I haven't seen it in action, but OXM gave the Neoya X2VGA adapter some nice reviews.  you can see it in the September 2003 issue (came with disc #22)

OXM +/- are:
Pros-- Simple setup, Steller performance.  weird but cool interlace mode.
Cons-- Expensive.  No VGA cable supplied.
total rating: 9.0

I'd type up the whole review for ya, but I already posted this reply and can't go back to change it.

Got the x2vga and lovin' it  

[djstymie]

can you use it with a 5BNC adapter and pull RGBHV?

[TNTrulez]

I got an X2VGA and it works pretty well. I have a blurring problem with their free switch box but I really didn't expect much from that switch box anyways.

Guys...

I've ordered mine, should be here in a few weeks...

But I have a question for you, I understand that the MS Dashboard isnt compatible at 480p so you need the switch, but my question is, is the evo-x menu ok with it or is that still at the same resolution?

Cheers All....

Evox works sweet in either 480i or 480p, and all (bar one or two) homebrew apps work great with 480p. As for the M$ dash, you can hex edit it for 480p or even auto if you switch back to 480i often.
Search for 'hex edit' or 'progressive patch' in this forum.

Guys...

It arrived today.

I CANT BELEIVE THE QUALITY !!!!

Man!, I am sooo jealous of u US guys with HDTV's... damn the UK's PAL system...

Have spent most of the evening going through My catalogue of games.... what a difference this thing makes!

And it was so easy to set up!

BTW anyone reading from the UK, it took 9 days from the payment being taken, to it arriving on my doorstep.

So you have no excuses... go buy one!

Did you have to pay duty?

Also...

I'm confused by this statement on the order page. I assume you have a european xbox?

3. MS disables the high-definition video output on the PAL version Xbox(only sold in Europe, Australia, NZ, Hong Kong etc.), so it cannot work normally with the X2VGA. However, the Xbox consoles sold in North America, Japan, etc. which belong to the NTSC version, will work fine with X2VGA. Please take note of this in advance. We will not accept exchange or refund for this cause.

X2VGA is a quality product, but in my opinion, Ken Gasper's VGA adaptors are better.  The Easyview feature isn't THAT great of an asset to the adaptor, and I wouldn't make my decision on buying the adaptor because of the Easyview feature.  Both Ken's and the X2VGA support 480p, 720p and 1080i.  

[The Timmy]

you got a link to that where I can check it out at?  I've been wanting to get the x2vga, but the price is somewhat out of reach for me seeing as how I am a lazy bum who doesn't like to work and doesn't manage money well...

if you say there's better for possibly cheaper, I just might have to get off my ass and so something.

Now its sweet as hell

PAL has sucked, does suck, and will always suck. so you get a few more lines of resolution. Trying to watch anything at 50Hz will drive a person to murder!!

[shithappens]

the x2vga is the best. i just got mine and it works great. on don't go buy the universal ones.  they are peices of shit.  i tried it once.

[DoctorV]

Holy crap the x2vga does rule! I just got mine today and I just tried out a ton of my games. Last week I hooked my xbox up to my friends HDTV with the HDTV pack and the x2vga looks just as good. I recommend it to any one who wants a crystal clear picture but doesn't have 2 grand to blow on an HDTV. BTW I have a Samtron 17' flat screen crt monitor and my games have never looked better.

Hey DARRYL, good to see you (a fellow xboxhacker.net member).  Your opinions will be much welcomed in this new forum here.

Hello

My xbox is a modded UK PAL, which i then switched over to NTSC with the enigmah video switcher.

As for duty for coming into the UK, I thought that was only aplicable after certian figure such as £150?

But to put your mind at rest there wasnt any, nor did customs open up the box either.

Cheers!
