Hi all. I've just bought an Xbox and the official RGB scart lead for it. The thing is, am i the only one who finds the picture a bit soft and lacking in contrast? I previously had my Dreamcast through the same socket on RGB scart and the picture was great, very sharp and bright. Just thought i'd see what others thought on here. Cheers peeps.

I don't see what there is consider! The picture is so much better quality, it should be an automatic purchase.

I've got the official cable and have no problems with it, picture is excellent when you consider it's on a crap brand 21 inch tv.

It sounds, like Wookie has already said, that it's faulty, but it might be an idea to play around with your TV's settings as on the PS2 I found that games in looked different to the game in 50hz in terms of brightness, colour, contrast e.t.c.

I have to play my Xbox on 50hz, and if you're using it on 60hz then that could be why I haven't seen the difference.

Hm, that was rather rambling wasn't it ?

I have an unofficial RGB SCART cable and it's fine. Could possibly be a defective cable?
