 Does'nt even fit... August 16, 2008

This is the most useless peice of equipment I've ever bought, the connector on the back is in the wrong bloody place. Either Microsoft has added another socket since this was made or '4gamers' company are retards. Could be both.
 A great VGA-output converter! April 13, 2008
Mr. Andrew P. Ribbons (Verwood, UK)
I already had the Madcatz VGA Cable for 360 before i bought this, but that cable is long, chunky and also not the best quality (i noticed some image shadowing, if only slight, on screen). However this little device gives you a VGA-slot at the back of your 360 on it's output panel. This allows me to connect my monitor straight to the 360, for minimal interferance and excess-cable. The madcatz cable does come in useful when a length of extra cable is required. This unit also has connections for standard Component, HD-Component, S-Video and Optical Audio out. The two additional fans do not give the 360 a significant amount of extra cooling, however i did notice it doesn't get quite as warm on the sides & at the back of the 360 unit now! I'd say it increasing cooling efficiency by around 10%. So if you're looking for something that really keeps your 360 cool, this isn't the job. Look for the 4Gamers Cooling Fan, which connects to the mains socket on the 360, so has far greater power to the fans, rather than through the AV Out on the 360 like this device.
Overall, i'm pleased with this little unit. I wish the fans were a bit more powerful, and that it sat more snugly on the back of the console, however these are forgivable for the price and the extra functionality it gives.
The seperate video cables do come in the box as well, just so you lot know. However, HD-Component cables not included.
So that's a good recommendation from me :)

I didn't buy this for its cooling function, but for the AV-outputs.
I have my 360 connected to a Sanyo PLV-Z5 projector and a Humax
LDE-40A 40" LCD-TV, optical out going to a JBL DTS/AC3 Surround System.
The problem was I always had to change the cables (VGA/Beamer and Component/TV) AND the optical each time. Besides this being a hassle I felt the connectors wearing out, sitting not too firmly anymore.
Now I have all cables connected simultaneously and just turn 2 little
switches ! VGA working perfectly in 1280x720, component 720p/1080i. No pink screens, no 480p-only - everything works as expected.
People facing those problems are doing something wrong I think: You cant switch output while the 360 is running - it checks the connections when booting; pink screens may indicate wrong cable-connections; VGA/component settings on the display-device may bet set wrong ...
This is a passive device meaning it does NOT have any special circuits, it's nothing more than a "cable" with 2 switches and more connectors, so theres no reason why this shouldn't work properly.
The fans are working silently, I doubt they'll help much, though. It may be a good idea to remove them, or connect an external power-supply to them. Im not sure if the extra-load on the AV-out is "good" for the 360.
Great product for the AV-Outs ! Maybe a good cooling-soultion - not sure, though ...
Ordered sunday-night, delivered tuesday-morning (from the UK to germany !)
Thats damn quick :)
