1080p Question

I upgraded to an Elite today and went from a 360 with a 20GB HD and no HDMI input to one that has both. When I was using component cables with the old 360 I was able to set the display to 1080p, but with the Elite and the HDMI used for the display, that option isnt available in the menu. I know true 1080p cant be gotten from a component cable, but I was able to get it with component cables.Why would this be? And didnt the last update have something integrated into it where you could override the display options or something? I read that somewhere on Major Nelsons blog a while back.Thanks for the help. :)1080p Question

I have a pro with hdmi and it goes to 1080p, maybe its just an elite issue?

From memory (I haven't played with the system settings in a while), I've been using 1080p through component cables as well.
u can get 1080p through component only if your TV accepts it, most TVs get 1080p through HDMI and VGA

Exactly,you can get 1080p using component cables...TC---you should do some researching
1080p is only capable through component if it's connected to a HDTV that accepts analog 1080p. These TVs are generally

older. Link your TV/HDMI version.

Whats the difference between analog 1080p and true?
isn't it analog and digital?i have a 42'' hdtv that i did both hookups with and the hdmi comes in a little cleaner and crisper.the best example i noticed is when the little popup indicator comes up saying a friend is online, the letters of the words looked more pixelated with components.hdmi>vga>component
