So I have the Panasonic 42" EDTV most people recieved that is 480p.

Now for those of you that have it hooked up to a Xbox 360, what display setting did you choose??? How is both you 360 and plasma setup. I ask because i went into the 360 display settings and mine was set to 480p. I chose 1080i and it displayed. Will this hurt my tv?

I don't think it will hurt anything, but why even set the 360 to an HD resolution if your TV is limited to 480p?

Wouldnt a 720p signal downscaled to 480p look better?

Odd question...could you not just set it 720p and see for yourself

I don't understand how it would look better, you have the same amount of pixels, I could be wrong though.

Hmmm... I'm guessing that your TV is doing the scaling. My gut feeling is that it would not look any better, but I honestly don't have the technical knowledge to answer that with certainty.

It won't hurt anything, it will just down convert the signal to 480p

When I was looking up projectors that were 480p they claimed feeding hd content into them looked better then the sd signals because it was feeding higher pixals and the pj was downscaling it. Instead of a sd lower pixal input being manupliated to progressive. You fed it a much better picture to begin with to downscale. Keep in mind these were all EDTV Pj's that took in computer res and HDTV res through the componant or dvi inputs.

FWIW, my 720p native DLP looks better when I set my cable box to output a 1080i signal vs. a 720p signal.
