Well since many Xbox 360 games aren't actually made for 1080p, but 720p, the most you can do is just have your games upscaled using whatever methods (if there are any) in the Xbox's display settings to 1080p, which doesn't look too much better. If you're planning on playing Final Fantasy XIII on the Xbox. Unfortunately you got the wrong copy if you're expecting beautiful HD. The Xbox version has compressed, lower quality FMV sequences, and I believe the entire game is only upscaled from 576p, which isn't even HD. So if you were excited to play FFXIII in HD, you should have gone with the PS3 version. Reasons for this is because Xbox discs are only DVDs and can only hold less data, compared to a Blu-ray.

But the point is, if your TV IS 720p, then have it set to 720p, and it's all good. If your TV is 1080p, set it to 1080p, and it'll be just fine. I suggest you keep it as it is, and if games are only 720p, and are upscaled, it's no big deal. It's not like it's going to diminish the graphic quality very much. Try the highest definition you can set your Xbox to.
