hdmi xbox

Got the boy an xbox 360 for xmas, it does say its got an hd cable in the box just an av cable. It does have the hdmi logo though.

so will i need to buy one, is it a normal hd/hd cable or something sily

 

Can you find the deal online to see if it has one? I have a feeling my 360 elite didnt come with one.
The HDMI logo is just saying that the Xbox has that port.
Just a standard hdmi-hdmi cable will do, nothing expensive but make sure your TV has HDMI!

 

as far as i know the elites came with a hdmi, i know mine and my mates did.

 

so a standard hd/hd cable then

thanks

 

Yup. Normal HDMI cable will do fine. And for all the older xbox users, like me, you can use a component video cable and still get full 1080P HD ;0)

thanks Gurds, off to my local place tomorrow then.

 

I recently bought an Xbox 360 250gb without kinect and it came with a component cable. Not a HDMI cable. A good quality HDMI cable is much better, I'm using a rubbish one and the screen is fuzzy.

 

It's a digital signal. If you get poor signal issues, you'd get macroblocking which is cubes of distortion. If your getting a fuzzy picture I'd check that you have the xbox set to output full 1080P and also that your tv/monitor can handle that resolution too.

I checked everything when I set it up. Unfortunately it is an old plasma TV now and coupled with a low quality HDMI the screen goes fuzzy when displaying white colours

 

Dont you have to go into the actual XBOX settings so you can tune it to the HDMI so it registers that it is plugged in?

 

yes i did
