Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Re: Xbox 360 on a Dell 2407 Monitor

I know it is easy to go from DVI->VGA, it requires a cheap adapter. But, for VGA->DVI all the adapters I have seen are $200.00+. And, to add to that, I wouldn\'t be surprised if they have a bit of lag. Other people I have talked to, as well as myself, want Microsoft to release a DVI cable, but I haven\'t seen any indication that they will do so. We\'ll all have to wait and see, and if they do, maybe the monitor will support 1080 1:1 over DVI.

Another option is if Microsoft released an update to the 360 that allowed for 16:10 resolutions. This could probably happen, as I have read about quite a few people asking for it.

I don\'t know the reasoning behind not allowing the 1:1 option for 1080p. It almost looks like an oversight by Dell. In 720p mode and 1360x768 the 1:1 works just fine, and if your dead set on it, I would recommend the 1360x768 mode, as it is quite good. I still use the 1920x1080 over VGA and there is slight stretching, but I don\'t even notice when playing GoW, so it is a matter of personal preference. Congrats on the monitor purchase, and don\'t forget to turn the sharpness to 30.
