I thought I might make it clear that the examples you used for issues with the VGA are actually quite normal. These are not defects at all. A defect would be image break up or some sort of fragmentation with the signal. The fact of the matter is that if you were to hook your computer up to the same 1080p monitor, you would find the same conclusion with the image. I'm not saying its perfect but I prefer the VGA output because the darks are not too dark. Playing the same games with the component cables made it difficult to play games like Splinter cell because the details could not be made out in the shaded areas. When I had the same game running with VGA I noticed not only a sharper picture due to 1080p but the contrast was a lot better. The fact is that the VGA cables are giving you the PC effect. If I had this monitor hooked up to my computer, I could adjust the contrast and color further from the desktop. As for 360, if you notice, once you are in PC mode that you lose certain options to adjust the screen contrast, etc. This is apparent whether you have a 360 or PC wired into the 1080p monitor. All Microsoft needs to do is add, via another update, some filters to adjust the video contrast and brightness levels. This would make it more like my PC funtionality where I have that control. So, your examples are not really refects, its the monitor's default display setting for the PC mode and all we need is the ability to adjust the contrast levels for 360 output. That's all!
