CRT and Xbox360 Question

[Dethman]

The only monitor that I have is a 21Inch Crt..and a crappy 50'' Rear projection with only RCA input

When i get GTAIV tonight, i want to plug in my Xbox to my Crt monitor, via VGA, Sound is not an issue, because i can plug them into my computer speakers via toslink(optical), And i already have the VGA cable for my xbox

So when i play the game, what type of resolution is it going to play at? Will it look good? Can i play at 720p? Will I get the black bars on the top/bottom?

Thanks!

I used a 19" CRT for a short time but the 60hz refresh rate hurt my eyes. I think you will max out at 1280 x 1024 with a 21" CRT. You can also use widescreen resolutions like 720p but you will have to adjust your monitor and you will have black bars. The image on a CRT is as good or better then any widescreen LCD- the problem is that the Xbox is stuck at 60hz refresh rate which is not kind to the eyes.
