Have you tested it on a diffrent monitor?

Some people had problem with the X2VGA and the new video encoder.
But they sended it back and they fixed it for free.

If you got a xbox version v1.4-v1.5 you need to send your X2VGA back, because the X2VGA should work on almost all monitors.

As said they will fix it for free. And the onec who had problems had a purple picture too.

If you know you don't  got an xbox with the new encoder (focus) you can stil send them an email and tell them that you tested it on 7 monitors.

did you ever consider that those monitors may not be compatible with the x2vga? Your monitor needs to be sync on green compatible (i think it needs to support resolutions of 1600x1200 or more) so if it isn't, then the picture will be messed up when you use it.

Age doesn't have too much to do with it.

QUOTE (X2VGA)
Among our tests, even a cheap 15 inch CRT monitor bought five years ago can work well.


These monitors may be "very good", but that doesn't mean they're compatible...

Sync on green has nothing to do with the x2vga transcoder.  Sync on green has only to do with a monitor in conjunction with the vga bios and a modded cable.  Having a SOG monitor voids the need to add a sync seperator when using the vga bios.

Also, there is no xvga1, or x1vga.  It has always been x2vga; they just made it more compatible with the newer versions of the xbox with the focus chip.

The x2vga is very compatible with most any monitor.  Most likely your problem is that you don't have the right dip switch setting for the monitor your using.  The x2vga comes in default H&V sync dip setting.  If that doesn't work, try the other setting, composite: First down, two and three up, and the forth down.

Ok, you have the digital-x transcoder; the german made vga adapter.  They were one of the first to make a true vga adapter for the xbox.  I remember when they first came out.  The digital-x adapter only supports 480p.  While the compatability isn't high, and there is some too dark issues with the adapter, it is a good transcoder.  My advice is to upgrade to an x2vga.  It gives a much better, brighter, vibrant picture, and much more compatible with a wide variety of monitors than the digital-x transcoder.

the digital-x support all the modes (480p,720p and 1080i) but you get darken screens at higher res. The best Real vgabox are from www.x2vga.com and support every hdtv resolution and got several connectors Rca and toslink
