I have a high end video/data DLP LCD projector.. its a HP VP6120
Anyway.. watching movies on the projector looks perfect.. but when I hook my Xbox up to it the text and games look blurry and fuzzy..
And no matter what I do I cant get it to look nice..
And with this projector it should look much nicer..
I have PAL Xbox running in PAL60 and using the latest UnleashX Dashboard.
Any info ?
Thanks.

If you want to talk about "high end" projectors - they start at $15K and go up from there!

Ok, so you are comparing the image quality of a DVD player connected via component cables to the XBOX connected via S-Video, and can't understand why S-Video looks crappy?
That's like saying you don't understand why hitting yourself in the head with a hammer doesn't feel as good as making love to a beautiful woman!?
Seriously, you'll need the High Def A/V pack to get progressive out and enable HD modes on the XBOX. You will never be able to compare anything not connected via component video to your projector.
I can tell you are in a non-NTSC country by your questions. Unfortunately MS didn't figure anyone would use HD outside NTSC land, so first, you'll have to import an MS Hi Def A/V pack. Then flash your system to NTSC. There's instructions here on all that, but be warned, that some non-NTSC games don't work well under NTSC, and then there's the question of how your projector would handle NTSC, etc. etc.

and you dont need to "flash" anything to ntsc, ...
otherwise you need the enigmah video selector program, from the usual sources,
Uh, if the enigmah video selector program doesn't flash the XBOX to NTSC, what does it do exactly?

Using a S-Video lead and whatever the Xbox resolution is by default.
Yea I have a Progressive DVD/MPEG4 DVD player hooked up via Componant cables for the best possible quality..

I was talking about the home theater market! Any projector under $3500 is considered low end, high end is two stacked $40K projectors...

(laserdisc stores the video signal in a composite format, but virtually every other format stores the signal seperated).
