    Good question. I been meaning to look up screen controls when using the HDMI-in. Mine screen looks just a bit blue as well when using the Xbox. I noticed the brightness (FN) keys no longer function when switching over to HDMI-in.

    Mine appears slightly fuzzy, with fuzzy circles on my PS3 XMB. During gaming it looks fine though. Don't think we can adjust anything cuz it's not exactly a TV---it's more like a direct connection to the screen, sadly :(

    The quality got better with a better cable, actually. Forever thankful to the person who recommended I buy the new cable :)
