Does the picture quality improve (ex. sports scores becoming more easily read)? I want to connect my SD cable(composite) box to a xbox one.

I do not believe it improves quality. I think it only converts an analogy to a digital signal with the same quality. I use it to connect an old DVD player to an HD TV and that works very well.

I think it will upconvert any video source to 1080p. I am reading the info and I have bought it from amazon, but I haven't receive it yet.It won't improve the image as long as you don't have a good video source like HDMI. HDMI and component cables provide up to 1080i resolution (similar to 720p). Blue ray and PS3 are the only source with pure 1080p.Just make sure your TV supports 1080p, otherwise it won't make any difference.

When I tried using the composite upconversion for the Wii, the picture looked terrible! It was very grainy and there were bars on all 4 sides. I have since bought a componet cable for the Wii and the picture quality is much better but there are still bars around the picture. When the Wii is connected directly to my 55" Sony LCD, it looks perfect. I called Sony support and they thought the receiver was defective so I exchanged it for a new DH820, and had the same results.

I don't know about it being able to improve the quality of the file passing through. But it does allow you to connect items which need composite jacks and you only have svideo available. I used this to connect my older wd media player to a TV which didn't have the yellow video input jack.

I have been tweaking my new set's picture for 3 days now. The high def is terrific but I only get 12 channels of HD. Since 50% of my viewing will be standard def cable channels, I am very disappointed that I can't get the SD picture to a level of acceptability. (I feel compelled to go to another room and watch non-HD programs on my old 36" CRT.) Any suggestions on setting changes for SD programs? A lot of the screen is blurry and pixelated (with or without the 120-Hz on).

Not directly...My XBox One is connected to my receiver and I run this 50 ft cable from the Receiver across the room to my HD Projector. It works seemlessly without any delays when playing XBox One games or HD movies. I've had it for quite a while now. This is a great product.

I also had the same dilema, hooking up my xbox and cable box to the reciever. I ran the HDMI from both to my tv, ran an optical out from tv to sony reciever and had awesome sound.. Does kind of suck that there are no HDMI inputs but I still made it work for me.

You can take the Composite (Yellow = Video, Red and White for Audio) out from a device and the box will convert the signals to HDMI. I found the quality to be very good. If I read your question right, the answer is NO. I do not have an Xbox and my Monitors all have HDMI.

It depends. THis is hdmi to hdmi connector...some devices have hdmi to micro hdmi....make sure the xbox has same hdmi plug as the one on back of the tv. But if you're asking if this is good enough yes its a solid quality item.

Yes and no. Let me explain. The Xbox One only comes with an HDMI out. However, you can purchase cables/converters that will go HDMI-&gt; component or standard A/V. I can't recommend any b/c I don't have any personal experience with them but if you search on Amazon you'll find plenty. But keep in mind the Xbox One is geared toward HD content and games. If you don't use an HD TV you are not getting the full benefit of the console. It would be like buying a sports car and never driving over 40 MPH. If you are going to shell out the almost $500.00 for the Xbox One then you owe it to yourself to upgrade your TV too. HD content will become the norm. Lastly, as of now most of the games for the One are being produced for the 360, which does have standard outputs. So if you don't have a HD TV now stick with the 360 and wait till you upgrade your TV. Also, if you look there are very few One games out now. Over the next few months more will be coming out but there is a very small pool of One games. So you may be better off waiting till you upgrade your TV to buy a One anyway. Hope this helps.

Ditto for the Cablevision hd box - much better video using the component video inputs. Thanks for sharing.

I'm using game mode as well for gaming & it looks good, had to tweak the color saturation some though. I will be trying standard on my blu-ray input hopefully in the next few days, im hoping it works. I thought i had tried that but i honestly dont remember now if i did or not. Thanks for your input on your experience. I would have sent it back by now if I had not run across this post.

Yeah, I ended up buying component cables for my consoles. The only problem is the game cube is now B&W; since I plugged it's video cable in the first component input. Not an issue, I can use the Wii to play them if needed...Thanks for the reply!

It depends. Like most HD televisions standard definition looks fine. If it's a tv station make sure your cable box is a HD box otherwise it will be fuzzy. Other devices such as consoles look fine just not as defined

Be sure to follow Chompy's advice, turn the sharpness level to *zero*. That helps a lot. At first I was so disappointed with the performance of this tv for xbox one. After I turned the sharpness level to 0 everything changed. It's not blur anymore and the quality of the picture is amazing!

SD looks great (for SD...) on my TV. Perhaps it's the source? I use Comcast / Xfinity.

No I don't have this system but I was gonna buy it soon. This would be primarily for playing my 360 so any potential problems with that gets me concerned about it. Are all your cables hdmi 1.4? Even though I don't think that is the problem I always wondered if I ran my PS3 or 360 with hdmi 1.4 to the receiver and the one to the t.v is 1.3 or 1.2 if it would cause problems with the picture. I have always opted for a whole theater in a box but am recently building a surround sound and am trying to learn the system a little bit first.
