Customer Review: Works well for gaming
Summary: 5 Stars
My TV has a problem interfacing with my Xbox360 through the HDMI port and I have been unable to figure out any kind of solution. My tech support experience made me decide to consider other options, like the fact the TV also has a DVI input. I bought this with the understanding that the DVI input = HDMI - without the sound. I figured that even if the cable didn't work (or my TV was still uncooperative) that the cable is reasonably priced and I'd still be able to use it with my LCD monitor. The picture quality is great and, though its hard to tell, I think I might notice a slight improvement with this setup relative to the component cables, but it's hard to say for sure. I also used this cable to hook up the 360 to a computer monitor with similar results.
I see that others have mentioned this issue, but it bears repeating. There is no optical output on the actual Xbox360 and with the HDMI cable plugged in you won't be able to fit the component cable into the Xbox360's AV output slot which is positioned adjacent to the HDMI output. I bought an elite model and it came with a slimmer audio only output connector (has red/white output and the optical port) that will attach with the HDMI cable plugged in.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only industry-standard interface for transmitting uncompressed digital data. HDMI cables are intended for use with a wide range of everyday electronic components, such as computers and a home theater system?s screen. HDMI provides video, especially at high resolutions, and renders small, high-contrast details, such as text, in high quality. DVI (Digital Visual Interface) is a video-interface standard that provides quality transmissions on digital display devices such as flat-panel LCD computer displays and digital projectors. Audio will need to be transmitted through a separate audio cable(s) or through a fiber-optic (Toslink) cable as the DVI connector of this cable is not fitted for audio capability.
