Title: Vga Cables
Post by: Joshua Wood on January 15, 2006, 03:38:00 PM
I dont know the answer, but those adaptors are easy to find and pretty cheap to buy, from any electronics/computer type shop. So if it doesn't come with one it's easy enough to fix.

The VGA cables are super rare in the UK. I tried everywhare in Edinburgh to no avail so I resorted to online. Ordered from a reputable Hong Kong video games importer LikSang  and got myself  an official Japanese one for 30 inc.

Hi I'm in th UK and had the same problems, so I just made one. It took me about 2 hours, But it works perfectly on my tft monitor.

the materials cost me about £5.50 from maplins. The xbox 360 av connector is a pig to dismantal, but it responds quite well to brute force.

If anyones interested:

after taking delivery of this cable bout a week ago i can say it is slightly beta shielded than the ms one! and comes with the optical cable. bit of a pain it didnt cme with the coupler tho, but once i obtained it the picture it produces is amazing.im not having any problems with the picture having washed out whites, it seems superb to me!

now i jus gta get rid of tht annoying flicker on the bottom of the monitor  blink.gif
