Bravia / XBOX 360

    Hi All,

    I just got a new Bravia V series 32". I'm pretty happy with how my 360 games look on it but not with DVDs. I'm using the 360 as my DVD player.

    Should I invest in a new DVD player?

    Also I was thinking of going with Sky+ but read somewhere that the difference between HD and SD is only really noticable on screens larger then 37".

    I read somewhere that the xbox only upscaled dvd through vga, rather than component. Have you tried that?

    Im going to assume you connect the xbox to the tv by component.

    If so you could try getting the vga cable. With this the 360 can upscale dvds to 1080p (or to 720p on your tv) and you will see improvement there. I have both cables and dvds look clearly better with vga, though with vga you need to adjust your display settings alot to get the colour, brightness, etc correct as it can look slightly 'faded' at first.

    With Sky+ the signal is still digital and not 'hd' unless you sign up for sky hd, in which you pay €15 extra a month for something like 5 or 6 hd channels. Some of which are extra premium channels like the sports and movie channels which are extra again. If you dont have some form of digital tv sky+ will look very good in comparison to any analog service.
