So I was moving my Xbox from one room to another, and I began to set it up, but when I turned the TV on, nothing. So I pulled the Hdmi cable out of the back of my Xbox, and plugged it into my Bluray player, and it worked. Since it's not my cable, I'm wondering if there's any way I can fix this problem. Any help is appreciated, Thanks, -BZ1

Here's the deal: I have an older Xbox 360 (white with 30GB HD) that has the trapezoidal shaped output for either Composite or Component. I have been using it via Composite (red/white/yellow) on an SD TV (480i) for some time now due to ease of use. With Halo 4 coming out soon, I want to play it on my 55" HDTV (Sony Bravia model# KDL-55ex710) for the full effect. I transferred the Xbox 360 over and ordered an HD Component (red/white/red/blue/green) cable since my older model doesn't have an HDMI output. I popped in Reach, and the resolution and image of it looked quite wonderful. It was running 1080p no problem. The only problem is that there was about a 0.5 second input lag with the haptic feedback. I pressed the A button, and my Spartan jumped 0.5 seconds later. It was extremely agitating. I switched back to my SD TV since there is input lag whatsoever, but now yearn to play on the HDTV for Halo 4 due to the amazing graphics, larger TV, and, I mean, come on, it's a 55" HDTV. My question is: what can I do to reduce or completely eliminate input lag on the HDTV? From the research I've conducted so far, I've found that a "Game Mode" on the HDTV eliminates a lot of the background video processing, but my Sony Bravia doesn't have one. I've also asked myself if upgrading to a new Xbox 360 (black one) and use the HDMI output (since it's a digital cable instead of optical) would reduce or eliminate the input lag, but have found that that wouldn't produce a noticeable difference. Does anyone have any suggestions or methods that they use personally? I would love if an avid techy could supply some recommendations! P.S. The Bravia has 120Hz Trumotion, if that tells you more about the refresh rate. TL;DR - How do I eliminate input lag on an HDTV for gaming?
