    xbox 360 ghosting problem

    Got a 360 on wednesday hooked it up to my samsung 226bw and all was fine!! But today when i get the mission where u have go steal some drugs back for Elizabeth i started to get an odd ghosting problem. Will try and get a pic but also try and explain it. For example, the radar on the hud now has another radar in a lighter shade just off from it- if you know what i mean!

    I have unplugged the vga cable from my monitor and also where it connects to the 360 but no luck. My desktop viewing is fine, it just when i now turn the 360 to play gta4 it has this kinda ghosting thing going on.

    Any ideas what it could be, or why this has happened. Oh got the vga cable from GAME.

    I have tested a pc game and a film on my pc and both are fine on the screen, but i get the off center picture when on the 360.


    Any help guys, really want to sort this

    Where you say it came from GAME, you mean you bought the official one? or bought a game branded one?

    Always worth going official for analogue video cables.

    Take it back to GAME and they will refund it.

    When I used to work there many moons ago, we would instantly refund any home brand stuff as the quality was so bad.
