Query about a Philips Flat LCD TV

johnny_ultimate

So Ive been reading up about HD tv and got curious about a TV my parents bought a year or two ago. Its a Philips LCD FlatTv, but there is no model number on the TV or elsewhere. Im trying to figure out if its HD Ready (want to hook up a 360) - I looked at the back and there is a VGA connection, as well as the usual SCART connections. Does this mean that it has the capabilites of showing high def stuff?

Sorry if I sound like a bit of a simpleton, but have little knowledge about this kind of stuff.

i may be wrong but i think to get hd you either need a hdmi port or dvi input..you cant get it through scart but not so sure bout the vga..maybe it could display high res when using it as your pc monitor..but not sure..there has to be a model number somewere on it..keep looking

Ah the TV does indeed have DVI I think Ive figured it out now - just need to pick up a VGA cable for the 360. Thanks

1080p over VGA is the highest quality signal the xbox 360 can send at the moment.

Get one of the Xbox 360 VGA Cables off ebay for <€10.
