Question

is our HDMI port on the xbox 360? I just bought a HDTV and the answers I have read suggest that the HDMI has better quality. We bought a HDMI cord just in case we needed it, but we cannot find the HDMI port on our 360. We have the power, Ethernet,and AV ports along with 3 USB ports but thats it. Do we not have one? are the component cables enough to give me the quality picture I want from my new TV??? PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Just stick with the component cable.  That's what I did and it looks great.  Oh, you need to buy a special HDMI cable that  is specially made for 360's.  It plugs into the 360 at the same spot the component cables do.

Answer 2

Yes, is the same with components 720p or 1080i, the difference is the digital signal in HDMI, but the analogical signal provides the same quality.

Answer 3

Yes, component cables will carry HD signal.

Answer 4

Last years xBox360 did not have HDMI.

Yes - component can carry all the video signals up to 1080p without a problem.

The HDMI port looks like an over-sized USB port. You said you found 3, but usually you find:

1 USB port

1 RJ45 jack for networking

1 HDMI jack

Check again, you may have just mistaken the HDMI jack for the USB jack.

I remember - the HDMI jack is right next to a L/R RCA output on a recent xBox. Look for this.

Answer 5

The standard XBox360 doesn't have it. You have to upgrade to the enhanced model to get HDMI output. Component can get you HD but only up to 1080i.
