Should have component or HDMI input for HD. The biggest thing to watch: make sure it's 16:9 aspect ratio NOT 16:10. The xbox doesn't support 16:10 meaning the picture would be streched and theres nothing you could do about it. While it is also possible to get an adapter from microsoft to connect the xbox to a computer monitor, you will run other issues doing that..... LCDs have a native resolution the input signal must be set to or the picture looks all blury. Widescreen monitors are also 16:10 and I'm not sure how the xbox handles that. |

Post Number: 1535 Registered: May-07 | btw idk if it was mentioned u'll need a dvi to vga adapter to even link up video to that moniter, then use a y adapter to 3.5mm to link up audio from 360. i have used that adapter to link up my 360 to mu old lcd creen without issue, the 360 has up scaling options to adjust to the screen pretty much reguradless of the lcd's native resoloution. although high def might not truely be high def depending on the moniter's rez. |
