TV probs

[Headshot]

iv got a 21" LCD pc moniter, when i play old xbox games the picture is too streached so every thing looks taller than it is and on halo 2 the letter on the menus are reli bad, is there any thing to do about it(my screen has these resolutions:
1340-1280, 1280-1024, 1280-780, 1280-768, 1280-720, 868-608 and 6080 by 420(these numbers are roff i mite have got an odd number wrong))

I am sure 1280-780 is the best possible Widescreen setting for you. I use that on my 45inch HDTV with my Media Centre PC.

1280-720 should be used if your monitor is not Widescreen.

4:3(square) tv signal, 16:9 is wide screen some ofthem resolutions are widescreen andnormal. ifyour playing an old game some of them are made for widescreen some arnt. im guessing you play ona low res when using your oldxbox gamesunless your using them onyour 360.

i think itsjustthe way you picture is set up on your tv, there may be an aspect ratio buttonon your remote try usingthat

iam using it on my 360 so iam guessing 1280 720 is the best then

iv just found out its becouse my moniter dosnt work on 50hz so it wont let me download a patch.. is there anyway to get it working on 50hz in stead of 60?

I dunno.. Really though, you should just play in the screen's native resolution.

plug your 360 into a normal TV not via the VGA cable, then boot it up, go to the display settings, change to 50hz or 60hz (dont know which one you need) then plug it all back into the monitor and jobs a good en
