Young & Eager
I used to think I understood displays, HDTVs, and all the new resolutions but apparently I don't. I need some help making sure I get the best setup with my current devices.
Devices:
47'' Vizio 1080p 120hz TruLED (M470VT)
Input: Multiple HDMI, 1 Component Input, 1 red/white audio thing, one VGA
Output: 3.5mm Headphone jack, Optical
Vizio Soundbar
Input: 2 red/white connections, 1 optical
Time Warner Cable DVR
Output: HDMI
Xbox 360 First Generation
Output: Component and red/white audio
Questions:
EDIT: I should also point out that I turned off that Smooth Motion stuff on the TV because I can't stand that "Soap Opera" effect. Is that just for sports or something? There's no way people can actually like that setting...

Questions:
- Is my Xbox getting the best quality it can get with Component? Is there a way to get the first gen versions to HDMI? What about the audio quality?
- What's the best quality Netflix I can get out of xbox? The streaming doesn't seem like it's ultra high def to me.
- If Netflix via Xbox is poor, should I get a bluray player w/ apps?
- My DVR only has settings for 420i, 420p, 720p, 1080i, and auto; but when on "auto" it always adjusts the picture to 720p. Is this better? Should I manually set it to 1080i? If I get a different box from TWC, will I get 1080p?
