6' VGA HD Audio/Video Cable for Xbox 360 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been wanting to develop a multi-display system for the various Rock Band parties that I host. The idea is, instead of having the "performers" with their backs to the "audience" while they "perform" in front of a TV or an LCD Projector. The multi-display system will provide a single display for each "performer" (perhaps two for the drummer, positioned to the right and left of the drum kit) and perhaps even a couple of TVs or LCD Projectors facing the "audience".
So far I've got four 17" VGA 1024x768 LCD Displays with VESA mounts. My first step was to find a VGA video cable for my Xbox 360 that would provide an acceptable display, most importantly the lyrics in a four member multiplayer session. When the cable arrived, I realized I had not done my homework. I looked at many cables and didn't realize that only SOME have the optical audio output. This cable DOES NOT! However it does have stereo RCA outputs so, not a total loss. Rock Band does take slight advantage of surround sound with some of the accessory audio but of course the songs are only available in stereo.
Anyway, I hooked the cable up to my 360 and one of the VGA displays and powered up the console. The display was quite good. When I went into the Xbox display settings, it had defaulted to 800x600. I adjusted the resolution to 1024x768 and was still very happy with the display. I started a four member multiplayer session so I could check the readability of the lyrics for the vocalist and was very happy with the results.
Now it's time to order a four port VGA splitter/amp to see how it looks on four displays.
While doing my research on XBox 360 VGA Cables I read many complaints about ghosting. I'm wondering if this was the result of selecting higher resolutions. This won't be an issue for me since I'll be running the 1024x768 native resolution of my LCD display.
