I bought a third-party VGA Cable and used it to connect my Xbox 360 to my LCD Monitor (Samsung 2233SW).

I set the resolution to the highest but there seems to be a problem. The picture seems blurry. I can see some ghosting. If I connect the monitor to my computer, the picture is perfect. It only happens to the Xbox 360.

What's wrong? The cable?

Well, there's your problem

U get a third party shit, u got shit back. That's karma, mate...

Ok thanks. They don't sell oriinal in Penang though... Hard to find. hanks anyway.

U can bought it at here ma.. so many online sellers. It gives u better quality. But if the blurry is becos of ur 360 is not running at native resolution, i think ori and 3rd party more or less the same. Only 3rd will degrade one.

so much diff between ori and 3rd party one
last me and my brotehr compare side byside

Didn't know there's so much difference.

Becos ori the cable and the connector use high quality one ma... 3rd party maybe normal cable summore the connector get oxidized..

There is. I made the same mistake as you. The original cable will solve your problems.

Or get a hdmi to dvi connector if your 'box has it.

Using an original VGA Cable and the picture looks better but there are still some blurry ghosting effect left behind...

Should I try HDMI to DVI?

^what resolution u set?

should be ok, i bought from best denki at Times Square and satisfied. But that applied with my laptop and ps3 coz i can't use it with my xbox. Need to buy original HDMI from M$ coz what i need is only audio cable...

I set 1920x1080.

em. not sure, it suppose to look great on full hd (1920x1080).

for 22 inch should be 1680 x 1050. The the optimum resolution. Mine using samsung 226BW can't use higher than that but look perfect.

hmmm... I get it from PA 2 years ago seem working very good no ghosting or blurry... maybe depends on 3rd brand as well..

The 2233SW is 21.5" to be exact and its native resolution is 1920x1080, not 1680x1050. Its aspect ratio is 16:9.

how about picture quality in dashboard?.

never knew that the 21.5" lcd's are already full HD ur's is a samsung huh?

me too...

i think the price is only around rm20 iinm. served me well for 1 year plus. with optical port too..

If your LCD supported it, the HDMI is also audio cable...

I think I've found a solution... just don't look at the monitor from a close range...
What's that?

yeah. don't compare xbox 360 with pc games. usually we play pc game in close range. however, playing xbox360 using lcd monitor, we need to adjust our viewing distance
