    Hello everyone Will a 1080i TV work well with older game consoles that use a Composite Cable connection? :)

    I've never owned a 1080i TV before and I'm hoping that someone who has / or still owns a 1080i TV responds to this inquiry. If you respond to this, thank you very much for your assistance regarding this matter, I really appreciate it Will a 1080i TV work well with older game consoles that use a Composite Cable connection? :)

    Will a 1080i TV work well with older game consoles that use a Composite Cable connection? Just to be clear, I am refering the Original Playstation One, Sega Dreamcast, and Original Xbox.

    With that being said, I am posting this here on the Xbox Forums because the primary intent of this inquiry is directed towards my Original Xbox. The very fact that the Original Playstaion One and Sega Dreamcast can benefit from the 1080i TV is just an added

    Using HDMI and Composite video cables at the same time?

    [quote user="KillaSammich"]So my question is would it be possible to instead just have both the HDMI and Composite cables hooked up to the TV, so that instead of swapping wires around every time, I can just change inputs on the TV when I want to watch Netflix?[/quote]HDMI
    and AV port cables cannot be connected at the same time, with the exception of the A/V dongle that was provided with the old HDMI cable kit. Connecting both is not supported. Doing so "confuses" the 360.



    With your specific TV, there's no point. You have a rear projection CRT TV. It doesn't support anything better than 1080i. Pick up a Component (red/green/blue) AV cable. That will provide you with 1080i.

    Great video, no sound HDMI

    Hi I just set up my new Xbox (black, slim, 4gb) last night to my year old Samsung LCD tv. I attempted to use my own HDMI cable that seems to work correctly when connecting my iPad to my tv (with video and sound). But with my Xbox I can' see great picture
    but no sound. I used the AV composite cables to ensure sound was working with the new Xbox; (it's sad xbox doesn't include HD composite cables like they used to; my 6 year old xbox was stolen including the hd composite cables hence the need for a new system.)
    I welcome any suggestions . Thanks Brent

    what are the differences between xbox 360 4gb slim and 250 gb slim,

    The slim in combination with the composite out cable should still work with your tv, almost all older tv's have those 'older' connections be sure to check the connections on the TV, see the link I posted earlier.

    Xbox Video movies come in way too dark.

    Make that composite cables, 1080i on an lcd

    The game is displayed on half the screen

    I haven't another TV or cable to check. I think the problem is still TV. It's the old model. But Microsoft should have written on the packaging or instructions that the console is limited support older model TV via composite cable.

    360 turning off tv?

    It could be an issue with either the TV or the HDMI cable. Have you tried to use a different cable or hooked up the composite cables to test?

    If you connect the composite cables and this issue no longer occurs then the issue would lie with the TV itself.

    Console asks me to switch to 60hz when trying to launch feeding frenzy which isn't possible in display settings for a HD monitor

    This was a problem with some of the early PAL 360 titles. Normally it only effected VGA connections, but it can also affect HDMI connections too. I think Feeding Frenzy came out before the Xbox 360 included HDMI as standard.

    Anyway I digress. There is a way to fix it, but you'll need the original SD composite cables your console came with, and in your case, access to a TV with SD composite inputs (the yellow, white and red connectors).

    Note: The following fix only needs to be done once.

    Assuming you have a TV, here is what to do:

    1. Disconnect your console from the monitor, remove the HDMI cable and insert the Xbox 360 composite cable. Connect these cables to the TV and turn on your console.

    2. Go to the Display settings screen and change the display to 60Hz.

    3. Turn it off, disconnect the cables, and set your console back to the PC monitor again with HDMI. If all goes well, your game should now work, and it should continue to work from now on.

    Let us know how you get on.
