Re: TDU question
Do you have a widescreen TV? How big is the TV you are playing on? -
Re: TDU question
Yep, this game(and most other 360 games) uses letterbox form of putting black bars on top and bottom of the screen if you're not using Widescreen TV.
I first tried on my tiny little 14" sdtv and it was impossible to read the text. I recently switched to my 17" CRT computer monitor using VGA HD/AV Cable and turned up the resolution to 1280x1024.
It still has the black bars on top and bottom of the screen(my monitor is not wide), but the resolution is high enough(it's gorgeous!) that those tiny texts are crystal sharp to read.
If you have inferior TV, I highly suggest trying your computer monitor+VGA Cable to play the games in second best looking mode available(1st is Component). It's a knockout compared to what you've been used to.Comment

Also, if I hook it up via VGA, how do I get sound?
One more question, haha. I can just hook these up to my computer monitor, does the monitor have to be HD or something specific?Last edited by Bruins; 01-14-2007, 09:39 AM.Comment

Re: TDU question
How much do those cables cost?

And how would I turn the resolution up when it's connected. Is there a setting for that on the system blade?

Re: TDU question
I just looked at my speakers, the subwoofer doesn't look like it has RCA imputs (those are the "big" plugs like what you would use to plug into a TV, right?), but it has a port where a headphone sized plug goes in. Is that what a 1/8" stereo y-adapter is? And this comes with the cables? I don't want to go out and buy these and not be able to have sound! LOLComment

Re: TDU question
So luckily, I hooked them up. Then I realized that the volume control for my speakers couldn't be hooked up at the same time as the the Xbox audio! So I ended up having to bring my stereo in and so I have the audio going through that at the moment, until I buy some new speakers. Works for me, because the video looks gorgeous!Comment
