Just bought the XBOx360 from DjiNn, at the same time also purchased Viewsonic widescreen 19" LCD VA1912W the other computer shop. Since the VGA cable was out of stock according to DjiNn, I have to use my compoent-to-VGA transcoder VD-Z3 to connect my XBOX 360 to my new LCD. THe resoluation was set at 720p.

The result is totally unsatisfactory, the color was dull and the graphic was not sharp at all. Then I decided to use the same configuration but connect my xbox360 to 17" CRT monitor and the result was excellent, just like the display quality direct from PC source.
TO confirm my LCD display quality, I plugged my LCD to PC and playing PC games, I also get the excellent result.

From above experiment, I guess the culprit should be VD-Z3 as it is not optimized for LCD display purpose. I plan on buying VGA cable and hope that I will get the PC equivalent display quality. Is it possible?

I also found the feedback from the net about the inferior 3rd party VGA cable will produce foggy effect graphic quality, anybody experience that?

It works EXCELLENT for both XBOX and XBOX 360 on CRT monitor but not LCD.

Have you tried that?
Just want to double confirm to make sure the right investment

Thanks for the advise. I am playing on my CRT monitor through Vdigi VD-Z3. Too bad that VGA cable is out of stock. I might want to direct order from Play Asia, until then I will start to play it on my VA1912W.
The ghosting was due to slow response time on monitor, or VGA cable quality?
Btw, what resolution do you set for VGA output?

what a waste, got big LCD screen but can't enjoy it now.
