Right now I have the xbox 360 connected to an lcd monitor at 1080p via HDMI. The problem is my lcd monitor does not support 1:1 mapping therefore the image is stretched to 16:10. If I use a VGA cable, will it allow me to get 1:1 support? I want to be able to see the black bars on top and bottom so the image is not disproportional.
 
what is the native res of your monitor? the xbox can theoretically display any res but 1920*1080 is as high as it goes on VGA and yes VGA is 1:1 mapping
 
My monitor native res is 1920x1200. However, xbox can only output up to 1920x1080. With HDMI, the image is stretched on my monitor to 1920x1200. I do not want the image to be stretched. Will the VGA cable fix this problem by allowing black bars on top and bottom?
 
If your monitor doesn't support 1:1 then I don't think using the VGA cable is going to make a difference.
 
Using the VGA cable and updating your Dashboard (if you still have the old style dashboard) will let you select 1680x1050 which should give you a 16:9 viewable image (even tho its using a 16:10 rez the xbox itself will add the letterbox). My monitor's native resolution is also 1920x1200 but using 1680x1050 on the xbox 360 still looks great.
