Well, I dont have an HD TV, and pretty much all Xbox360 games seem to have unusually small fonts on my TV and it's kinda hard read some stuff but on some screenshots of 360 games the font is much larger and clearer.

So I'm wondering, if I get one of those VGA-HD cables and hook up my 360 to my 1280x1024 TFT PC monitor, would things be different?

ok cool, and yeah I know it's not true HD, but my 19" TFT's native resolution is 1280x1024 so I can't go any higher without buying a new monitor or a true HD TV, both of which is just too expensive.

yes HD is much clearer.. I accidently switch the switch to Standard when I was fiddling around with the wires and I couldnt read anything, Flicked it back to HD and it was crystal clear Smile

u didn't get it, even if u use max res on 22" for example 1920x it's still won't look as sharp as component on HDTV Wink

I only have an old CRT-TV here. Although it is quite big (about 33"), I fear that it might look bad if I get a X360. Does anybody here play with those old TV's, and would you say it is allright?
I don't have the money to buy the console, a new PC AND a new TV...
