VGA Cable shielding

[l0cke]

I bought a super-cheap Xbox 360 VGA cable. And of course, it has horrible ghosting problems. I know this is because of insufficient shielding, but what is the best way to fix this?

I only saw one example of someone fixing this, which involved taking out every individual wire and shielding it. Is that the best way to go?

Yes, the cable was the one from monoprice.

No, I won't care if I mess up a $7 cable.

Save yourself the trouble and get this one from Monoprice but if you want to shield every individual wire then go ahead.

There are several reviews on that cable that report ghosting when using it.

Well that sucks. Monoprice usually is quality stuff.

Yeah, they offered me a refund, but I still think I can get the cable to work.

I picked that up for $15 shipped on ebay. It was used but it got the job done free of ghosting, unlike my previous cheap cable.
