Xbox 360 gonna have DVI output?

[miri]

I am looking at the Xbox 360 but do not want to hook it up to my TV. My TV is nice but is not HDTV and only has component inputs. Id much rather play on my widescreen LCD at 1680x1050. Anyone know if the Xbox 360 will have DVI out?

1680x1050 will probably be out of the question

most of the new games are 720p res with 4xaa

thats 1280x720 progressive.

if its a Dell 24 incher youve got i think you'd be able to play in a 12x7 window with black borders round the image, and it would look good.

im just not sure about the DVI interface in a magazine ive got they say PS3 = 2xHDMI and XBOX360 = TBA

also Xbox will only support = 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i

720 is too small for your monitor, 1080 is too large and its interlaced.

Sounds like a good resolution for standard 17"/19" LCDs tho.

Sounds like a bad res for a standard 17/19 LCD as 1280 x 720 is widescreen, that would look annoying on a "smaller" lcd due to the black bars.

To the OP, I have no idea about the DVI out but you will be able to hook it to your LCD (Sounds like a Dell 2005 fpw) and it will play widescreen with only tiny bars on the side. Due to the physical pixels of a 2005 fpw I have no idea how sharp the picture will look because I have never ran anything on my 2005fpw at 1280x720 but as the monitor usually scales good I am willing to bet it will look nice.

on that monitor....cant you like physically run with say 640x480 pixels? and have the rest of the screen blank? so it doesnt stretch the image over the whole screen and make it look cack?
