I have owned the Mitzi for about 3 years now - haven't had any trouble, but I have never used the HDTV aspect of the TV until now.
That's where the trouble lies.
I just purchased an Xbox 360 yesterday, and hooked up the component video cables to the "DTV 420p - 1080i" component video input section of the TV.
I added an "OTHER" category to the input menu and referenced the DTV inputs.
THE PROBLEM: I can run the Xbox in 420p mode only. Whenever I select either the 720 or 1080 modes on the Xbox, the TV completely scrambles up. The Xbox works well on another (newer) TV in HD mode, so I know it isn't the unit.
That crappy NetCommand interface won't allow me to choose resolution (that I am aware of). So I am dead in the water for the time being. I was told the TV can handle HDTV of up to 1080i, since it is a CRT-based type TV, but this TV is not going for it.
Did I miss something? Is there an esoteric setting that I couldn't find in that clumsy menu? I know the TV is a bit old (couldn't find any posts on that model newer than 2003) but I am hoping someone can help!
