well i ordered a x2vga+ last month and i must say im clearly dissapointed with the results.the pictture is worst than my tv with composite connection.
i mean ive seen hi def before but this is not it.say so example halo on x2vga looks horrible.
the jaggies are all over the place .the pistol looks like a pile of crap.other games are the same.
ive tried it on 2 monitors aoc 19 klr HERE and benq v551HERE
both are brand new ,but can monitors be the issue?

Hi.

I've been doing some search on this topic, and I can't find a pattern.

To some guys, this item it's the best, to others it's junk. But I'm confused as to on what that depends.

I have found a lot more people recommend the VD-Z3.

I'll let you know if I find something.

When I first got mine I too was dissappointed wiht its performance. However, I had it set wrong, after correcting the dip switch setting to support H&V, it was bloody brilliant. I must also point out that mine was faulty when I got it. The cable in the AVIP had a break in it which meant it didn't force Y,YPb,YPr from the XBOX, fixing this cured the issue.

When you have the X2VGA plugged in look at the information in the settings for UX or Avalaunch and make sure it says it's running Hi Def. If not you may have a faulty wire too.

My (original) x2vga is brilliant.
I've never seen true HiDefinition for Xbox but this is much, much better than a normal tv. Makes most games look amazing. Can't remember trying Halo though, I didn't even know it supported it? Try another, newer game.

One question though... now that you are playing your games on your monitor, are you actually still sitting/lying back as far as you usually would when playing on a tv? Or sitting up close to the monitor like when using your PC?
Of course jaggies and resolution lines are much more visible when you're up that close.

I suspect something may be wrong with your X2VGA (have you checked all the dip switch settings?), or you have an unusually discriminating opinion for video game images.

I would agree that "jaggies" are more prevalent in some games, like halo, because the image is so sharp that the anti-aliasing tricks that rely on pixels bleeding into each other don't work.

However, in my opinion, the slight amount of "jagginess" present is more than compensated by the great clarity and edge definition in the whole image. It really helps with sniping, as you can much more easily discern long range objects.

Playing Mame Roms on my xbox via the x2vga is great too. Those old arcade games look really sharp and colorful.

All the people at Halo LAN gatherings who have seen Halo on my x2vga/LCD screen say "wow, that looks so sharp, I gotta get that setup". No one has told me it looks worse than composite.

I believer I have the same issues with my x2vga as Organic Pepsi here. I've tried both crt and lcd monitors and the result is always the same. The display seems worse on the monitors compared to the television even at the same distance.

The display I'm getting is playable but I'm still looking for the amazing quality that lots of people seem to be getting.

I read somewhere that plugging a digital audio cable into the x2vga helped get rid of the blurryiness. Can anyone verify this? Would I be able to just plug in the cable without having the 5.1 surround sound speakers on the other end?

Should I contanct Seonya and try to get a replacement or refund?

Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Drew
