Xbox 360 fall update in a few pictures

Nov 1st 2006 11:22PM (Engadget)

I'm using a Dell 2405FPW (widescreen PC monitor, native resolution of 1920x1200) connected to the Xbox360 via VGA cable. There is one new resolution available in the Dashboard: 1920x1080. I then disabled the scaling option on the Dell monitor (set it to 1:1 in the scaling menu). Now I'm getting exactly 1920x1080 displayed pixels on my 1920x1200 display. There are tiny (1/4") letterbox borders at the left and right (due to the 16x10 aspect ratio of the Dell) but DAMN does it look nice now. Admittedly, the signal is not digital (like HDMI) but this is as good as it gets for now on the 360.

POLL: Xbox 360 or XBOX 360?

At least for the original Xbox, Microsoft's official marketing terminology sheet states the following:

"Xbox� video game system from Microsoft"
Use to refer to Xbox on first mention in manuals and other print material. Note the trademark usage. �Xbox� can be used on subsequent mentions.

"Xbox console"
Use when referencing only the console. This differs from the "video game system," which represents the console, game, and peripherals together.
