Compaq WF 1907 Help

[iLL TeK]

Alright a buddy of mine was using his computer monitor to run his XBOX 360 while his TV was out of commission. He bought a converter cable for the 360 to allow it to use a VGA hookup and when he was done he put it back into the computer and now the display is all fucked up.

It won't go back into the 1440x90 resolution and won't allow him to select the 60Hz refresh rate he needs.

He said the display is all messed up and sort of like "double vision".


Any ideas?

What cable did he buy? A 3rd party one or one by Microsoft? People say that 3rd party ones give you a double image sorta... a ghosting-effect where you see a ghost image of things beside it (when everything's still). I suggest your friend buys an official cable online. I got mine used off of ebay and there seems to be no ghosting.

Also, 1440x900 is not supported by the 360. You'll just have to pick something else and your monitor will scale it. That's another thing... it should look fine and dandy with the correct aspect ratio IF your monitor can scale it correctly. My HP w2007 monitor cannot scale it correctly, though. The Xbox 360 outputs a 16:9 image while my monitor is 16:10. It fills up the whole screen and so everything is stretched vertically. I've gotta find a new monitor.
