 1080i and 1080p), or even a computer monitor,
Xbox 360 will employ the best resolution your TV or monitor can display.
