I bet it's the cable. Does your xbox have HDMI out? If so, I'd try that.

no its not. you cannot get 1080p through components. only through dvi or HDMI.

Im almost positive my samsung does, my xbox 360 is hooked up via component, and get 1080p signal while gaming.
Your tv this might not be the case, what do you mean by looks bad? how does it look different from 1080i?
Movies don't look the greatest on the xbox I feel, so if this is the case, it might be why....

depends on how close you sit in front of your TV/monitor.

Where is your proof in this? because hdmi can support 1080p? totally a blanket statement
Honestly, after 2 or so years in the AV field, and it being and continuing to be a hobby... My experience has taught me that for a long time HDMI caused more harm than good in a lot of cases... Granted it does give you your 1080p via blu ray and HD DVD, something you cannot do over component due to the copyrighting and security associated with those formats. But it also caused many compatability issues, as well as image issues due to the nature of the technology, one is digital and one is analog, some look better one way, others, as it seems look better the other way.
Sometimes HDMI isn the solution, and Component is the best way to get 1080i signal to a tv set, especially in the case of something such as an upscaling DVD player... The upscaler needs to be good enough to handle it all..

Unless were talking a TV over 50-55" in size... your not going to see much of a difference...
720p vs 1080p on a 32-40 inch LCD, you won't really see a change between the two.... also depends on the native resolution on the display

This is true, unless in the case of the larger size you sit on top of the tv, then it becomes noticeable, even at 40" if you're sitting to close you may notice it.
The larger the set the more pixelated it is at the same resolution due to the screen size being larger. Having 1080p ehances the resolution, therefore smaller pixels... but I dont think this is the issues hes talking about. For there to be noticeable quality difference there is something wrong...
Are you sure you XBox 360s av adaptor is switch to HDtv where it plugs into the xbox, and that in your settings you are set to widescreen and what not?
