Hi:

I got VGA cables for my console but it's giving me god awful ghosting, what can I do to fix it?

Note: They are generic and it only seems to cause ghosting when an HD resolution is selected.

>VGA cables >HD selected hmmm... why would a non-digital to digital have HD compatibility with at least no problems/quality loss ever happen?

Generic VGA is trash for the 360. Just bite the bullet and get the Microsoft ones for.......yes $40. Don't whine. I now play FFXIII at 1920x1080 on my Dell monitah' ! :D

I have a Madcatz one and it works flawlessly. I mean it is not new tech and not expensive to make a decent cable set. You wouldn't spend $40 to get one for your computer would you?

I won't spend more cash to get a new cable so I'll see if I can get a refund.

Just curious, where did you buy your cable from? Btw, the ghosting could just be a response time issue with your monitor.

Mercado Libre, it's Mexico's eBay. And well, my response time is 6ms, is that good?

What brand? 6 ms is fine IF it is from a good brand.

It's 5ms actually, typos FTL. It's a 17" HP LCD monitor.

I bought the offical Microsoft VGA cables for like 15 bucks and they work great on my HDTV and Monitor, but then again my HD displays Guitar Hero with zero lag, so maybe its just my TV?

I use my 360 with VGA, and find that I often have to switch one of the video settings (forget which one, sorry) to Expanded. (there are 3 levels total.)
