Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The reason that I ended up buying the VGA cable was due to the fact that the component signal (both 720p and 1080i) is subject to overscan.This means that the screen "zooms in" slighty so that you are sure to see a complete picture with no black or static edges.This is a problem though with the Xbox 360 because it ends up cropping the image.For example, the HUD in GRAW is cutoff on the corners when using the component cables.This really bothered me so I gave the VGA a try and viola!
I can now go into the dashboard settings and specify 1360 x 768 which closely matches my LCD's native resolution of 1368 x 768.Thus, I am able to see the whole screen without any overscan/cropping.The only downside is that the overall image gets "washed out" when using the VGA cable.However, this is not really a big deal because most of the newer games (GRAW, Oblivion) have an in-game setting for brightness which you can turn down to eliminate the washed out look.
I highly recommend that you at least give the VGA cables a try.Depending on your TV, you may or may not like them.No big deal though because you can just return them.However, you may find that you really like them and will be glad that you tried them out!Check out my VGA vs Component pictures at http://spaces.msn.com/theshepherdsbag/photos/ and read about my detailed testing on my blog at http://spaces.msn.com/theshepherdsbag/blog/ and you can check out this xbox forum thread for further insights at http://forums.xbox.com/2885313/ShowPost.aspx
Lastly, I have the Samsung LNR238W and there is NO ghosting issues when using the VGA cable.
