does it have VGA, DVI, or HDMI on the back of the screen? you can get a converter for the above to HDMI if you don't have a port on your Screen and set it up like that

I'd personnaly use the DVI to HDMI

 

[danb87]

will the hd quality be any good on it mate? or will it be crap lol?

 

[lingl9z]

the DVI in theory should support 1080.... depends on the quality of your monitor I guess, I have a full HD Philips monitor but it has a HDMI port on the back and the quality is much better than my Full HD LCD TV

[danb87]

right i ordered that one off ebay dude, so that when plugged into xbox an into screen shud automatically pick the signal of the xbox up yea?

 

[pig666eon]

dont order them cables!!!! only unless your screen is hdcp compliant the cables wont work man ive been going over this for months trying to hook up a projector and the cables are useless you need a converter box

you can buy a xbox to vga but buy it from xbox it cost me 25 euro and spent more than that fucking around

to answer you question yes you can hook up your xbox to a pc screen i have done it but only with a original xbox vga cable i have bought cables ect all useless

and i wasnt going to spend 70-80 quid on a converter box

ending soon if you can snap it up buy xbox you dont want the hassle man best quality cable by far and i got them all pay the extra few quid its worth it in the end
