    If I connected the 360 via the VGA cable, would the HD quality be just as good as component?

    Yeah, to the eye you won't notice a huge amount of difference. If any. I usually pick up on the contrast or colour difference, but nothing to do with the actually picture quality.

    That sounds perfect.

    So for connecting up laptop, I'd just need a normal DVI (male) to DVI (male) cable? Would it definitely be in HD quality?!

    Also would TV automatically get right settings for HD and stuff or would I have to set it up? As I'd have no idea of what to set resolutions to etc.

    Also, I have a Nvidia 7900 GTX, I'm aware the graphics card has to be compatible with the LCD, something to do with resolution, how do I know if mine will be?
