Overpriced
(September 30, 2008) |
|
This cable works perfectly fine, but I have given it a low score for two reasons. Firstly, the cables that go to your speakers are only about a foot long from momitor connecter end. Basically this means that unless you have your PC speakers right next to your monitor, the cable will not be long enough to plug into them. Secondly, if you will be using the monitor for your PC and 360, this cable does not have a splitter to connect both at the same time. If you will be swapping between the two, get another cable.
I gave this a low score because it is overpriced compared to other cables, and I'd have expected a lot more.

VGA AV Cable Review
(May 05, 2008) |
|
Cable made of good strong materials. This is a cheap way to experience HD quality by plugging your xbox into your LCD TV / TFT PC monitor. Some people have given a bad review explaining they haven't noticed a difference this may be due to the settings not being altered upon use of the cable.
So don't forget to turn up the resolution to 720p in the console settings or you won't see any difference. |

Absolutely Rubbish

I purchased this product hopeing it would improve the picture quality of my component cable. To be honest there was nothing wrong with the component, the picture was clear, sharp and the colours were vibrant. THIS cable however made the picture quality plumet completely. The screen had a dull shadow of grey coating it and the small details like edges of straight lines were all fuzzy, clearly visable from my seat around 2 meters away. Also it made the screen a fraction smaller and made everything seem more streched.
Take my advice, if you want something as good as HDMI, get or stick with compenent cables. In my own opinion, compenent is just as a good as HDMI. My friend has the eilte, on the same sized tv as mine and I could see absolutley NO DIFFERENCE whatsoever.
So don't waste your money on this rubbish. |

much better than Component and not far from HDMI
(January 22, 2008) |

After seeing a 360 Elite via HDMI and a normal 360 via Component both on the same 32" LCD TV, the difference was a lot more than i thought! Component gave slightly jagged edges to most objects and some colours just looked slightly off-hue, compared to HDMI which looked smoother and produced more normal colours.
Annoyed that i'd bought a normal 360 before the Elite was released, I couldn't see the point in paying around £300 for a better picture, so for the sake of £18 (ish) VGA was worth a try..
This cable is definitely worthwhile for the improvement it gives over Component - once the right resolution has been chosen for the TV/monitor it's on (with a 32" LCD @ 16:9 widescreen, 1360x768 seemed to look right), it's very close to HDMI quality in both visual sharpness and colour realism. |

Want HD but don't have plasma, but do have a PC?

Then buy this baby! I've set the Xbox 360 up next to the monitor, the cable is easy to switch around, and it enables you to see it all in its HD glory! Plus since its next to the PC you can connect it via an Ethernet cable and go on Xbox live! Or if the PC is wireless you can setup an ICS Bridge! Brilliant! |
