using component cables on non-HD tv

[Splitter77]

Was wondering if my games on Xbox 360 will come in clearer if I use the red, blue, green cables on my tv. My tv ISNT Hd, but it does have the ports for those cables. If i do use these cables, am I sopposed to switch from TV to HD tv on the xbox 360 cable??? thanks for any info

No don't switch the box to a HD setting. And the picture quality is much better with the red, blue, and green component cables. This will put you in 480p.

Only if his TV supports progressive scan (480p). I had a TV that had component inputs, but didn't display 480p, so I would suggest checking. It's still the better video quality to use component cables over s-video, so I would plug it in anyway even if your TV doesn't display 480p.

yeah, it won't be in 480p, but by using component cables, it should make your games look a little better. Especially the colors.
