High res enough with DVD upscaling

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2011

Verified Purchase

I bought this cable for my Sony Bravia KDL 32BX300, since I have one of the oldest consoles without a HDMI port. I'm very happy with it - everything coming out of the Xbox looks awesome. Using this cable means you have to adjust your display settings from the XBox Dashboard, and the highest resolution you can get is 1360x760 which slightly better than 720p, and Microsoft says that the VGA cable can do better, but trust me on this. All in all it's very close to the native resolution of my tv (and most mid-line LCDs for that matter).

At 32", you can't really tell the difference between 720p and 1080i or 1080p anyway. If you have a REALLY BIG screen, and you care about this sort of thing, sure, VGA may not be the best, but that doesn't mean it isn't still really nice. It beats the hell out of the basic composite video, and while component video may have more versatility (you could use it with a regular TV as well), they don't upscale DVDs to the highest res - they'll still play in 480p as if you were just running yellow/red/white cables. Obviously it's not a perfect solution, but it sure is close.

Note: some people talk about "washed out colors" and stuff like that - as far as I can tell, it depends on the TV you have, and whether or not your cable is a cheap 3rd party knockoff or not. With my setup, everything looks really nice.

A few problems, but a big improvement overall

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 19, 2007

I have never really been able to convince myself to get a HDTV, mainly for the reason that I don't watch TV more than a few hours a week. Most of my free time that I spend with electronics is with my computer, so I bought a 24 inch monitor that displayed 1920x1200 instead. I love playing PC games, but there are a few choice 360 games that I had to play, specifically Mass Effect. Now, 1080p is 1920x1080, so my monitor should display full 1080p without a problem. But my 360 (newest updates and all) only displays 1366x768 properly , (720p pretty much) and distorts when going to 1920x1080. No matter what I do this is the case... I've tried other 360s and same problem. But that isn't keeping me from enjoying the greatly improved resolution from the old 480p on my TV.

Mass Effect looks incredible, as does Gears of War. Dead Rising looks pretty good, and Halo 3 is not bad either.

Overall, I would recommend this accessory to anyone who has a nice monitor but not so new TV.

If you use your 360 as a DVD player, this is a must!

As soon as I hooked the cable up I noticed the visual upgrade immediately. The XBox 360 dashboard seemed crisper and clearer and the text looked less blurry (this was something I could see with my own eyes, it didn't take looking at some 200% zoom side-by-side comparison photos on some gaming message board to see the difference). The first thing I did to test out the true abilities of this cable was to pop in a slightly-compressed anime DVD that I own. The DVD that showed some obvious artifacts over the previous component cable were nowhere to be found with the VGA cable. The image quality was very smooth. Even the 10th Anniversary edition of Reservoir Dogs (not even the latest version/film transfer) looked noticeably better and could almost be comparable to some hi-def content.

The reason for the obvious visual upgrade on the DVD is because of the XBox 360's hidden DVD upconversion that can only be unlocked through the VGA cable (a true gem of a feature!). As far as games go, they already looked amazing with the component cable, but I did notice that they looked a little more defined and brighter. The games did NOT looked washed out like some reviews suggest. I believe that the washed out picture may have been a problem in the past, but Microsoft has since released a fix to the problem over XBox live (if your system is hooked up to the internet, you will get the upgrade for free...no need for a gold account). Most users probably never had the problem at all.

The VGA cable still includes a digital audio output, much like the original component cable did, and a headphone-sized adapter plug for the audio cables if your television set only has the single input. Just for the information, VGA is also known as D-Sub, so if your television has a D-Sub video/audio input (like mine did), it will work with this cable. Setup was fairly simple, but not exactly as simple as "plug-and-play". You'll need to know your TVs screen resolution (example: my 27" HDTV was 1366 x 768); a simple google search answered this for me. I also needed to manually change the ratio to Widescreen. Both of these setting are changed through the XBox 360's own display settings (not your television).

Obviously, if you have the XBox 360 Elite (black version), you should be using the HDMI cable for the best quality, but for the rest of us with the Premium and Core systems (white versions), the VGA is mandatory to reach the best picture quality on a HDTV. I paid about half the price that this cable retails (bought it off a user on the Amazon marketplace), but after my experience with this cable I would have gladly paid full price for a new cable!

All the Hookup you need...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2010

I recently moved back to the States from Canada and found myself without much in the way of home electronics. I had a laptop and an Xbox360, and a Bose sound dock, and that was about it. So I went TV shopping.

What I found was a nice, 23" HP monitor for $100 less than the 21" LCD TV's. It had HDMI and VGA inputs. I bit the bullet and purchased the monitor. I'm glad I did. My laptop is a newer HP and supports HDMI out, so for television, I hook up the HDMI and browse to Hulu.

My Xbox 360 is an older version, though, and does not have HDMI out, so I had to pick up this cable. The one thing I disliked was the price tag, but, as the old saying goes: you get what you pay for. Xbox360 aside, Microsoft is well known for building quality hardware, and this cable is no exception. It's sturdy! It did take a bit of work to get the monitor's resolution to take, but I figured this was an issue somewhere between the 360 and my monitor, not necessarily a problem with the cable.

What's nice about the cable is that it provides the same optical out that the standard component cable has. Also, it includes an RCA to digital adapter, so was able to get stereo sound to the AUX port of my Sound dock, out of the box (though my sound dock sits on a different shelf so I had to get a few extra parts to bridge the gap).

Image quality is going to depend on the monitor you're connecting to. Mine looks good. The only complaint I have is my monitor's blacks are too bright (they come out kinda grey), but this is the tradeoff, I suppose. I played for several years on a 32" LCD tv and at the end of the day, I'm happy playing Xbox on my $200 23" monitor.
