    Monster GameLink 360 Component Video

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...lance&n=172282

    At $37.95, these are a steal. I've read on some HD ites tht you get a better overall picture quality with these than the MS brand that came with premium.

    i have been wondering if these are that much better than what was shipped with the console.

      You'll have to sign up here at hdtvarcade.com for a free account, but there are 4 pages on people that have tested these cables.



      I just ordered a set from Amazon who had them the cheapest for $20 w/shipping since I had a $25 gift certificate.

        You'd be better off sticking with your original component cables unless you are planning on running cable for longer distances (greater than 10 feet). Monster cables are grossly overpriced.

          Agreed 100%. There is no way you'll tell any difference with the cables.

            I ordered them for $20 off of Amazon since I had a gift certificate, when I get them next week I'll let you guys know. I have read at a few sites that the colors are more vibrant with the Monster Cables, so I guess we will see.

            EG, Have you had any kind of distortion with the Pelican Component Switch box?

            I get some distortion when I first start watching TV off of my DVR and then it goes away. There has to be some cables that are causing this issue.

              No, no distortion. I have 6 things hooked up through it as well.

                  I bet it's those Comcast component cables that are hooked up to my DVR, their shielding royally sucks. I only have my 360, DVD Player, and DVR hooked up to that box. My DVD Player has Monster Cables, so it comes down to the 360 and DVR cables and I think it might be the DVR cables.

                  My PS2 and XBOX are on my tv in my office.

                    No problem. Those guys over at HDTVArcade are big video/audiophiles. I've been going there for years reading more posts than posting as we can see by my post total over there. There are a few guys that saw a difference between the 2 cables, so I guess it might also depend on the kind of TV that you have.

                      My Comcast box is hooked up HDMI, so couldn't tell you. But I do have some cheap component cables on there.

                      I've read enough comparisons that have proved to me that Monster is nothing more than a name, so I don't buy them.

                        All I can say to that, is your eyes can play tricks on you, especially after spending money on something new. Unless you have 2 360's on 2 exact TV's with the exact same settings, you aren't going to see a difference, as your mind is going to trick you into thinking one looks better than the other.

                          in my so called gaming room lol i just have a panasonic 26inch widescreen HDTV. the size of the room is small so the TV to me looks around 30 to 32 inches. i only have 2 component slots in back of tv and like 4 vid and 2 s-vid slots as well. i most def need a component selector, is that what you two are talking about? if so could ya link me to that as well lol sorry.

                          i also just ordered an HDMI cable from www.monoprice.com for like 7 bucks lol we carry the same cable at work for around 100 bucks. i got that for my panasonic HD upconvert dvd player. i still have not bit the bullet yet for the HD direct tv hd/tivo box yet.

                              EG, you can see & hear a difference with the Monster 360 cables.. It has nothing with "Your eyes/ears playing tricks" I have the Monster 360 Component Cables & noticed a difference in both Audio & Video when I changed cables..

                              Enough a change, that I'm very happy I made the switch... BTW Candy I hoope you realize those Cables do-not come with an optical option & you will have to purchase the Optical Cable seperately in order to get DIGITAL Surround Sound from a reciever if you use 1.
