Xbox 360 -> DVI

Gas Panic! · 11 Jun 2007 at 00:17

Searched the forums and Google but to no luck. Basically I have a HD TV that accepts input through DVI (the white connector normally found on monitors), 2 x scart and composite. I have a VGA cable and the normal 360 component cable. What do I need to use in order to convert these to DVI and will the picture look crap? And in which case, would I be better sticking with VGA in my monitor?

Cheers for any help.

You just need a VGA>DVI adaptor. Can buy them most places.

Picture should just be as good really, I used the same method on my old HD TV.

It'll look identical to VGA as long as the adapter you get isn't rubbish.

You can't get digital video output from the Core/Premium 360s so you need to make sure the DVI port on the TV is DVI-I, as although it'll be using the DVI port the signal will still be analogue (VGA).

You certainly wont gain anything using a DVI-VGA adapter.

Ok thanks for that, I'll check if it's a DV-I or not.
