it is in section 14 near UM.....i think...have been there once......not so much shop available.....not as much as lowyat plaza......though....it still nice place to go....not as crowded as lowyat plaza...

Won't cause any damage. For me I bought a 3rd party cable but then the image quality was pretty bad, so I bought an ori MS cable and the image quality improved a lot. If your 3rd party one you are satisfied with the image quality then stick with it la.

get ori VGA cable...

where got sell the ori vga cable for xbox360 in reasonable price? coz i go klcc there saw is rm200+...

gamers hideout...around rm140.00

or try buy at PA... playasia.com...

Hey coconut head,

PM me if your interested. I've got one Spare VGA cable (ori one)

Thanks

i dont know about the ori vga cable.. since i only using non ori one... but i connect it to my old model 21" monitor.. and ya i satisfy ready... may be if using the new lcd then need to use the ori one..... dont know since i cant compare.. heehe

i'm using none ori one...
with my 19" LCDwide...
ok la...

what kindda LCD u use man ?

From what i've heard there are cases of ghosting in third party VGA cable... that is what my friend told me .. then he switch to Ori .. no problem ... i'm guessing it's luck ..hahaha

i just want ask..
can I use my monitor's vga cable?
the 1 with vga to vga..
can ar?
hdmi to vga only right?

Nope you cant

Xbox 360 uses a proprietary port for its output so you'll need to adhere their standards. Your best bet would be the ori xbox vga cable.

Only newer Pro sets and elites have hdmi port. Even then, you will either need a hdmi input lcd monitor or a hdmi cable with a hdmi to vga converter.

Alternatively, you can use a tv card/tv box(usb/pcmcia/etc). Some are up to 1080i now.

Cheers bro, hope that helps

hey thanks

but I got the vga-vga cable only..so I just buy the hdmi to vga adapter or converter or whatsoever shouldn't be a problem right?

Just get the original Microsoft VGA cable and you're done

but isn't the converter cheaper? lol

you try to find a hdmi to vga convertor for cheap first, then u tell me
and tell me also whether the quality good or not

btw, vga cable 3rd party but lousy quality also cheap

3rd party ok leh. I'm using 3rd party 1 so far.

Isn't there a HDMI to DVI-D cable? I only know there is for PS3

HDMI to DVI is easily available
example:

they are cheap cause HDMI and DVI are digital signals and do no require any conversion

anyway, if u have a vga only monitor, best bet is still the microsoft's vga cable. 2nd hand can fetch u around RM80, and the quality is very good. it can even go hi def resolutions

hi def HDMI and hi def vga or component doesnt differ much in quality, just maybe in the signal conversion because LCD TVs are digital components, and there might be signal lost from conversion from analogue (vga/component)

hi mine is xbox arcade version. Is there any converter to let me use dvi port instead of vga port? cause i dy use my vga port for my laptop... thanks

Hi, im using Samsung 32inch The spec here http://www.samsung.com/my/products/televis...=Specifications

My question is
1 Im planning to buy high end cable like Audioquest or Monster , the one i should buy is HDMI-HDMI right ? Because i see too many like HDMI-VGA , HDMI- DVI . Makes me confuse ..
2 Some people say just buy cheap one than expensive coz the quality is same. Is it true ?
3 As u can see from the spec i have 2 slot for HDMI , so can i use 1 slot for xbox and 1 more slot for DVD player ?
4 Which one better S-Video , HDMI or Composite ?

Sorry if asking noob question here. Thanks in advance

1. That depends on your console's output and tv's input. If your console got hdmi and tv also got hdmi, then go for it.

2. For normal HDMI cable, that is true. However, if you go as far as monster cable, then probably not. I dont see any point of monster cable when you have hdmi, let alone monster cable's hdmi. That's overkill dy

3.Yes

4. HDMI and DVI are the better ones because they do not require analouge to digital conversion.

Pssst... these are available in google.

He meant that the VGA port on his monitor is already used to connect his laptop. He only has a DVI port free
