Component-DVI adapter for HDPC moniters

ozalon · Nov 17, 2006, 02:55 AM

k, ive been wanting to get a xbox 360 (no, not a wii or PS3) so i can play halo2, halo3, COD3, ect, ect, but there is no way im paying for an HDTV. but i am getting a samsung syncmaster 225BW (or mebbe another 21-24 inch windescreen LCD, its not set in stone) and i was wondering if there is any way of running a component cable from the 360, to the DVI input on my moniter. or if anyone knows a good moniter with component inputs that would be great too.

lol i just picked one up for free earlier today! Im expecting the core 360 for christmas but will be picking up an hdtv before then

its called an HD VGA cable, plugs into the video output on the 360 and plugs into any vga monitor

hmm... that cable any good? i meen, its analog so... hows the quality compared to HD?

EDIT: just realized that HDTV's are basically computer moniters (pixaliated) so, even though its not HD there shouldnt be much of a differance should there?

ive been reading about it and so far if your using a pc monitor for your 360 go with the vga cable if your using a tv go with component/HDMI. Page two of the review talks about image quality

lol did some research while i was waiting for a reply, turns out that that analog adapter DOES carry an HD signal, and that DVI would only make sence if you were going to game at a resolution of like 4000 by 6000

anyways, thank you. your help has been appriciated
