monster cables are phenomenal, and offer great shielding.
but..all that shielding is moot when it\'s a digital signal and only going 3 meters.

save your money and go to monoprice.com
you\'ll never notice a difference

like the above mm and NVIDIA had said, Monster cables charge Monster Prices for their cables. Their quality might be good, but most of their cable products are overprice. You can get similiar performance on much cheaper cables.

that site is awesome. Thanks

So you still recommend getting a new cable over VGA?

The plusses im hearing about VGA is it can play dvd\'s at 720p without upconverting, but i also hear that colors can look washed on VGA. I can always try it first but i have to connect it backt o my pc monitor, change the settings and THEN put it back on the hdtv, since right now it never shows up on the hdtv with the settings at 720p and not 1300xwhatever

let me get this straight.

you have component video cable that comes with the 360 premium, and you also have VGA cable for the 360.

I am not really sure what you mean when you say you want to buy a new cable...since you already own both best possible connection cables.

i don\'t know if you can upconvert dvd to 720p via VGA, but why would you want to do that btw? Since dvd is 480i/p, upconverting it won\'t make it 720p. your hdtv can upconvert too if you know what i mean.

And I am lost at your last sentence...

Got a brand new Sony KDL-40XBR2 for $1550 (Retails for $3000)

anywho, picture is great, it has 1080p but I haven\'t used it yet... still waiting for a reason to buy a PS3...

i was just talking and not really thinking.

Mainly, I have the cable that comes with the premium 360 and a VGA cable because i had to use it to play the 360 on my pc monitor. But i hear that monster type cables (one on monoprice) are a lot better than the ones that come with the 360; then i hear about 50/50 on who like VGA or monster more.

Im just going to give VGA a whirl whenever i get the time. Been busy with school and work the last few days

okay. Wow, if you can see a difference between monster cable and the cable that you already own, then god bless you. Because I doubt I can.

Or even if you could see a tiny difference, I doubt it would be worth the price.
