    I know that Minecraft can't run splitscreen if you use composite AV wires, but if you use a wire that connects the Xbox HDMI to VGA, would it work. Here is the link to the wire I'm talking about: http://www.rakuten.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=205880672

    USB to HDMI

    Hi,

    If you want to connect your computer monitor that does not have an HDMI port to your Xbox One console, you can use an HDMI adapter and connect it to the monitor's USB port. Its display would depend on the resolution of your computer monitor. To know more
    about your computer monitor's screen resolution, you may need to get in touch with the device manufacturer.

    Don't hesitate to get back to us if you have any other inquiries.

    DVI or VGA to HDMI adaptor. you will not have sound. so either a RJ11 to RCA adaptor or a good set of surround phones /w mic are good.

    He said he had an Xbox 360 VGA Adapter. So yes, he will have sound and does not need an extra video connector.

    You hook up the RCA to 3.5mm adapter i described to the red and white and then plug your PC or headphone speakers into the 3.5mm connector. Plug the VGA cable into the monitor's VGA port and use the monitor's DVI port for your computer (assuming your computer
    can output DVI).

    Again, if the computer does NOT have a DVI port (I looked up the monitor and it does has a DVI port), then you have to use a VGA KVM switch to flip between two VGA connections easily.

    Yes, it would work. Note however that this cable does not connect to the HDMI out on the console, it connects to the AV connector, the same connector that you can use for Composite video output or Component output. Its basically the same cable as the official
    Microsoft HD VGA cable


    Does your monitor have built in speakers and an audio in jack? Without one, you won't be able to get sound and most monitors don't support the red and white RCA audio connectors. If it does have an audio in, it will more than likely be the 3.5mm variety,
    in which case you would need
    one of these
    too.

    If your monitor does not have built in speakers you will need to have a separate set of speakers or stereo system that has external audio inputs.

    connecting my 360 to my computer monitor

    Hi, you cannot connect your xbox to your Computer, but you can connect it to your monitor. Check the back of your monitor to see if it has an HDMI port and or VGA(Blue) or DVI(White). Most newer monitors have built in HDMI. If you don't you'll need to find
    an HDMI to VGA or DVI. Hope this helps and good luck.

    Hooking up my Xbox One to a VGA monitor?

    VGA is an analog connection and the X1 only connects to digital sources, hence the hdmi. I don't believe there is a viable option to connect to a vga monitor but you would be able to connect to a newer monitor that has hdmi in ports.

    D-Sub Fora de escala 67.4kHz / 60Hz [Translation-D-Sub Out of range 67.4kHz / 60Hz] (R E S O L V I D O)

    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.

    HDMI AV Cable reboot xbox

    I tried this with my HP 2159m monitor and a Spilnter Cell Conviction 360. No issues. The thin AV adapter is plugged into the AV port and a regular HDMI cable is connected to the HDMI port on the monitor. I can flip to VGA and back to HDMI without causing
    any issues for the 360.
