How to Connect Xbox 360 to Computer Monitor ?

Hello , I Have an Xbox 360 It Work Fine Complete and i want to use the my 25 inch Computer Monitor . Is there any easy way to make this happen? alternately i have an Wii which has a 480i resolution with the supplied composite cables. It can reach 480p with available component cables. I believe aftermarket S-video cables are also available.I was thinking of buying a USB TV tuner with composite (or other) inputs. Would the USB connection provide fast enough throughput for fluid gaming? What would the video quality be like with Wii’s maximum 480p resolution on a 1920x1200 monitor? Does anybody make aftermarket cables for a direct DVI connection?Have any of you done this? How about the Xbox? Is the picture quality worth the hassle? Any specific hardware recommendations? and finally please tell How to Set it Up. All experiences are welcome.Thank you in advance for your help!

The easiest way is to get a video capture card for a desktop pc, or if you can find one with rca input, a laptop capture card. You can also get a modulator box that would not even require a pc, but, those can be very expensive for general quality. An even easier way is to buy the xbox 360 vga cable which can probably be bought for about fifteen bucks and have the xbox 360 hooked up directly to the moniter.

Hello ,Here's an answer to a similar question. It's about a composite AV to VGA lead.It might be quite pricey (£24.99), but it can't fit a tv in room, so this saves money in that sense. Anyway, here's the useful answer "When you buy the VGA cable to connect to your monitor, it will have the VGA plug plus separate RCA jacks, red and white respectively, for your audio. That would be the one to go into your speakers. If your speaker doesn't support RCA jacks but it has a mini plug (3.5mm) for the input, which is the plug on most audio devices, the VGA kit includes a RCA Female -> Mini Male plug. If your speakers is hardwired to have a mini plug with the cable, then you have to buy a female to female mini plug converter.

Hellom most modern computer monitors with VGA input are compatible with the Xbox 360.

Display Quality
Customer comments for this product on Amazon note that the picture may appear washed out on some displays, but claim this can be solved by recalibrating the display for optimal picture quality.

Apple Cinema Display Difficulties
This cable will not work directly with an Apple Cinema Display. You may be able to get some mileage from VGA/DVI converters, however I cannot offer any first-hand experience on this issue. If any readers have hacked together a solution for hooking an Xbox 360 up to an ACD, feel free to share.
