I've just noticed the upgrade on my xbox 360 with the availability of 1920 x 1024 resolution through VGA.
When i try to set this on my Digimate 37" LCD TV, i get "Invalid Mode" and a black screen.
My LCD TV works great with 1920 x 1024 resolution through VGA on my computer.

Any other people experiencing this problem?

There is a thread on another forum about this problem, i thought i might start one here aswell.

Thanks!

1920 x 1024

i think it's 1920x1080p

[Janvitos]

Yeah sorry about that, my mistake.
Still doesn't work on my x360, but works just fine on my PC.

Simple problem. You monitor is only 1366x768 resolution(non 1080p). Hence why 1080p will not work. I see way too mayn ppl having the same problem...If you don't have a 1080p monitor, then obviously you will not be uning 1080p.

My monitor's native resolution is 1920 x 1080.

I'm not quite sure why you stated otherwise.

I can have windows in 1920 x 1080 resolution over VGA.
I can also play any game in 1920 x 1080.

I googled it and came back with that. I guess a model# would help?

From the spaces on that page...
• NATIVE RESOLUTION: 1920 x 1080
• 1080i/720P/576P/480P Compatible

Seems like it won't do 1080 progressive...which is odd for a 1920x1080 native panel. Always look up your tv on AVS.com before you buy.

All computer monitor resolutions are progressive.  His native res of 1920x1080 is the same thing as 1080p.

There are multiple monitors with "TrueHD" 1920x1080 panels that simply don't have the necessary electronics to accept process 1080p signals, as those are quite expensive chips.

So yeah, your monitor will sadly only accept 1080i.

All 1080p is, is 1920x1080 @ 60Hz.  If you set your pc to output 19120x1080 @ 60Hz that is the exact same thing as 1080p.  There is nothing special about it.

Yes, I know about this as I used that res on a pc myself. But, obviouslly his monitor will not accept 1080p. I would be very pissed off If I brung that thing home, and couldn't get 1080p.

If his monitor's native res is 1920x1080, it can support 1080p (1920x1080 @ 60Hz via vga is his monitors native res).  It's just that the 360's outputs 1080p incorrectly and many are having problems with it, including myself.

I have zero problems(knock on wood). Only thing that I did notice, is a color difference between vga and component 1080p.

The fact that his monitor's native res is 1920x1080 means that his panel can display 1080p, or 1920x1080 with a 60Hz refresh rate. That does not automatically mean however, that his tv will accept and process 1080p signals. You seem to forget that his tv's specifications specifically state support for up to 1080i, not 1080p. People have been making the same mistake with the new 37" Philips 37PF9731D/10, or the older Sony Qualia 004 projector. The panel might support 1080p, the other parts don't. Most tv's with 1920x1080 panels released in 2006 should support 1080p input though.

I hope this clears a few things up.  (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I believe you are a little confused on the subject.  No, his monitor cannot accept 1080p over component, and that is what it is referring to when it states the other progressive and interlace resolutions (component only).  His monitor does accept 1080p via VGA.  Just ask him to try a 1080p video feed from his pc to his monitor via vga, and i bet you that it will work.  The problem is how the 360 send out 1080p, and not his monitors accepting vga 1080p.
