    Xbox Help Needed
    « on: March 31, 2013, 05:27:49 PM »
    Hello, so recently I bought a virgin HD box. I currently had my xbox hooked up to my monitor which has 2 HD ports. My xbox was working fine at this time. I then plugged my virgin box into the spare HD slot on my monitor and the virgin box is working fine. The problem I am having is that the xbox gameplay looks blurry, and pixelated. I am not sure why this is happening but I have checked to see if the xbox is still in 1080p and it is, I turned the monitor off and on, I unplugged the cables and switched slots, I unplugged the virgin box and none of this worked. Also, From what I can see there are no settings that effect resoloution on the monitor itself.
    My monitor is a Philips IPS Brilliance HD monitor.
    Help will be appreciated.

    One thing comes to mind = is there an 'auto' button on the monitor? Might want to give that button a press.

      There is an auto button but it has been shaded out so I am unable to press it.

      That's strange....

      Try adjusting the resolution down on the Xbox. Set output to 720P and see if it looks any better.

        Thanks, What I did in the end was swapped my PC monitor and Xbox monitor and It looks fine on both now.
        Thanks for the help.
