You need this...
click me...

BEWARE. The colors look washed if you didn't read about it already. The picture also doesn't fill the whole screen.

Looks like it may be on back order. If you cant find one, I might have an extra one lying around somewhere or ill give you mine when I get my elite.

I need to get one as well so that I can connect my wife's laptop to our DLP TV.

If the washed colors are fixed then there still the issue that it doesnt take up the whole screen. It just bugs me playing a game and seeing 2 black bars on the side. Nice TV BTW. I have the 57732.

That Tv has a great picture on it I sold a 65712 Diamond that Ihad for a few years and got the 65732 . Here is something I found about the VGA

VGA ports on many TVs assumes that a computer is driving it, as opposed to an A/V source. Unfortunately, the world of PC uses a different range of values for each color component than the more limited range used in video domain. So when we output the proper video signal, it gets treated like an anemic video signal with washed out quality. In the new software, you will be able to instruct the 360 to convert its signals to PC levels, and hence solve this issue.

Answering other questions, both Xbox 360 Elite and current Xbox 360 units will have a spring (console) update which adds support for different video levels for VGA output (“7.5 IRE vs 0”). And as someone mentioned, using this setting you should be able to use computer monitors in addition to TVs with resolutions all the way up to 1080p with high fidelity and no issues with HDCP handshaking. So for current users, I highly recommend trying this update with your VGA connection to see if it does the job for you. Note that this is a console update and will work for both games and of course, HD DVD. The HD DVD software update is separate from this (and will be available on both Xbox Live and xbox.com).

Used a VGA ==> DVI once. Looks silly since it was used in conjuction with a DVI ==> HDMI. Made for a nice big block.

I had my elite preordered from Circuit City the day they had it available. So either way hopefully the spring update solves all the problems. So the adapter is yours if you can't find one.
