I have a Gateway FHD2400 monitor, a PC, z5500 Surround Sound, and an Xbox 360. I tried connecting the Xbox to my monitor and it was incredibly blurry compared to being plugged into a television. Is it just not feasible to play Xbox 360 on a computer monitor at a quality comparable to a television?
==============================
Here is how everything is connected:
[Video] Xbox 360 > 3x Component Cables > Monitor.
[Audio] Xbox 360 > Optical Cable > Logitech z5500 control unit.
[Video] PC > VGA Cable > Monitor.
[Audio] PC > 3x 1/8th inch cables > Logitech z5500 control unit.
==============================
PC Monitor Native Resolution: 1920x1200.

I changed the Xbox 360 display settings to 1080p/1080i/720p/480p and all settings were still very blurry. I've read online that setting your monitor to "auto-detect settings," sometimes fixes this problem - but my monitor only allows for auto calibrating in VGA mode, not component. I have tried an HDMI cable, and an VGA to HDMI cable - both yielding the same blurry results.
What can I do, if anything?
