Xbox 360 on 3 different monitors? Possible?

JG1337 · 26 May 2012 at 11:22

Hey guys, just ordered my new mega rig and gone for 3 monitors to use for gaming and etc..

Is it possible to hook my Xbox 360 up to all three monitors?

My monitors: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-168-SA x3

They have: Input Connectors HDMI, DVI-D Display

My Xbox is the latest one ('slim') and normally i use HDMI..

Is this possible to get it on all three screens or impossible?

Thanks in advance

Would i just plug the HDMI cable into the back of the PC and stretch the screen acrss all three or will this make like noticable digital delay?

You can do it with games like Forza, but you need 3 xbox's and 3 copies of the game.

I doubt its possible otherwise, or look very good. Seen as most games are displayed at highest 720p.

3 xbox's and 3 copies? that's a total waste of money

Any other ideas or possibilities?

Do you want the same image on each screen?

The only way it would be doable is with a hardware solution, A multiviewer. It's how shops and other venues setup those videowalls.

Not really financially viable.

It would look stupid anyway. Unless you want a 16:9 image stretched across 48:9.

Matrox triple head2go for a hardware option: http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/products/gxm/th2go/displayport/

I didnt think many games would support this option, except forza which requires 3 xboxs

You do realise what happens when you rotate a 16:9 screen?

Even so can't see the point. The image will be obscured by the monitor bezels.

May as well get a HD projector which will do a far better job with the 360 and give you a significantly bigger screen 70"+.
