My new tv supports 1080p over component so I told the xbox to use it and was greeted with a very blurry screen. 1080i is sharp so I'm thinking either I need better quality component cables or the xbox 360 just doesn't do 1080p very well.

The only way for the 360 to properly do 1080p is through an HDMI connection. So the older ones can't properly do it.

BTW I have a HDMI 360 and it looks no different than Component or VGA at 720p. I have no idea about 1080p since my monitor just does 1080i. I'm sure there's no big difference.

The only reason people cared about HDMI on 360 was for when they would enable copy prevention on HD-DVD... but not like that matters now, 360 won't even have Blu-Ray... I don't think their HDMI spec supported all types of audio either, so it's kinda useless on the 360.

I tried a camcorder over a component connection and could not get it to work in 1080p or 1080i. Then I switched to 576p (forgot the exact number, but it's the "SD" progressive mode), and it displayed. Obviously it was blurry but I can't get anything better unless I use the camera's HDMI connection (which I can't record on as I don't have a recording device that suppots it).

So what I guess is happening is that the Xbox is outputting 576p instead of 1080p ?
