[XBOX360] VGA Cable


Recommended Posts

I am thinking of getting a VGA cable for my 360 so that I can connect it, high-def style, to my 19" standard aspect ratio monitor @ 1280 x 1024.

First question, will this work, or do you need widescreen for HD to not look distorted?

Second question, is there any reason to buy the offical Microsoft cable over the third-party one?

1. yes it will work, it supports both WS and FS resolutions.

2. No, but I prefer the official one myself, as it comes with a few bonuses.

3. Want more answers? Find the Microsoft Forum, post in there, because this is the wrong section of the forum, and this question has been answered countless times. :)

i have a joytech vga and i prefer using the HD cables that came with my Premium, the colours look a bit faded, but once i got surround sound ill go back to the joytech as it has optical connections and also i can use the VGA when i go to granparents as i can take my brothers 15" LCD monitor to play on.

Get the official VGA-HD cable. You may have to set the viewing mode to widescreen because of stretching. I did the same thing with my 17" monitor (4:3).

1) Works like a charm. I have a 19" standard aspect monitor and it's just fine. Looks gorgeous.

2) I've never had much luck with 3rd party stuff. I always go first party, even though it costs more. You get what you pay for.

Could not agree more with you on that one.

Id always go first party for perhipherals, i bought a generic VGA cable and it was a bag of crap, got massive amounts of interference because it was cheap and unshielded.

Bought a Microsoft one and its perfect.
