water Posted November 25, 2006 CID Share Posted November 25, 2006 Does your flat panel monitor have a place to connect the VGA HD AV Cable ? I bet it does, but look at the back and see. If so - then yes you can connect them - the X Box was designed to support that. Edit: I looked it up and yes it should support the VGA HD AV Cable. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=19&sku=320-5003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted November 25, 2006 CID Share Posted November 25, 2006 you could do something like this.. http://www.cablesnmor.com/vga-rca-cable.html I know there are converter boxes produced by viewsonic for this type of application..

Swimmer Posted November 26, 2006 CID Share Posted November 26, 2006 Those cables are for component sources.. so like hi def stuff.. Otherwise here is the product that I was talking about http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/video-vga-gvm-2000.html I cant find the Viewsonic one anymore... I guess they discontinued it..

tommie gorman Posted November 26, 2006 CID Share Posted November 26, 2006 Audio? Hm...that would have got me. And then I would have been irritated. And probably thinking I was going deaf. What a wonderful forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballista Posted November 26, 2006 CID Share Posted November 26, 2006 Tommy what you're gonna have to do is get a KVM switch and a VGA cable made for the xbox-360. A basic KVM switch you should be able to find for 20 bucks and the Xbox adapter cable is gonna run 40 bucks before tax. I just got my X-Box 360 yesterday and spent a good portion of last on the x-box forums to find this stuff out.

tommie gorman Posted November 27, 2006 CID Share Posted November 27, 2006 No no, not me ballista, I was just commenting haphazardly. I don't even own an X-box360. Aren't they video and music recorders?? (or something like that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
