I'm debating only bringing my 2005FPW to college rather than a television screen as well. Right now playing xbox games on the 2005FPW looks like utter crap, which can be attributed to the composite cable I am using. I've seen the Xbox2VGA cable, along with the ones on Lik Sang which will take any component video signal and convert them to VGA. My questions
When Xbox, next-gen systems, etc, are converted to my monitor, what resolutions will they run at? Will it still be a smaller res than the native 1680x1050, and cause the image to have to be stretched larger? I'm not talking about 4x3 vs 16x9, but size in general. How nice should this picture look? I'm concerned since my monitors native res is so large.
Also, I see alot of other Xbox to VGA converters on ebay and such, which are going for alot less. $20 perhaps? Do they significantly lack the quality of Xbox2VGA? Are they not capable of displaying the same resolutions? I'm curious since these seem alot cheaper.
I'm also considering the xbox only converison box, or a generic component cable one, but thats mainly something I just have to decide.
What do you think?
