Basically the problem is when I connect my Xbox to the monitor using HDMI the Color Setting in the menu says "YPbPr" under Input color format. This means that I have connected something using component (YPbPr) but I haven't.
As a result of this the quality I get from the xbox is really poor compared to what I got before when I used the HDMI.
I think this all happened when I tried to connect the TV to the monitor via component (YPbPr)
I have noticed that I cannot select 'Auto Select' in the input source menu which means the monitor thinks I have connected two displays. Which makes me believe this cause the problem because the monitor think I have connected both HDMI and YPbPr cables?
But when I connect my laptop using DVI-D I CAN change color setting from the menu but only when I connect HDMI that I have this issue
Please help! I tried factory reset, power cycle and everything but no luck
* Turn off the monitor * Unplug the monitor from the computer, TV, Xbox, etc. (ALL cables) * Unplug the monitor power cable from the rear of the monitor * Press and hold the monitor power button in for 3 seconds * Plug the monitor power cord directly into the wall socket. Plug the other end into the monitor * Reconnect only the HDMI cable to the monitor and the other end to the Xbox * Power on the Xbox * Power on the monitor * Press the Monitor Input Source Select button and choose HDMI
Just as an update, I tried using a different HDMI cable then a new xbox (I swapped mine saying there might be a problem with xbox graphics) and I still don't get HD quality.
So it is the monitor and I will try what Chris M said.
For the options in the xbox I get; (bold ones are my current settings)
*HDTV Setting - 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
*Reference Levels - Standard, Intermediate, Expanded (Tried all of them and they don't make much of a difference)
*HDMI Color Space - Auto, Source, RGB, YCbCr709, YCbCr601 (I used the current one as it says that the typical setting for HD and that's the one I used when I did get HD quality for a while)
Ok I have done what you said Chris and I get the following message "your display indicates that this resolution is not supported at 50hz" when I try to change the HDTV settings
Maybe the HDMI does not support 60Hz or I have to change the 50Hz to 60Hz in the xbox 360
Thing is you can't change the refresh rate with HDMI but I connected using composite and changed the rate to 60 and the when connected using the HDMI I still got the same message
I can't choose anything. I can only choose between 60Hz and 50Hz when I connect through component or composite.
So I chose 60 and then connected the HDMI cable and when I tried the 1080p it gives me that message saying the display doesn't support the resolution at 50Hz.
