    Default New LCD, component or vga for 360?

    Hi guys, just ordered a shiny new samsung LE32R74BDX



    £570 delivered from here http://www.tribaluk.com/samsung-le32...n-01780466.htm

    question i have is, do i continue to use the component cable that came with my 360 or is there a better cable outthere like VGA for example that is gonna give me a better picture, this is my first HD TV so not sure which way to go

    thanks, Lloydi

    composite is indeed shite, as it isn't high def. he's talking about component, which indeed can supply high def. it may well still be that vga is slightly better, it would def be better if you were using a crt monitor. i might have suffered from a poor cable, so for me, my component was better.

    I have the 40" version of that TV, and component gives a far better picture, VGA looks very washed out and clinical, whereas component is colourful and more realistic.
