    Xbox to monitor

    Not sure if this is a right forum to ask this, or even the right website, but I am running into walls in my own research.

    I recently got myself an xbox 360, and due to financial budgeting, I can not afford to get myself a HD TV for the foreseeable future. Now, I do have myself a rather nice monitor I use for my PC gaming. My hope is to turn my monitor (DVI and VGA ports only on it, no HDMI()) and connect it to my xbox to play it in high def. Is it possible, with a cord or adaptor box, and also get sound?

    Re: Xbox to monitor

    All you will need is a Xbox 360 VGA lead since you already got VGA input on your monitor. I got a Joytech VGA lead from Play.com. Works ok on my monitor. BTW, I think the picture quality through VGA is astounding. Especially playing Oblivion. Only trouble is if you're used to using your monitor at say 1280x1024 @ 85Hz it'll look pretty flickery to begin with limited to 60Hz on the 360.
