Well, it isn't exactly HD... But from what I've heard computer monitors are pretty damn close.

My friend gave me his 360 VGA cable that he no longer uses and hooked it up to my PC monitor (it's only a smallish 19 inch thing with awkward widescreen, but it beats my old 17 inch TV with a back longer that its screen size) and DAMN everything looks so good! Even Halo 3 now looks great.

I hope to get CoD4 soon... I can't wait to see how good that looks.

Any VGA Cables on any console or anything looks several times better. I have to agree with you there, alot of Xbox games HAS to be ran on HD, take the new C&C for example, I cant read shit on there on my 22" TV I have in my room.

Enjoy your new looks, it adds a definite re-playable experience.

AH! I knew there was another game I wanted to get!

Now I've got CoD4, Orange Box and CnC 3.

Although I have two of those on PC, my PC sucks...

To get the full potential out of HD you need both an HDTV and the cables right?

... Yeah that's probably a dumb question. But I'd say even with a normal setup, a lot of games on HDTV's look great. CoD4 looks amazing on one of my friends smaller HDTV's, he should get the cables though.

Yeah you need the HDMI Cables, I believe they have like 3 extra prongs you have to plug them up in. (Or two, not 100% sure)

Edit- Or you can use Optical Out, which is pretty much the same. Its all Gold and shiny.

Oh and on a random note, even NES games look really sexy on HDTV's. My friends were playing Super Mario Bros on a big one a week ago or so and it looked really really "crisp" or something, it just looked great.
