now its setup. The downside is, the tv is defective, Im getting red marks in the corner of the bottom of the tv, so gonna exchange it for another, however, The other thing is im confused on why the tv display off colored mixed colors which it should be ultra sharp n clearer, it could be my cable.. but holy sh*t the xbox360 looks amazing on it.
Setup - sry for the low dark quality pictures, when i do it in flash it makes the tv look terrible (the display)
I have set up everything properly, and for some reason im having poor quality pictures while playing DVD's, Do i need a HDTV Cable for the dvd player too, or I NEED A HD DVD Player for that to work?
Can Anyone Help me out?
EDIT - I realized, I posted in the wrong section which it should be in hardware instead. Sorry bout that.

I would recommend taking that SlimFit back to the store to get the Widescreen version. I cannot stress this enough
GO GET THE 16:9!!
If it doesn't fit (looks like it) make it fit. Go buy another cart.
xbox 360 games and HIGH DEF content is primarily widescreen
Also forgot to mention, this tv has 16:9 as well.
So this is the right choice though? and it has 1080i support and 720p (support as well)

I have a question for you guys I would like to get help on?
I have a 42 inch plasma HD TV and when I hooked my XBox 360 on there i was hoping to get a 1080i picture. I went to the setting on the Xbox and put on 1080i but everytime I turn it on and try to play a game, it only plays in 480i. I am confused. I dont know how to change it.
can you please help.
you sure your plasma supports it? most plasmas are not true HDTV... most are edtv and won't support 1080i or 720p and make sure you have the hdtv switch on the cable switched...

i heard the xbox 360 set on 1080i looks worse than it does on 720p regardless of the native resolution of the tv. Anyne hear this too?
Yea everyone says this because simple put 720 is progressive and 1080 is interlaced. Progressive is better for moving images and is why most consider it better for gaming. Also basic image quality isn't that much of an improvement from 720 to 1080 anyway. I personally have always thought 720p looked better for just about everything compared to 1080i. But everyones eyes work differently so to each his own.
