I have my XBox 360 connected to my 2407FPW via Component, I tried to use 1080p and I got an Out of Range signal, I tried 1080i and the screen lags, lots of ghosting and I guess a real slow refresh rate. Do I need to get a VGA cable for my XBox to get it working or is there anything setting on the Dell Monitor that I can tweak.

Thanks..
 
VGA is the way to go on a non TV LCD. It looks a little washed out, but is much faster. Plus DVDs get upconverted over VGA.

Actually VGA isn't even "washed out" anymore after MS released a software fix in the spring update. One just has to set the black level to "expanded" and it's all good.
 
I always found the Dell to be more washed out than my LG through VGA. But thanks for the correction.
 
Did you set the black levels to expanded? This fixed the problem for me on the Dell.

Yeah the VGA fix from MS is nice. I love the colors i get via VGA.
 
Okay so I bought a VGA cable, but when I use 1920x1080 there's a line in the middle of the screen. How do I fix this?
 
What kind of line? Can you post a picture of your screen? It's strange, it should work ok...
 
Like the screen got cut in half, this only happens in Aspect and 1:1, Fill which I guess means stretch doesn't give me the same effect.
