360 to connect via D-Sub connector?

[The M.A.R.T.]

A friend of mine get's it 360 soon. He can get a strange brand HDTV with these specs and name:

Tatung V27DMCX

27" LCD Display
Wide Screen
Resolution1280 x 720 (WXGA)
Progressive Scanning
HDTV Ready, up to 720p/1080i via D-Sub connector
2 Scart
Teletext 255 Pages
PIP under PC mode
Automatic Program Search
Child Lock
Subwoofer Output
Aspect Ratio 16:9
Display colors 16.7 M
Contrast Ratio: 600 : 1 (Typical)
Brightness: 550 cd / m2 (Typical)
Viewing Angle (H / V) 170o / 170o
Response Time (GTG): 16 ms

It has a D-Sub connector but is 720p and has the right resolution. Is there a sort of connector to put on the component plugs? Or is there a complete new cable that can be bought to connect it? It seems that this TV has a lack of component connection

It also lacks a good responce time and contrast ratio.. And what's with the 27"? Normally a TV is 26" or 32"... strange tv

Well it depends. I mean I have a Sony screen for office 17 inch but also HDTV component which officially is also 16 ms. But it gives no ghosting and all games look really great. But still. Yup it's a strange TV it's some thing from China or so. He can get it with his mobile subscription on a phone But still, anyone knows if the connector can be done?

The resolution is exact 720p and that's great. No stretching no black lines besides the screens. But still the connector...

About the D-sub.. Isn't it simply a VGA connector?

In other words, you can attach the 360 with a VGA cable and you're set to go..

D-Sub is VGA. But the usage of HDTV ready is wrong. HDTV ready requires HDCP support.

Could be I'm not into connectors. But thanks! THat sounds great. If his TV performs great on the 360 I will post it here. Even better I'll get that screen myself also with a new mobile subscription haha

Well, the resolution from the TV is 1280 x 720 so I guess VGA will do just fine that's no component HD but resolution is right

If anyone is curious, this TV is about 550 Euro's in The Netherlands and here is some sort of review:
