watching zune videos in 1080p hd resolution

High-definition video looks unbelievably good when you have the right TV and the right connection from your Xbox 360 console (either component video or HDMI, depending on your console and your HDTV). If you're not set up for high-def viewing, standard definition looks great, too.

To enjoy the highest-quality video experience from Zune Music + Video, you'll want to watch videos from Zune Video on an Xbox 360 console connected to an HDCP-enabled HDTV using, specifically, an HDMI video connection. An HDMI output from an Xbox 360 to a compatible TV or monitor delivers 1080p resolution.

Note

The highest possible resolution you can achieve using the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable is 1080i, which—while still incredibly detailed and still true high definition—is not as high definition as a 1080p image.
