(More customer reviews)This is something that I had been waiting for when I decided to upgrade my TV in size from a 22" to a 46", also from 1080i to 1080p. Since I had the old pro console without an HDMI port in the back I still wanted to make use of the 360's 1080p capability. This conversion kit was the solution. Unfortunately the one I received might have been defective. As I turned everything on after the connections were made, it started out flickering my TV screen with static and green flashes before any image came out. Then when it finally did produce an image, it would distort the screen by producing multiple images of my 360 dashboard and would sometimes lose the whole image.
After three tries with similar results I decided to read the instructional pamphlet and it said to first turn off all power and disconnect any A/V cables, connect the adapter 1st, connect the HDMI to the adapter 2nd, 3rd connect the other end of the HDMI into the HDMI port on the TV, 4th turn on TV and last turn on 360. It must be done this way for everything to "initialize properly".
Well I didn't do it exactly like that initially and did it again the right way, it worked after a few hiccups. Though I tried it the next day and ran into the problem again. I finally had enough when it made my 360 get 4 red lights (not the red ring of death which has 3) so I plug my component cables back in and I'm returning this thing.
Pro: Noticed a higher quality in video on MadCatz HDMI conversion kit (using other cables that what was included) compared to the Monster 360 component AV cables.
Cons: Defective, at least mine was, I might exhange it for another. Price is high and the HDMI cable was too short! Only 3ft long, had to buy a 6ft Philips 1.3 HDMI cable at WM (under $35) which I didn't mind buying because I'll need another one eventually when I upgrade my A/V reciever to one that has HDMI ports.
