Xbox picture quality question
The quality of my Xbox is not as sharp as it used to be now that I have a bigger TV. Is this always the case with bigger Tvs or do any of you have advice that could help me out?

Get an S-video cable if you don't already have one. Not sure why it wouldn't look as good unless it's maybe flaws you can notice now that they're bigger.

...or component video, which I'd imagine most larger TVs would support nowadays. I've never tried S-Video with my XBox and 36" VVega, but it looks razor sharp with component video.
It could look differently than your previous television because the settings were probably quite different. Fiddle around with the settings and get things the way you like 'em, and you might be pleased.

masterchief783: Are you saying you went from component to S-Video and felt that the latter looked better? Interesting.
If that's not the case, I'm not sure why you'd recommend s-video over component. I admittedly haven't tried an s-video connection with the XBox, having used component since day one, but I don't see how it could offer an improvement.
