2407 WFP & Xbox 360 - which settings you have?

Hello all, I have a Xbox360 on my 2407wfp a03 with microsoft vga cable in 1920 x 1080. My question is: Which settings (brightness, sharpness etc.) do you make for the best picture quality in games with the xbox360? That would be a great help for me and especially for other users too. I have in some games (lost planet, dead rising) alot of tearing with this lcd - other users too? Thank's alot for help/answers in advance. Greetings!

    you must put the sharpness on 30 to get rid of the lines on the bottom of the screen....brightness no higher than 50....contrast 50....and put the image mode on multimedia, it maintains the blacks best, in desktop and gaming mode you will notice the colors are more washed out....multimedia is best mode...enjoy

    Hi oHzEEnYc, thank you alot for your answer & help... :-) I have the brightness on 30 - 50 is to extrem for me. I will try the multimedia mode and contrast on 50. Turning the monitor off and on don't work for me with the tearing problem. Did you play with a 360 and this monitor too? Are you satisfied? Greetings!

    i bought this monitor specifically for my xbox 360...i get tearing when i change the display resolution in the 360 dashboard, then i have to power the monitor off then back on and the tearing disappears...i use the monster vga cable, but i do notice slight flickering sometimes, hard to notice, but it's there..i keep the display res at 1920x1080...but 720p resolutions look identical because the panel doesn't support 1920x1080p 16:9...it stays on fill...no wide mode...i am trying to get a rev A04 so that wont be a problem anymore...especially with the new 360 coming out next month w/hdmi....but yea...i noticed that multimedia mode preserves the blacks and doesnt wash out colors, great for dark games like F.E.A.R, really helps show off the contrast when u use the flashlight...great game by the way too! any questions just hit me up!

    I have tearing in the games lost planet and dead rising - and nothing help's - I use the original microsoft vga cable, I play in 1920x1080 too. I found in 720p via component the picture quality is not so good like vga. Youre right, fear is a great (dark) game but I think for gears of war is this multimedia mode good too. You think the new model - a04 is better for playing? Hmm, I think, I will stay now with the a03... ;-)

    in games like gears of war, u can adjust the brightness in the in game options, and also set the video mode to "vibrant"....games like lost planet and dead rising have v-sync issues, not tearing.... A04 is better...because 1080p is displayed i its native aspect ratio 16:9 while in the A03 it s locked on "fill" and the wide mode option is grayed out...

    if u order now, u will get the latest revision-A04...it has 1080p support over vga/dvi and i also heard component (not sure if 1080p over component is true)....great monitor..best bet is too start a thread for A04 owners...wait...there is one already up...u should post ur question there. even if component supports 1080p, ur better off with vga...and with the new 360 elite(black) coming out, u can use hdmi, with an hdmi-dvi-d adapter! now that's true digital 1080p!

    the only way u can connect 360 to dvi, is with the elite/ hdmi adaptor....the dvi on the dell is dvi-d....only accepts pure digital signals...vga to dvi adaptor is not possible in this case...just do vga on the 360...u will get every res...
