    So my xbox died back in december, I made a thread about it here if some of you remember.  After waiting a month for them to send me what turned out to be a refurb, I finally set it up yesterday.  I hooked it up to the TV with the VGA cable so I could use the component input for my wii.  I tested it this morning and the display is shifted off to one side, the image is cut off on one side and there's a black border on the other.  The TV is a samsung 22" LCD with a native resolution of 1660x1050.  I did the obvious first step of messing with the resoultions in the settings but the TV won't display the image unless it's set to its native resolution.  I'd previously had the 360 hooked up to this TV with component and everything was fine, before that I had it connected to a monitor with the VGA cable and the was fine too.  Has anyone else had this issue and know of a fix?  I admit I haven't fiddled with it extensively so I can't say I've tried everything yet but I thought someone on here might have had a similar experience.

    Ok I just needed to mess with the display settings on the TV, now everything's fine.  It does seem like the color isn't as intense as when I had it hooked it up with component cables, I'd have to do a side by side comparison to be sure.
