Question to xbox gamers
Im looking to connect my 360 to a hd tv, but im confused,in the bundle i bought there is a 'component hd av cable' which i can connect to the hd port on the tv via i think its 3 or 4 leads,is this connection giving me true hd picture?
Reason i ask there is also available to buy at around £20 a dedicated hdmi cable???

if you look at the connection on the xbox that has to be plugged into a similar connect on the tv, hd wont work propperly going from hdmi to scart or avi connections as you discribed

I'm afraid I dont know the answer to your question. I believe, for it to be true HC, you need to use a hdmi cable that plugs directly from the hdmi port on the xbox, into the tv.

There's no need to buy the dedicated microsoft xbox hdmi cable. I use a standard HDMI cable that I bought from a supermarket, and it works really well.

There are 3 different ways of getting HD through your 360.
Component,VGA or HDMI
