What kind of video in? Composite Video? S-Video? Component Video?

If Component Video, then you can just use the cable that came with your Xbox 360 (assuming you purchase Premium version).

Uhm, you still haven't answered my question. Let me rephrase my question.

You said you have 30" LCD that you used as TV and it has video in. My question was, what kind of video in your LCD TV has? Is it composite, S-Video, or component?

Maybe it's easier if you can just give me the brand and model of your LCD. smile.gif

Is this the LCD-TV you mean?

It's PowerSpec LC30D, since you didn't give any specific model number, I assume it's this one.

If this is your LCD TV, you can get HDTV resolution by using the Component Video input that come with your Xbox 360.

How to connect:

1. Turn off the Xbox 360 console.

2. Connect the audio-visual (AV) connector on the Component HD AV Cable to the AV port on the Xbox 360 console.

3. Set the HDTV switch on the AV Connector from "TV" to "HDTV".

4. Connect the red, green, and blue RCA connectors on the Component HD AV Cable to the corresponding color input jacks on the high-definition TV. Do not use the yellow RCA composite video connector.

5. Connect the red and white RCA audio connectors on the Component HD AV Cable to the corresponding colored input jacks on the HDTV.

6. Turn on the Xbox 360 console. From the System section, you can change your display and HDTV settings. Select the appropriate high-definition video setting for the HDTV.
