Summary: Looks Awesome
Comment: The VGA cable is nice for people who dont own a tv (or a good one) and own a computer. Halo 3 and GTA 4 look awesome on my Optiquest moniter. The sound is hooked to the line in on my soundcard in the computer which gives clear digital audio that will give you the feeling that you are actually in the game you are playing. I believe this product is the best of its kind especially since it was made by microsoft.

Summary: Awesome Cables
Comment: These cables are so much better than the composite cables when it comes to LCD T.V's and LCD Monitors..i hooked it up to my friends 20' Magnavox LCD and my I-Inc 19' LCD monitor..it looks slightly better than the composite cables and reduces screen lag by a huge load..my 19 inch monitor has an 8ms response time which you can notice when playing games especially FPS games(Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, etc...)with the VGA Cables i notice no delay..i definitely recommend these to anyone who own and LCD T.V. or a computer monitor

Summary: Great product for the application
Comment: I received this cable today and immediately hooked it up.

First just to test it I hooked it straight to my 22" Sceptre monitor. It worked great.

I wanted to be able to switch back and forth to my XBox and my PC so I figured I would try it with an IOGear KVM switch I had laying around. Sure enough it worked.

The audio hook ups are convenient. I was able to also hook the audio to the KVM switch so I can use my PC's surround speakers for the XBox.

Over all it's a great product. It did just what I wanted with no complications or headaches. I know I will stick to genuine Microsoft products for all my XBox accessories.

Summary: Great option - buy Microsoft, not generic
Comment: This is an excellent product, works very well with my Samsung 226BW 22" LCD monitor.

Do not buy a generic cable from another manufacturer. The generic cables are cheaper partly because the cables they use are cheaper. This can lead to an effect sometimes called "ghosting" where "ghosts" of images appear next to the true image. I had a generic cable and could see very easily on the text that there were three or four shadows of the text. The Microsoft VGA cable cleared the ghosts up entirely, leaving me with a wonderfully clear image.

The quality from the cable is great. However, until Microsoft releases an update that has resolutions like 1680x1050 (typical 22" widescreen monitor resolution), you will have to deal with either slight stretching of the image or a few pixels being cut off. Or, if your monitor has 1-to-1 pixel mapping, you will have small black bars on the edges of the screen. To me, the stretching is barely noticeable (I also don't have an HDTV with which to compare). You can change the resolutions so that it's very close; but it is an important point to consider.

PROS: Use with monitor; high quality; analog and digital audio
CONS: No resolutions that support 16:10 monitors; stretching or pixel loss if your monitor does not support 1-to-1 pixel mapping

Microsoft has done gamers with limited space and budgets a great favor. The cable and image are top-notch; the only reason I take away one star is because of the lack of perfectly compatible resolutions
