Xbox Best Connection to Digital TV
Having recently bought a Sony digital TV and bearing in mind that Father Christmas will be bringing me...I mean my son an Xbox. What is the best way to connect one to the other for optimum performance?
The TV has a scart available at the rear and an s connector. The other connecters Red White and Yellow (Forget what they're called) are at the front so I'd prefer the Scart/s connector idea.
I'm way out of date as the last thing I had was a playstation years ago which used an RF lead. Do any of these come with the Xbox.
All help with this would me much appreciated as I'd like to get things sorted before Christmas.
Regards

Get the advanced cable, it's a scart cable with RGB enabled. Then make sure your tellys spare scart socket is RGB enabled, if not get a splitter. The difference saved me from buying a new TV.

A fully wired Scart Splitter / Junction Box does the job for me. XBox is fine, Playstation interferes with the automatic screen ratio switching.

I too have a manual RGB switcher box for my Xbox/PS2/GC/Sky works a treat and screen ratio switching works fine too Also use an optical splitter for sound. Don't touch the auto-switching devices IMO, all the ones I have tried give bad ghosting.

The manual ones can be bought from PCWORLD.... about £15.00 (I use one with my plasma and it's fine..... no interference.
BTW.... forget S-ViDEO. If your set takes RGB use that as it's far better.

Just buy the 3rd party scart, does RGB, S-video and comes with and optical wire for the optical out socket. I only paid 15 which is less than the official one and the build quality is top notch!
BTW is the autoswitching one from argos crap?
