I'd say go for the Micro$oft version, but $35 seems a tad steep.

Well i don't really mean a difference from the tv to monitor, i just mean a difference in the cables themselves.

Alright well i only have 1 tv and atm i cant really afford another. Thing is my G/f likes to watch certain TV shows at night, so i was thinking about getting some VGA cables to play on my monitor.

My question: has anyone tried the Microsoft ones and the off brand? If so is there a loss in Quality between the two? Cause its a pretty big price difference, any other tips or suggestions helps, thanks.

The two im comparing,

I've only used the Microsoft VGA cable, and it works wonderfully.

The only think I don't like about them is that you need some separate speakers since most (atleast older) monitors don't have speakers in them.

I have the microsoft VGA cables, and they produce absolutely terrible blacks on an LCD HD TV... really detailed... but very poor contrast. I've seen a fair few few posts on various forums about this problem... If anyone knows how to overcome it, I'd be glad to hear the fix!
