Just bought myself an XBOX 360. a new premium one. HDMI output. Want to run it on my 24" gateway monitor, which has component inputs, and DVI and VGA.

i know VGA will only go up to 720p, but DVI will do full 1080 HD. But heres where im confused. What do i then do with Audio? are there HDMI>DVI cables that split the audio away like on the VGA one? help meee :(

if i used the composite, will it be high quality or is DVI better?

Thanks in advance
 
Ive just bought it...dont wanna be taking things apart tbh.

So the cables im on about dont even exist? the HDMI to DVI and red/white audio?
 
When i tried my mates via the VGA cable it wouldnt do 1080 properly. even on my 24" monitor and on 1:1 pixel mapping, it was cropping most of the image out. hmm.

thats stupid, i wuda thought those cables would exist as i bet a lot of people would have use for them..

would the Component do HD properly?
 
ahhh
right thanks for the help guys,

one more thing, I think ive heard from somewhere that using the component cables make it all ghosted and blurred, is that true?


ill see what component is like for me, then might have to purchase that HDMI audio splitter thingy, so i can use DVI. Thanks again :)

thats the back of it. Is the lil one under HDMI the audi output or soemthing?
 
Hmmm, got it all setup now with component inputs. its extremely dark, had to turn brightness all the way up and drop the contrast considerably in order to get an 'okish' view. Hoping HDMI>DVI wil be better.

One thing im concerned about though, when im using the HDMI output on the 360 for video, will it still let me use the normal A/V cable for sound output? surely the 360 will try and chuck the audio out of the hdmi too? :(

Any help would be great
 
im sending it Via HDMI to my Gateway 24" HD PC monitor, via DVI. the DVI has HDCP. so im assuming this is what will give me the best results?
 
Got my cable, Got audio as AV cable, had to take the plastic off it to squeeze the HDMI plug in but its alright. Overall a LOT nicer quality, for some reason howver, 1080i gives me strange horizontal lines across the screen near the bottom. Theyre not overly noticable, but enough to make me want to get rid of them. these lines are NOT existant when on 720 though. hmm. ANy suggestions?
