hmmm, I remember hearing about a VGA adaptor or something. I dont know exactley. That is a good idea though, if you have an old monitor laying around. Try searching the forums for old topics.

With the standard cables, you'll need a video card in your pc that has tv-in functionality, else you'll need a vga adapter cable which I've seen around, but not sure who's selling them. I run my xbox into my pc all the time to record videos and take screen shots.

Yes you can. There's two out there, But there both home-made

There's digital-x

And there's Kgasper at:

There both around 70-80 bucks though.

Yeah, and you could almost buy a new 19" TV for that much.

I play on my 19" monitor all the time, but what you need is a decent computer and an ATI All-In-Wonder graphics card. Admittedly, they are pretty pricy, but the also run the top line computer games too.

what brand vga adaptor did you buy? that would help. the one listed above seems to be a true vga signal. opposed to adaptors that just use line doublers.

the VGA adaptor looks cool, but for a few extra dollars i could buy a brand new 51cm t.v.


thankyou to everyone that posted in this thread.
