XBOX 360 AWFUL IMAGE QUALITY on my new VIZIO 1080p HDTC LCD!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so i just got a Vizio V0370M 2 months ago. I have xbox 360 elite with both HD component cables by rocketfish and HDMI cables by same maker. My LCD looks great with comcast digital cable tv and absolutely beast w/ Blurays but it is TERRIBLE w/ xbox 360 games!!


The graphics on games like COD4, Halo3, COD modern warfare 2, gears2, borderlands, etc---all look awful. They are poorly rendered, jagged lines, blocky, and TERRIBLE textures! It really looks like 1st gen xbox graphics. I will get some screenies for u all later.

I have my console/display settings set to 1080p. I tried 720p, 1080i and no improvement in quality. I tried using my HDMI and HD component--they look the same. Is there a way to manually set the vizio's resolution to match the xbox's? is it a refresh rate issue? Will adjusting the TV's settings like WS/fullscreen/full affect the quality?

I hooked up my xbox to my old sony 36 in XBR CRT HDTV and it looks way better. I understand the xbox upscales the images but this bad?? really??

ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
THANKS
