Connectivity to Xbox 360

[bradeh]

I was wondering what you would need to connect the Xbox 360 to a PC LCD.

I dont know much about the monitor, this is all i know,

1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)
1 x DVI-D - 24 pin digital DVI

you probably want a vga cable from xbox to LCD, as sold here at ocuk.

You could use the DVI-D if your LCD is hdcp compliant, and if your xbox 360 has a digital hdmi output: in this case you need a hdmi to DVI-D adapter to attach to a hdmi cable (your LCD must be hdcp compliant though).


[edit] also, DVI-D does not carry sound data, so using a hdmi to DVI-D solution from the 360 to the LCD will require you to attach another cable to the xbox (say a composite cable) where you can attach the audio leads from this cable to your audio device (your LCD if it has speakers, or some other sound system).
