2405 and Xbox 360..?

[jayx9]

On MS' xbox site it says that the 360 can do..

All games supported at 16:9, 720p, or 1080i, with anti-aliasing

Will the 360 be able to connect right to the 2405 and display 1080i?

Yes, provided you use either the COMPONENT cables or the VGA cable.

the High Definition on an Xbox 360 is carried out thru an HDMI cable only interface. Therefore you have to have a monitor that can support HDMI and from what I have read in other posts the 2405 may not be able to accept HDMI even with a DVI -> HDMI converter.

Im confused.. the 360 comes with component and a VGA cable as an accessory. HDMI only? what?

Use the component connections.

Use the component connections.

I believe there is also a VGA connector for the original Xbox that allows you to take advantage of the like 4 games that support HD.

True.

Or one could always just use a VD-Z3

whoops...you guys are absolutely right...however, its the PS3 that has HDMI only output for High Definition b/c of the Blu-ray technology. So this means no HD over component just HDMI.
