xbox360 elite comes with an HDMI connector so you can pass up to 1080p

You can get 1080p on the non-elite 360s using the VGA cable.

Nah, it's just an upconvert from what I read and only does 1080i. The HDMI is the only true 1080p

http://hardware.teamxbox.com/reviews...D-AV-Cable/p1/

"Speaking of resolutions, it is worth clarifying that there appears to be an error in the product page over at Xbox.com. It states that the video output settings for the Xbox 360, when using this cable includes 480p, 720p and 1080i. That is incorrect. The truth is that the resolutions you unlock when using the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV cable are as follows:"

Resolution
(pixel width
x
pixel height)

Megapixels
(MP)

Width
/
Height

Aspect Ratio

Standard

640x480

0.31

1.33

4:3

VGA

848x480

0.4

1.76

16:9

Widescreen 480

1024x768

0.79

1.33

4:3

XGA

1280x720

0.92

1.78

16:9

720p

1280x768

0.98

1.66

1280x1024

1.31

1.25

5:4

SXGA

1360x768

1.04

1.77

16:9

WXGA *
"Curiously, the VGA cable does not unlock the 1920x1080 (1080p) resolution or any resolution near the WUXGA standard, leading us to believe that when the Xbox 360 outputs 1080i using the HD component cable, it only does the old 540p-upconvert-to-1080i trick. That has been my suspicion from the beginning and this certainly backs up my theory"

That was during 360 launch... since then a dashboard update in fall 2006 allowed 1080p via VGA

VGA:

HD DVD - 1080p resolution and all others

DVD - Upscaled as high as 1080p resolution and all others

Games - 720p games upscaled to 1080p, also supports native-1080p games in the future
