I like lugging my 360 from the TV to my monitor and back again (read: banished from living room), but in both cases I noticed the same results. While the VGA output does result in crisper images, it's also kinda blurry compared to component. On component, colours are brighter, resulting in more vibrant images compared to VGA. My TV is the Samsung LA32R81B while my monitor is the BenQ FP241VW. Oh yeah, both my TV and monitor have VGA and component inputs, and my finding is identical on both the TV and monitor.
