    Sorry, doctor. I'm going to have to agree with Engima. You are gimpin' yourself! Get yourself a HDMI. I used those connectors you posted and then swapped to HDMI and never looked back. I didn't know any better at the time. Try that and see if it goes away, if it doesn't - well at least your green tint will look better.

    The Xbox should have come with its own HDMI cable. I know mine did.

    Depends on the model. I believe all models in the last year dont. I know my Elite didnt that I bought a week or two before the new slim model came out last year.

    it didnt come with the hdmi...didnt want to buy one in case Im gonna return this faulty one..if its faulty.

    You think it may look green tinted because of the cable? hdmi would fix it?

    maybe I can borrow one and see..ill post back I find one
