 Great Video Quality, broke easily February 25, 2008

If your like me and you have a crappy SDTV, I know you want to play your xbox 360 on a better looking screen. I originally bought this for my monitor because I have a pretty good monitor with high resolution.
Let me tell you: this was a giant improvement from my SDTV (until the cable broke). I could actually play games in practically HD on my 20 inch flat screen dell. Games like Dead Rising were crisp, sharp and beautiful (I could actually read the words in the game better on my monitor then my friends 60'' inch hdtv). I really loved this cable.....
Unfortunately the cable broke when I only used it for 2 days = (
---It was mostly my fault, but I am surprised at how easily it broke considering it cost about $40.00, isn't this "Next Gen" technology expose to make stronger more reliable products too?
It all started because I only have one VGA port on my computer monitor. Well in order to switch between xbox 360 and my computer I had to keep moving my monitor around and jam the cable in(it was a really frustrating task). Well since I did it so much, I started getting trouble when trying to plug in the VGA cable. I would have to push and shove it to get it in (with a considerable amount of force).
Well in time the gold rods in the video part of the cable became twisted and could not go into my monitor. thus ending the cable's life
LONG STORY SHORT:
I had trouble switching between my computer and my xbox 360. The xbox 360 VGA Cable broke because of that, the gold rods in the video part of the cable broke off and got out of place....
WHAT AM I DOING TO FIX IT?
I am trying to get a replacement one as i type....(all though it wouldn't matter because I just have the ring of death right now rendering any cable useless)
also can any show me a VGA switchbox that won't degrade video quality?
p.s.
overall great cable, but be gentle and handle with care
 Great for small-scale gaming February 24, 2008

I'm a college student, and I used this cable to hook up my XBox360 to my flatscreen LCD monitor. The VGA output is a huge step up from regular component cables. Lines are crisper and some smaller text is more readable. Playing games like Burnout Revenge where you need to identify small things move real fast and can kill you, the VGA output is a godsend, keeping the image crisp and clean.
I've seen some negative reviews about the HD output of the VGA cable, but I wouldn't know. It works like a charm for my little setup.
Looks great, go only with XBOX 360 Cable February 23, 2008

I used Microsoft's VGA cable with the XBOX 360, and it looks great on my LG 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor.
Be sure to use the Resolution section of the XBOX 360 Console viewer to maximize what resolution is available for your monitor. Its under system properties of the XBOX 360. Be sure to try all the resolutions, to see which one looks and feels the best. Be aware that I have to use two different resolutions. A higher one for the XBOX 360 Games, and a lower one for the standard DVD player.
Personally,
I found that my monitor can handle all the modes, however, the 420p looks perfect. The following is a link to the Monitor I have. I have a 22" Wide LCD Black Monitor.
Here is a summary of its specs:
LG LCD Model : L226WTQ-BF
22" CLASS WIDESCREN LCD MONITOR (22.0" diagonal)
WIDESCREN FORMAT
1680 x 1050 resolution
Wide at 16:10 aspect ratio
2MS ULTRA-FAST RESPONSE TIME
The only thing I have to do is downgrade the resolution by one step to view DVDs without distortion. The resolution right below 420p using the XBOX 360 Browser.
The best part is that ALL my XBOX 360 games handle the 420p resolution with awesome clarity. And when I say Awesome, I mean it. They look as good, (if not better) then almost any of my friends XBOX 360 Games using their HD TV hooked in by Microsoft's HDMI Component Cable hookup.
I have talked to friends who have used similar solutions for their LCD Monitors to play XBOX 360 games, and the truth is, Microsoft's cable is a great guaranteed way to go.
Like most reviewers, I too hope that Microsoft will put out a DVI version for its XBOX 360. However, for now, there are inexpensive couplers that can convert HDMI output (from the XBOX 360 HDMI Cable) to DVI input. Unfortunately, My XBOX 360 does not support HDMI, so I went for the VGA cable, and I am floooooooooored by the results :0)

Amazing Difference February 12, 2008
I was completely impressed with the difference that this cable made. The image quality was really sharp and it looks much more vivid. The other advantage is that I can now use my wide screen computer monitor to play games when others want to watch TV.
 Xbox 360 Vga Cable February 8, 2008
Cable works great but the audio and video componants could have been extended from each other a little more. If your video source is far away from your audio source you may need to make some adjustments like i did.
