would HD vga cable have an effect?

Hi there, i bought this TV a while ago and wondered if the picture quality would improve if a bought an HD VGA cable, i currently use the scart cable that came with the core pack and feel that the picture could and should look better, would i be able to get higer defintion/contrast picture with it?

Cheers for any help.

VGA or the HD cables that come with the Premium pack would be an upgrade. I've heard its all personal preferance between the HD cables or the VGA, the one advantage I've seen with the Premium HD cables is that they also have the yellow, white and red A/V cables so if you take the 360 somewhere you don't need to worry about extra cables.

Maybe. Some people on here says it improves the picture quality while other people can't tell a difference. From what I heard it is suppost to take away the ragged edges from the picture. I would say try it out and if it doesn't improve the quality return it.

SCART is not HD. VGA is HD. So yes, it's worth trying out the VGA cables as you're almost guaranteed to get a better picture
