So, a month ago I finally decided to remove my xbox from my living room TV, and ended up putting it in my room. I hooked it up using a 7 foot hdmi cable, and my VGA input is hooked up to my PC. When I play, it up scales my games like battlefield 4 and COD ghosts to fit my 1900x1200 resolution, and it ends up looking like crap? Help for fixes please? I'm kinda a resolution freak, and I can't stand playing games like this, lol. Thanks!

You need to change the resolution of the Xbox. Try setting it to 1920x1200. If it doesn't have that then 1920x1080..

That's really the only way it goes, I think. If you're really that big a resolution freak, then the best fix would be to sell all your Xbox 360 multiplatform games and buy them again on your PC. I have the same setup at home: a PC and an Xbox 360 connected to a 23", 1080p monitor, but I think it's better for me because I'm using a 16:9 aspect ratio monitor as compared to your 16:10 aspect ratio, hence, even when upscaled things at least aren't stretched or anything like that which is probably an effect you're getting.
