I got out my Xbox 360 component cable and decided to check it out so I could answer your question and because I was curious, too. No, it does not support 1080p over the component video input. It should still look good at 1080i and it does allow the option of disabling over-scan on 1080i just like it does on 1080p. By the way, I actually had the Xbox 360 configured for 1080p on the component connection for a different device that does support 1080p and had to switch the cable off of HD to get picture so that I could figure out how to navigate to the screen mode option to take it off 1080p. I'd previously found that it does not support 1080p over the VGA input either. If you just must have 1080p with your existing Xbox 360, you could try a component to HDMI or VGA to HDMI converter box (I'd only trust a converter box to work right, not those converter cables some sell for those conversions). Be sure it either says it supports 1080p or 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (probably more applicable for VGA to HDMI) for input and output, as some don't support 1080p output.

Yes, this TV supports 1080p via component. This was a selling point for me, because I want to play my X-Box 360 games (Lost Planet) in 1080p.

Your computer's resolution is only limited by the video card and the current monitor. 1920 x 1080 is really just a standard HDTV resolution (16:9) but most all widescreen *computer* (monitor) resolutions are 16:10, so 1920 x 1200 is perfectly normal and since you already have a 1920 wide res to start with, the option to expand to 1920 x 1200 *should* show up as soon as the new monitor is connected and detected by the computer. If it does not, then you might indeed have to upgrade your video card IF you really want to use the max res. For example, my original resolution was 1024 x 768 (4:3) on my previous monitor. With the T260HD, I was able to change to 1600 x 1200 (also 4:3) which, on the T260HD, does have "black bars" on the side. I suspect it is simply because my video card is outdated that I cannot get the max res and so I should get one that definitely has widescreen capabilities, but it has not been that important lately so I've just not done it yet. I hope that helps! XD PS. Also, when you have the max res of a 16:10 screen, ie 1920 x 1200, you will always have "black bars" on the top and bottom of proper 1080 (or any 16:9) footage when displayed correctly. That can bother some ppl, so it depends on what you want to use the monitor for mainly, ie if you plan to watch a lot of shows on it or just for computer stuff. Altho of course, depending on your media player (on the comp) or when you are watching tv, you will also have the options to crop or zoom the picture which can fill the screen if you don't mind losing the edges as long as you can escape the "black bars". Just some food for thought ;P

I have the previous generation of this monitor. Full Resolution through HDMI is not supported on these. Dell decided not to include it in the firmware for the monitor as they did not see many people using devices on HDMI that would go above 1080p. As all dells come with at least on Displayport. If you have an active HDMI to Display port converter it would work coming from your video card to the monitor (your hdmi becoming displayport) as the monitor would see it as displayport. However, this only works if your videocard supports the HDMI versions and cabling as listed in everyone elses answers. I've been VERY happy with my previous purchase and would consider purchasing this version as a 2nd. I have the previous generation of this monitor.

Micheal Meyer is correct. Mine works fine at 1080P over VGA from the 360. Just got to get rid of the not supported message. See my reply to the post "X-Box 360 1080p doesnt work with this TV"

It supports 1080p INPUT. but it's native resolution is on 1280X800 so 720p is the best you are going to get.

Okay, I just connected it via HDMI. Big improvement. I don't understand why. I have a 720P TV and I thought component gives 720. But the HDMI really made a difference.Thanks

Component does support 720p (and even 1080i) but when part of an upconverting DVD player, all players are limited to 480p on component outs when playing standard DVD. The reason for this is the movie studios don't want you to be able to upconvert DVDs in the analog component domain as one can easily make high quality copies (bootlegs) with this method. When upconverted video is sent out the HDMI cable, it has content protection, called HDCP, to keep people from making high quality copies.Now you are getting the most out of your player, good for you.

My guess Gus is that when you''re first setting it to "external monitor", it's initially at a resolution that the TV can't handle, and thus the TV doesn't recognize the input. I found that with this TV, the best resolution for AWESOME clarity is 1360x768. In addition, the forms of resolution that your PC can output will depend on your video card. The forms of resolution might also vary depending on if you use VGA or DVI, as with my laptop. If you have a DVI output on your PC I would HIGHLY suggest that you buy a DVI-to-HDMI cable!!! (It doesn't need to be an expensive one because with digital cables there's no need for shielding).

I haven't seen that, I'm not sure why. Maybe due to the fact that many laptops nowadays have HDMI or DisplayPort. You could just get an adapter for your VGA or DVI, whichever you've got. Good chance you wont be able to get 1080 from it though. There are a lot of USB to HDMI external adapters, that might be the simplest solution for you.

It is supposed to display 1080p, but I have found that it is not quite that resolution, i think it is 720p. Any video is still recorded in 1080p, however. This field monitor works fine for the recording of HD video, but not for editing. If you want 1080p, get ready to empty your wallet!

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

Michael is correct. I hadn't used my camera during the past couple of months. I had previously set my video resolution to "Standard," because my desktop runs on XP and couldn't handle the higher resolution. I recently got a new lap top and, just last night, returned the resolution to its original. I found that it's sometimes confusing as to how to get to what you want in the menu. Just be patient!
