Xbox360 + PC Monitor

by Splodge • 17 Dec 2007, 16:33 • Journals
Is it possible for me to plug my Xbox360 into my PC monitor ( http://www.viewsonic.com/products/desktopdisplays/lcddisplays/xseries/vx922/ ) and if so do i need some sort of extra cable to make it all work ok?

and Falcon type arcades and pros, and newer type cores and premiums.


And buy a vga-adapter.

yes, u can get a vga cable from game ( £15 ) mine cost me

u can also then use a vga to dvi converter if ure monitor only takes dvi input.

getting sound is a bit tricky though. I had to get 2 jack converters then a 2 analogue into 1 stereo converter into my subwoofer

would VGA or DVI give the best picture / quality?

All you need is the VGA cable, i have the same setup (different monitor obv) and it looks lovely, plus you actually choose the res as opposed to 1080i / 720p, so you can have it at its native 1280x1024 which will look even nicer.

Some old games from Xbox refuse to work with VGA. Might, or might not be an issue.
