Question about LCD TV resolutions

[MBrown]

I was just trying to figure out what the best resolution setting for a xbox 360 is for a tv who's native res is 1366x768. When you hook a 360 up to vga the closest resolution is 1360x768. If you set the 360 to 1360 the TV is going to have to upscale. Is it better to set the resolution to a higher one on the 360 (1080) and let the TV downscale? Also neither 1366x768 or 1360x768 is the same ratio as 16:9

If your TV has 1:1 pixel mapping, I would personally go with 1360x768 and deal with the 3 pixel wide bars on either side of the screen. If it doesn't have 1:1, just try out the common resolutions and see which one looks best. Without owning a specific TV, it's pretty hard to tell you which one to pick. Some TVs scale better than others, and what looks great one one TV might look like arse on another. I would generally always recommend starting with the rez that is closest to the native resolution of the TV; however, that one isn't always the "best" looking. There are far too many sets on the market to make broad generalizations about which one will absolutely look best.
