Default Ground loop distortion on Video Screen

I just installed an xbox everything works perfectly, but there is a loop that runs through the screen, it's rather annoying.

Anyone ever have this problem with their install of an Xbox?

Instead of masking the problem you might want to figure out the source.. I have an xbox and LCD, however, I don't have the ground loop noise you speak of.. where is the LCD grounded?

are you using a power inverter? where is that grounded to? Is the video wire run next to power wires?

I had the positive wired to the ignition switch, I thought that would be good enough, but it ended up makeing a distortion on the picture, I decided to wire it to the cigarette lighter, and it works perfectly, thanks for the help guys!
