| Great for non-HDMI xbox owners, or PC monitor owners. | |

Like many people have commented, if you use a HD LCD TV with HDMI support, and have a 360 with the HDMI output, you don't need this.
I got a Samsung LN46A650 HD LCD tv on boxing day and had the composite cables with my 360 (non-HDMI capable). The picture was awesome for games, but I also have the HD DVD player and wanted 1080p as well as DVD upscaling (which composite won't do), so I got this cable from Future Shop.
The cable's box is misleading though, as it says it only supports up to 720p, which is not true anymore. This will give you non-HDMI people 1080p and also upconvert your DVD's.
There are no ghosting issues or colour washouts anymore as Microsoft has added some resolution settings to the Xbox to correct this.

| For anyone with a LCD Monitor | |

I highly recommend this for anyone using a LCD Monitor as a screen. This is mainly intended for those seeking fast screen response times from their monitor, as the image undergoes little post-cable processing with the VGA hookup and if you set the resolution to the native display of your monitor, the picture will look great. If you're only interested in picture quality, and don't even know what screen lag is, then use HDMI or Component.

The cable is very nice. I'm able to play my 360 on the old VGA monitor I had in storage perfectly.
I'm very happy with the shipping. It arrived about a week after my order.
Price wasn't that bad, either.

| 21" LCD vs. 52" DLP vs. 42" LCD TV | |

I was so anxious to see the picture quality compared to my Samsung 52" 1080p DLP and Sony 42" LCD TV using HDMI connections. It took me a minute to install this cable and I must say the picture quality on the 21" LCD is no match for the Samsung and Sony. Picture quality on the Sony looked the best. Even though games don't look as good on the monitor, I will be leaving the xbox connected to it because it's more convenient for me. Maybe I'll get a PS3 to take advantage of the TV.

Xbox looks so much better on my HP 22" monitor with this cable than it did with component hookup to my Samsung DLP. Well worth the $15 IMO.
