Well I cant speak from experience as I only have the MS VGA adaptor, but usually the quality of those after-market brands is slightly lower. Just my 2 cents

I had pelican component cable, and the optical port didn't work. Just fork over the money and get the MS cables.

joytech 22 shipped

i think those are pretty close to as good as MS ones.

i had both...sold the M$ one as the Joytech is better.

but keep in mind that only the M$ one comes with the gender changer and RCA converter.

Are those important? You don't really need the RCA converter unless you are using a regular TV, correct? I don't know what a gender changer so I can't say anything about that

yeah important for some (i didn't need them),

Gender changer looks something like this, one side male other is female. Most newer monitors, specially LCDs don't need them. If you monitor has VGA "in" then you don't.


RCA converter looks something like this. If your speaker only have a headphone slot then you'll need this.

i bought the MS cables from bestbuy while waiting for mine to be shipped from wally world, i however forgot to return the male/female adapter... didnt even think about it as it was connected to my monitor cable.

I have the M$ one and it works great. What I was surprised about was how easy it was to setup. All I did was plug everything in and then the screen came right up and I could tweak the settings right away. I haven't had any problems as of yet. Just fork over the $40 for the M$ cable.
