psnap777 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Hi Guys. I received the Hyperkin HDMI cable today that I ordered a few days ago. Unfortunately it didn't perform any better than the Pound cable, in fact I think the Pound cable is better. I have five XBOXs; three v1.0s, one v1.3 and one v1.4. All of my XBOXs have the Conexant video encoder except for the v1.4 which has a Focus video encoder. Of the five systems I have, two of the v1.0s work well with the Pound cable and the Hyperkin cable, (no interference or noise in the signal). But with one of the v1.0s as well as the v1.3 and v1.4 there is noise and interference with both the Pound cable and the Hyperkin cable, although it's worse with the Hyperkin cable. Also, when I called Hyperkin today to discuss this with them and ultimately request a refund, they were quite rude. I had high hopes for this cable but was left very dissapointed. Just wanted to share this with everyone incase you were considering getting one. I wouldn't recommend it. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewskii2117 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 I went with the Hyperkin cable over the Pound, (before I found this post), It's still more playable then my AV cable in the big flatscreen, but I do notice some weird diagonal almost diamond shape pattern in the background. It's fairly subtle (is this the same thing your seeing?), can mostly ignore it while playing and I can't be sure if it's not the cheap flatscreen I've got it hooked up to. The original component cables are getting fairly expensive I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neighbor Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) you can go with DIY component cables made of Xbox 360 cables. Edited November 26, 2018 by neighbor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p4ngw4ng Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 Did you try plugging the pound cable into power? Seems like that fixes the issue sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewskii2117 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 The Hyperkin HD cable doesn't have a micro usb port (at least mine doesn't), However the V2 version of the pound cable has them I heard. Also someone from pound mentioned that the capacitors can be getting old and may contribute to the interference in the XBox. it's in this thread. Replacing them supposedly helps. https://www.reddit.com/r/originalxbox/comments/9nupbc/my_experience_with_the_hyperkin_hdmi_cable/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewskii2117 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 LOL, I just realized the original post is the same as the one on reddit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
