Some will and some wont. It can also depends on the quality of the cable and or converter. For instance, my new-er Sony Bravia LCD cant decode the signal on my DVI to Composite cable accurately. 720 dpi is distorted and 1080p/i says invalid format. But, using a DVI-to-HDMI adapter at the video card, and an HDMI cable to the TV, the signal is fine at either resolution. The DVI to Composite cable worked fine on my slightly older Samsung Dynaflat widescreen CRT.
With new new TV and Xbox 360 in-tow, I'm going to bite the bullet and upgrade to an HDMI capable A/V receiver. It will be in-line to natively support Blueray, so does anyone want a bunch of composite cables and a Sony A/V receiver? :-) Happy New Years everyone... -- ME2 On Wed, Dec 31, 2008 at 9:11 PM, RM <[email protected]> wrote: > There are a couple of web pages out there that attempt to document which > units can do the full 1920x1080 over the VGA port.
