I know there have been threads on this, but no definite answers.
I have the 360 VGA cable hooked up to my 19" 4:3 LCD monitor. DOA4 and COD2 look grand in 1024x768. I know I have to change PGR3 to 1024x768 because it looks like shit in 1280 (wtf.)
Today I decided to pop in Halo 2 and it too looks like SHIT in 1280x1024. It looks like widescreen, but not the proper aspect ratio. In fact, the only resolution that looks "good" is 640x480, but since it's not my monitor's native res it looks better on my f'n CRT TV..
Question 1: Are all BC games like this? I want to buy Ninja Gaiden Black, but not if it's going to look like crap.
Question 2: Any recomendations for a High quality yet not so pricey VGA switcher? It just needs to have a little knob or button on the box to switch over. The one I have now is a piece of shit. Also, the only vga cable that looks good on my 19 inch monitor is the one that came with it. When I connected other wires through the splitter (and thus the VGA cable from my laptop > monitor is not the one that my monitor came with), there is atrocious ghosting. I bought a new cable, same problem. I hear that some VGA cables don't work well with larger monitors. Why is this? Where can I get a cheap VGA cable that won't look like shit? Why is this so hard
