Review: If you want the best get these wires. I have a Toshiba 24" Pure flat screen TV with component video and the graphics just flow from the screen, and it's not even a hdtv. Add in the fiber optic cable for sound and you will have the ultimate gaming experience.

Summary: Great product, lousy price
Review: Let me start off by saying that if you don't mind spending $60 for cable then this is definately the cable for you. Even though I never even bothered to use the A/V cables that came with the XBox I've noticed a great difference when compared to my other gamesystems. When I play my other game systems, which don't have these cables they're not nearly as clear. In fact before I got my xbox I was kind of disappointed because when I purchased my new 32" television, because of pixel attenuation, there wasn't as much detail as there was on my old 20" television. Well that all changed when I hooked up these cables. Oh, and that's without using the 1081 dpi adjustment trick that everyone keeps talking about. My one gripe is the price. Is it too high; yea, a little but only because not everyone can afford it. So, with that being said if money's not a real issue go for it. If money is an issue you might want to consider the 300x, I've not heard good things about the 200x so you might not even want to bother wasting your time on that one.

Summary: If you can afford it...Buy it!!
Review: No need for a lengthy technical review here, otherwise this would sound too repetetive. I tried:
*InterActs S-Video/AV cables and found them to be just basic cables. The main plug to the XBOX didn't even fit snug. I returned them immediately. *Microsofts High Definition AV Pack again just basic cables. No dramatic change whatsoever in video quality. Too many extra hook-ups that can cause video noise.
I didn't return them because my brother bought them :) It sucks to be him right now. I finally decided to go with my original gut instincts, I didn't want to buy the Monster cables because of the high price, I also thought I could get just as good a picture quality with the less expensive versions.
Boy was I mistaken when I hooked them up!! Like night and day!! Solid connections!! Superior construction!! Bottom line? If you are serious about console gaming as I have become, this is a direct connection into your XBOX, the only way to exploit your XBOX and HDTV's video capabilities.(Can't wait for true 1080i games to come out) To take advantage of the Digital audio side you would need to also purchase the Monster Game LightWave 100X. It plugs into the jack of the Monster Cable XGL400X and into your Dolby Digital Audio Reciever. You actually get what you pay for and Monster Game cables should be your final stop in the quest for the best cable as they are the legendary leader in Audio/Video and Gaming cables.
***Monster Game cables is the gaming side of Monster Cable*** Hope this non techie laymans review helped.

Summary: Hooking up your X-box using component cables is the ultimate
Review: Plain and simple, if you had to choose between composite, which is the 3 color(red, white, yellow) RCA connection, the S-Video connection, or Component connections, Component blows them out of the water. If you just want the best possible video connection, period, this is it. This cable is made by monster cable so you know it's quality. The wire is very strong and bend resistant. This also has an optical out so you can hook it up to a reciever to get dolby surround but it has to be bought separately. Only downside is that you need a TV that has component inputs or even a reciever that has component inputs. I have a Sony Wega and they come with component inputs, if you don't have a TV that comes with component inputs, this is not for you. Remember it has to have component inputs, 5 input jacks. I tested it out on my TV using the standard RCA and the component, the component is noticeably clearer and sharper so I can testify that it works.

Summary: Monster 5.1
Review: Plugging the red and white audio jacks into
your receiver is not going to give you 5.1
sound.They're analog out's.You need the opt-
ical adapter to accommodate the toslink opt-
ical cable to receive dolby digital.The only
other way is through the coaxial digital input
on your reciever,but it's not as clean a con-
nection as fiber optic.

Summary: Overpriced Pseudo-Science Marketing
Review: Where I work, we once had a discussion about Monster cables and if they really do provide a better signal than a decent less-expensive cable. So, we injected a range on freqencies through the Monster and looked at it on both an O-scope and a spectrum analyzer. We then did the same for a cable of the same type, but not a so-called Monster. The Monster had *slightly* less attenuation, however the attenuation was not constant and the fluctuating attenuation introduced fluctuating harmonics. The differences between the Monster and the other cable, however, were along the same lines that one would expect to see from two similiar cables from different manufacturers. My conclusion is that Monster cables simply are not worth the price. As for the construction itself, I don't find it very durable. It gives the appearance of durability, but I was not impressed with how the connectors were applied. For as much as these things cost, there should be better workmanship. Professional cables can be had for half the cost of Monster cables. Monster cables are high-end low-end cables, where the high-end aspect is mainly in price. Its no suprise that one wouldn't find Monster cables being used in any professional sound studio. I believe the "better picture aspect" of Monster video cables to be attributed mainly to psychological factors. My advice would be to get the Microsoft HD AV Pack (which is what I'm using myself) for $20 and use the $40 you'll save on a game.

Summary: Good cable in theory, but poor execution
Review: While this cable will definitely give you the cleanest signal you're going to get from your XBox, be careful as the construction quality is not all you would expect for the outrageously high price. The RCA plugs fit EXTREMELY tightly and the first time I had to remove the cable from my television (gripping correctly by the plug!) they were so tight that one of them simply fell apart. On seeing the internal construction of the plug I wasn't surprised; it's just barely attached to the cable by a tiny bit of solder. Caveat emptor.
