    Monitor not Detecting Xbox 360 (HDMI to VGA)


    Hi guys, I have recently bought a hdmi to vga cable to hook my xbox 360 up to my monitor. I have tried multiple monitors but the monitor won't detect my xbox. It says VGa : No Signal. Any help?

    Connecting to a computer flat screen instead of a television screen

    If the monitor supports HDMI, use an HDMI cable. If not, use an HDMI to DVI cable.



    If the monitor only supports VGA, use the AV port VGA cable.

    Question about Outputs...

    Ok, I'm currently using a Viewsonic monitor that only runs on VGA or DVI. I have a VGA power cord from Microsoft that I use for Xbox 360. Should I just go buy an HDMI monitor for Xbox One? Or should I stick with this one and buy a HDMI to VGA converter?
    Lemme know.

    Monitor not Detecting Xbox 360 (HDMI to VGA)

    There is a number of possibilities.

    First, a simple cable will not have the necessary components to convert the digital signal from HDMI to the analog signal for VGA. It would need a converter. It might be possible to build it into an oversized plug, but I'm not so sure that has been done,
    especially as the converter needs power that it cannot source from either connection.

    Yet, there are plain cables out there terminated with an HDMI plug on one end and a VGA (D-SUB) plug on the other end, supposedly designed for devices that can output digital signals over a VGA output, but that is a non-standard and I haven't been able to
    find out anything solid about which devices actually support that. Most devices, the Xbox 360 included, do not support them.

    Secondly, if the cable has a converter, make sure you haven't received the wrong kind that it is intended to convert VGA to HDMI.

    Thirdly, if the cable has a converter and is the right type, there may be handshaking problems between it and the Xbox 360 keeping the conveter from getting a signal, or the Xbox 360 might not get correct information on what the converter supports and output
    a signal that the converter cannot process.

    Older model Xbox 360s (before the Xbox 360 E) natively support VGA output over their A/V output though. Microsoft no longer makes those cables, but there are of course used and third party cables Xbox 360 VGA cables available. Unless you have an Xbox 360
    E, that would be a much simpler solution than using a converter.

    Hi HebertonJulio,

    Seeing that the Xbox 360 works on a TV using the HDMI cable, then the issue is most likely the VGA/HDMI adapter or even the monitor. It's safe to assume that the Xbox 360 and the HDMI cable are fine.

    The only way to figure out if the issue is with the monitor or adapter is to try the setup on a different monitor similar to yours or try a different adapter on your monitor.

    If you have a standalone VGA cable, connect that directly to the monitor, and locate a VGA to HDMI adapter to plug the VGA cable into the adapter and then plug the HDMI side into the console. That would be the only other way to connect your Xbox 360 to a
    monitor.

    Playing Xbox 360 on my PC monitor

    Please check to ensure your monitor comes with HDMI port - Most older monitors only comes with DVI and VGA.

    -

    If yours is the latter, you will have to purchase the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV cable.

    Using a computer monitor instead of a television

    If you decide to go with VGA,
    this is the cable     you want.



    Check your monitor. If you have HDMI input and speakers, just get an HDMI cable.

    Looking at getting a gaming monitor... Questions tho!

    In order to connect a monitor to your Xbox 360 you will need an Xbox 360 VGA HD adapter or if your monitor has Hdmi a HDMI cable. Depending on your monitor you may need to setup a headset or speakers for sound but alot of monitors nowadays come either I
    built or packaged with the monitor.
