Thread: Component vs VGA running long

I would recomend running the vga long. I run a vga cable that is over 100 ft long from a computer to a projector and I haven;t had any problems with it.

Are you planning on hooking up your xbox to a projector?

I would go with the VGA longer also consider this when you go from component to vga sometimes the converterss don't work good I tried buying one from Radio shack and I could not get the stupid thing to work.

So if your going to go from component or HDMI, RGB, or just the yellow component make sure you get a good VGA converter box.

I thought it was recommended that video game systems do no be used on projectors? If you want the clearest sharper image, go VGA. You will not have any signal loss. When you go over lengths past 200 ft is when you have signal loss.

wanna recommend where to get cables at a reasonable price that are good quality? i bought VGA at this store and nothing but bad luck with ghosting

looked at that... but the component ends look cheap compared to the premium cables they have for component

looks like its just not wrapped in the plastic black coating.

I have used projectors in the past for gaming and haven't had a prblem with them. cablestogo.com has some good prices for pretty much any cable you want.
