Simple Yes / No Regarding 1080p
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-LN-S40...&s=audio-video
with the official xbox 360 vga cables, will this tv accept its 1080p output for games and hd-dvds?

Looking at this page it doesn't seem like it will over VGA. The Westinghouse 1080p sets all accept 1080p over VGA however.

There is going to be an update that will allow for 1080p sometime this fall.

I have heard that they're working on it.

My understanding is that the 360 will be able to display 1080p through VGA after the update, so yes it will be able to display 1080p through VGA cables.

thanks for the answers, but i still haven't really gotten the question i'm looking for.
will that specific tv accept the 1080p output, AFTER THE UPDATE, using the official vga cables? if not, please recommend another samsung LCD that does.
second, my uncle works for microsoft in the DM division, and there are still no plans for HDMI, because there truly is no need for it.
true HD can be achieved without it, so there's no point in using it yet.

It would be pretty pointless to offer 1080p through VGA if tvs won't support it. Nobody here knows about your specific TV. Contact the manufacturer and ask them. They'll know better than we will.

AFAIK all TVs that have a VGA connection allow Native Resolution on the VGA. So your checklist should go as follows.
Is the TV native 1080p?
Does the TV have VGA in?
Answer yes to both questions and your TV supports 1080p through VGA.
Oh and Fandango, I'm guessing it has to be Samsung because for the cost/quality equation Samsung cannot be beat. But that's obviously just my opinion.
