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 https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16535-i-got-a-question/#findComment-187166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16535-i-got-a-question/#findComment-187665 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 https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/16535-i-got-a-question/#findComment-187900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
