ill soon be getting a pc monitor and i was about to buy microsofts VGA cables for 40 dollars but then saw another brand, not sure the name, and they were a lot cheaper, around 15 bucks i believe. So is there any differece or should i go for the cheap brand.

I tried the MadCatz ones at first thinking the same thing. Picture quality was terrible. Returned them, got the MS cables and they look great!

it's just the material they use. the cheaper ones suffer more interference and general don't do a good job.
