After Microsoft’s fall dashboard update promised to bring 1080p into your living rooms, a many people were dismayed over problems like screen tearing when using a VGA connection. Enough that Microsoft quickly promised another dashboard update to fix this one. That update landed today. The good news? It reported “improved support for HD video output over VGA”, along with improving wired headset performance and the recently played games list. The bad news? It didn’t actually fix the VGA problem.
Note that the fix does actually seem to work fine for regular component connections; the VGA output seems to be the main glitch. Surely Microsoft is diligently fixing up this bug, again, so we will likely see another fix in the coming weeks. Where again is that promised HDMI cable Microsoft?
