Fun:
When I was deciding on which VGA cable to get to run an Xbox 360 console through a PC monitor, I looked at dozens of different ones from many different manufacturers. This was by far the best cable out there, and when you can buy it for £5, as opposed to the £20+ that Microsoft are charging for the EXACTLY the same "official" cable, it's an absolute bargain.
The cable gives you a high definition picture on a plasma television or PC monitor (both old and new monitors). It has gold connections - meaning it has a much criper transfer, and the screen quality is absolutely superb. I've seen the 360 run on a full HD, 40" telvision, through HDMI, and there is absolutely no difference in quality. If anything, this cable on the monitor looked better because it had smoother edges. The colour depth is what you would expect from a high-definition transfer, and it also comes with two audio sockets so that you can plug your computer speakers in.
It all works really well, and it's by far the easiest thing I've ever had to set up in my life. I plugged it into my monitor, into the Xbox 360, and turned on the console. It came up instantaneously with the screen setting up on the screen. All you have to do then is put in your monitor's resolution from the drop down menu that pops up on screen. Bare in mind the HD setting you can set your 360 at through a monitor depends on your resolution. Monitor's that run at 1280 x 1024, 1440 x 900, 1360 x 768, etc, your average monitor basically, will run at 720p definition. Any resolution above 1600 x 1200 will run at 1080p. To be honest, the difference between the two is minimal unless your running it on a HD television so it's no problem at all.
Just two things to bare in mind. One, if your monitor is not a widescreen monitor you may get the 'stretch' effect. The screen won't fit onto your screen meaning it will be all squashed together and look horrible. And the other problem i came across was that when running the cable on 1280 x 1024 resolution there was a shimmering effect on the screen with ghosting coming from the writing. This was easily rid by changing the resolution to the next setting (in this case 1360 x 768). This does NOT affect your picture quality at all, the two settings are basically the same.
Hope this was of help.

Fun:
With this type of product, either it works flawlessly or it doesn't work at all. There should be no 'middle ground' where video input/output is concerned, since you'll want the best your monitor can deliver.
This thing has appalling shielding resulting in severe ghosting on all settings. Tested on a 19", 27" and even a crappy 17" in the garage, and no matter how much I messed around with the settings/resolution, the picture improved but never stopped ghosting.
I bought the official M$ one a few days later, and guess what, no problems. If only a little more care had been put into this cable it would have saved me a bit of cash. But hey, you buy cheap, you buy twice. Shame, but if you're looking for the quality you expect from your 360 _do not_ waste your money - you'll only end up wishing you'd got the official cable.

Fun:
Before now ive used a different 360 - VGA cable and it was perfect, unfortunately i have since lost that cable. So i decided to buy this one, now i expected the same quality cable however the cable i got looks nothing like this one does in the picture and gives me terrible ghostings issues to the point where i find playing using this cable near impossible.
My advice would be to not buy this and just purchase the official cable.

Does what it says on the tin
Works fine. I get 1024x768 (768p) resolution on an older LCD TV. Hope to get an LED HD TV in the not too distant future though.

Poor quality cable, buy Gameware one instead
The cable itself looks sturdy enough on first inspection.
However, the first problem is that the little screw bits aren't long enough so you can't actually screw it into... Read more
