Your TV is a 1366x768 (720p/768p) native resolution. It will take a 1080i or 1080p signal and downconvert it to its native resolution of 768p. What do you have your 360 set to (1080p/720p)?? It should not really matter as the TV should easily down convert and or de-interlace the 1080i/p or upconvert the 720p. Did you try 720p and if so do you get the same results?? If so it sounds like an issue with the TV's scaller/de-interlacer and should be returned. I have a 768p Panny plasma and my 360 works great at any setting. I use 1080p since it is better to have have your TV downconvert vs. upconvert, even if the value is greater from my findings...
Yeah I'm using Microsoft's cable.

Will it better to have a 1080p signal or to have the 720p signal to use with my TV? If so then how is that? Does it affect motion and such by setting your setting at a higher resolution?

I tried the 720, 1080p and 480p and all of them show the interference. Whats more is that my TV does not display Red. Instead the RED static is shown as interference (look at the picture in the original post).

Please answer as soon as possible as I have this weekend before thanksgiving to return it and dont want to ruin the big show...

I tried the PS3 with HDMI connection and it works perfectly fine. I might as well buy the Xbox HDMI adapter for the 360.
I don't really need to use Component connections, but are there any other uses for component connections? Do I need component connections?
