Xbox on Monitor

[Dorkenstein]

Is there a way for me to use an Xbox on my pc's monitor? Thanks...

Yes,
1)X2vga
2)VD-z3
These are adapters for about $50-60 which you can use

What if I only have one VGA port?

What you'll do is run a cable from your computer to the box and then from the box you'll run a cable to the monitor. When you play Xbox it should automatically switch over to using that signal (if it doesn't do it automatically, it'll have a switch more than likely) and when you turn it off it'll go back to the PC signal.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks! I'm glad to know I can do it with only one VGA port.

Has anyone used one of those adapters before? If so, how good is the quality of the graphics on the monitor?

When I play my xbox or GC on my monitor using my TV tuner, the quality is not good at all.

Not to threadjack, but is there a such thing as an LCD monitor that you can watch TV/play video games on without a TV tuner?
