How do i change the screen resolution on a Sharp Aquos LC37D43U to work with xbox 360?

I cant seem to find where on the television or on the xbox 360 the correct place where i can change the resolution. The xbox is currently playing on 480p (i saw that number flash on the screen once), but the tv supports 720p/1080i. How do i change the resolution so i can get the games in high definition? As a point of reference, i do not have the hdmi connector (not supported by my xbox 360, and all the component cables are connected correctly). I am also using the xbox 360 as my dvd player, so i'm guessing the resolution will improve the quality of those as well.



Also, my standard analog cable (no digital or HD box) is producing a poor picture on the TV. Is this due to the resolution or just due to the poor signal? Can anything be done to make it clearer (besides the obvious of buying a digital or HD box)?

the first answer is right about the resolution. next this is how you change the resolution of the 360. the main screen on the 360 is the ';dashboard'; if this does not come up at first. then press the x-box logo button in the middle top of the controller. a side bar will apear. press the yellow ';y'; button. this will bring you to the dashboard. press left or right till you get to the settings menu. then go to display. youcan change the resolutionoutput to 720p or 1080i. id pick 720p since thats the native resolution of your tv. (youcan try both if you like but you probably wont notice any difference). and thats it you just changed your output resolution to hd. this will only affect your 360 games. any dvd will still be output in 480p. also your cable box produces poor picture because lcds as a whole tend to make regular tv broadcasts (480i) look bad. what you can try is to use another output from the cable box. if you are using the regular cable wire (coax) then try using a composite output , thats the yellow, red and white, rca cables. like the ones dvd players use. this is if your cable box has those outputs. this has a little better quality then the regular cable wire. also if youcable box has a s-video output use that insead of the yellow wire. you still use the red and white for sound. but the s-video had the better picture over the yellow. so unless you want to get a hd box and hd subscription, then s-video is the best connection. then the yellow rca wire, then the regular cable wire (coax). try it out. good luck.How do i change the screen resolution on a Sharp Aquos LC37D43U to work with xbox 360?
The screen resolution is not controlled by the TV but by the equipment hooked up to it. You saw the 480p flash on the screen which means your xbox is outputting 480p. For you to get higher resolution, the Xbox must configured to output 720p/1080i. As for how that would be done, I don't have an xbox so I can't advise you on that part. However I do have an upconverting DVD player and I had to set it up to output the 720p signal in order for my HDTV to display in 720p so I believe you need to do the same for your Xbox.



As for analog cable producing a poor picture, part of it is due to the standard tv signal being 480i. To get the best possible picture, use the higest quality output that your cable box has. Quality from highest to lowest, HDMI, component, s-video and composite.



I hope this helps you.
