Xbox 360 fails to sync with my monitor
I have connected my xbox 360 to my computer monitor so i can easily switch between without having to use different monitors. Thing is that my monitor is HD and the xbox interface is not HD. In fact, it is so blury and pixelated that it's impossible to see enemies comming from far. It's not game related, this blur comes as soon as i boot up the xbox and enter the menu. I'm not sure if this has to do about whether i'm using HDMI or RGB or anything else (I use AV2 by the way). I switched from AV1 to AV2 because i noticed a slight difference, but still looks bad. So i tried adjusting the settings on xbox, and PAL 50 Hz seems to be fixing the problem (Default was PAL 60 Hz for some reason) but NONE of my games support 50 Hz, so it prompts me to change it back to 60 Hz. So what the hell, is there any way to escape this hell?
P.S: My xbox and games are both using PAL format.

By saying your xbox interface isn't HD you've already solved your problem! What model of the xbox do you own? If its an older generation model then you should upgrade to a newer model that supports HDMI ports. Consoles are a pretty as is type of device and in order to keep up to date with graphics they release new models while scrapping old ones. Test a friend's xbox on your monitor to confirm the issue is with the old xbox and not your monitor. Use different cables to also rule out any issues that might arise with faulty cabling.

Why is my Xbox not connecting to my monitor?
Make sure that the HDMI cable is in the HDMI-OUT port on the Xbox One console. Try a different HDMI port. It's entirely possible that an HDMI port on your TV could be broken or damaged. If you have additional HDMI ports on your television model, try plugging the HDMI cable into each of them to see if they work.Can you connect an Xbox 360 to a monitor?
The HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) cable is the most common cable to use with HDTV and high-definition monitors. Not all original Xbox 360 consoles have an HDMI port. Connect the HDMI cable to the HDMI port. Connect the other end of the HDMI cable to the HDMI input on your HDTV or monitor.Xbox 360 not displaying on samsung TV
