Bad resolution when i plug in my xbox 360 to my philips 32PFL3606H/12 tv

You don't. The TV has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels; so it's already 1080p. The number of pixels can't be changed.

What you're probably getting mixed up with is the TV showing the resolution of the incoming signal when you change channels or go to a different source. Standard definition from cable might be flagged as 480i. DVD might show either as 480i, or 480p, or maybe 720p or 1080i or 1080p if you have a scaling DVD player and set it appropriately. HDTV on cable or satellite will show as 1080i or possibly 720p. Blu-rays and PS3/XBox 360 or PS4/Xbox One should show as 1080p when your TV is connected.

Whatever the source signal resolution, the TV will scale it up to fill the panel area of 1920x1080 pixels. So the TV is always using all the pixels, regardless of the resolution of the source signal.

Try manually choosing lower resolutions in your xbox display settings. My Insignia HDTV does that when switching resolutions like on Hulu in between commercials and then back to the show but only for a second or so. Also does this when going from the loading screens to the game screens for a few seconds when playing the game Split/Second

Your resolution settings on the xbox are too high for your currently used cables or tv. To reset your console's resolution follow these steps: To reset Xbox 360 console display settings

1. If there is a disc in the console, remove it.
2. Turn off the console.
3. Turn on the console by using your controller (its best to have the controller plugged into the console rather than just using the wireless). To do this, press and hold the controller's Xbox Guide button until your console turns on.
4. While the console is starting, press and hold the Y button and pull the right trigger at the same time. Continue holding the buttons when you see the Xbox 360 logo.
5. The console will restart and you will see the Xbox 360 logo again.
   The console's display settings are now reset to the defaults.

Hi,

Yes the Xbox 360 can certainly utilize full HD1080p resolution.

1. Check what resolution your xbox is sending to your tv. It should be set to 720p 1080i or 1080p in the video setting on the xbox
2. Make sure you are not also connecting to xbox with the composite video cable(yellow, red ,white). Should just be the hdmi running to the tv

Check in the settings on ps3 and make sure that it is set correctly to hdmi. Next on your tv menu screen for picture make sure all resolutions are set 720, 1080, etc

The first thing to try is to remove the external hard-drive from your Xbox and see if the picture comes back. If that doesn't work you may have the video resolution of the Xbox set too high for your TV to display. Try reducing the Xbox resolution and see if you can get a picture. There is a switch at the end of the cable where it plugs into the Xbox that says TV and HDTV. Try setting it to TV. If you know someone with another Xbox 360 that you can borrow you can use it to debug your problem. If their Xbox works on your TV try swapping out the cables. You can see if your Xbox works with their cables and if their Xbox works with your cables. You should be able to narrow your problem down to either the Xbox, the cables, or the TV setup.

Try resetting resolution and then tweakin sound setting in menu.

ok either the tv is screwed and has a line of bad pixels, or there is something wrong with your xbox graphics adapter on the motherboard. Try buying a new xbox video out cable. if that doesnt work, get it serviced

First, make sure you select either TV or HDTV selector on the Audio Video Cable that came with the XBOX. Second, if you chose TV plug the Audio/Video Cable connectot that are red, white , and yellow in color to your TV. Now see if you can see the Start up on the XBOX360.
If you still dont get anything, try plugging it on another television and see if that fixes your problem.
