With this not being a shielded cable, it produce ghosting. I'v bought an official VGA cable which has cured this problem.

Shame as this is really good value otherwise :-(

For me this cable Enhanced everything I saw on my screen im so glad I purchased this. Makes my picture a lot clearer. Might depend on the TV you have, I must have been lucky.

I have this cable and the quality is stunning, much better then component. My PC monitor has both inputs but this cable tops the official supplied component cable by a long shot.

Also added bonus, this cable actually comes with the optical audio lead needed to hook up to your digital audio decoder giving me true 5.1 sound. Also stunning.

I just can't fault this cable, I have tried the official cable on my monitor and it is exactly the same.

There is no difference in quality and this one is cheaper, granted though the official does come with the audio adapter for plugging into a stereo input. Which may be what you need.

I purchased this cable in the hope that I would get the same quality of picture through my Samsung LCD TV as the component HD or better but sadly the picture quality was nowhere near as good.

Maybe I just didn't set it up right but after several failed attempts to improve the picture by mucking about with settings I gave up and returned to the HD component which offers an outstanding picture.

Do not buy this cable, it is vastly inferior to the official VGA cable. The main reason is that, unlike the official cable, this third party rubbish is unshielded. In otherwords, it is prone to interference from devices all around including lights, other games consoles, the TV, the XBox 360 itself, stereo systems, speakers and any number of other things. I'm sure a few people using VGA with this cable have noticed 1 1/2 second blackouts whilst playing, well that's because it's not shielded.

The best bet is to just stick with the official cable, you don't get the same problems as it is shielded and is worth the extra money to avoid hassle in the future.

on the packaging and in the manual an extra 3.5mm jack lead is mentioned for connecting to external speakers (although not mentioned on the play website, to be fair). this is missing from the actual cable (the phono plugs and optical audio are the only ones present) and can only be verified by opening the box since the cable is cunningly hidden between cardboard. the packaging, of course, is one of those you need to destroy to open it, so that returning the item is not possible

video cable is ok, the digital audio cable is useless in most cases

A very good cable, comes with all standard connectors, the previous review about the audio connector is a bit misguided, the phono connectors are standard audio connections, both my lcd tvs accept these as does my monitor not the green speaker type connector found on pc's or cheaper monitors . The digital audio cable is the one I use for my 5.1 surround, the same connector I use on my xbox, dvd player etc. Not much difference in picture quality compared to the component cable, but My games tv only has one component in and I use this for my Wii, this cable lets me use the vga port so I don't have to pull out the other cable when I want to play my 360.

I used this to hook up my XBOX 360 to my monitor, was easy to set up and it gave me a higher resolution compared to what i was using before. However i never got any sound because my monitor doesn't have the ports for the 2 phono plugs (I don't think any monitors do) - solved this by connecting it to my hifi. I didn't use the optical lead which is meant to give high quality sound but it can only really be put into a compatible television. Overall 5/5 as it is much cheaper than the official XBOX VGA cable and does the same thing

I have a HD TV that will not give me 720p or 1080p so thought i would try this just to see what the difference is. I found the picture slightly better at a higher res but could not get sound to my TV with what was suplied? It comes with 2 phono plugs(for left and right speakers) but many HD TV's although they will have many of these they are all specific for each source. ie the phone sockets that provide the sound for the AV and the ypbpr can't be used to provide sound for the VGA input. The VGA sound in put is via a 3.5mm audio plug (mormal green coulred output from PC) so why this wasn't included with the vga lead istead of the strange digital cable that i've never seen used anywhere, i don't know. Had to buy a 2 phono - 3.5mm audio adaptor to recieve sound. Alot of hassle and not really that much difference for a TV.
