Xbox One S with fixed resolution DVI Monitor

madman720720 · Apr 20, 2020

EDIT: I'm looking at my DVI-HDMI cable's pinout; it looks like its DVI-D. Do I need some sort of DVI-I to HDMI adapter instead?

EDIT 2: I have done some more extensive searching and found that this monitor only supports the two native resolutions in the attachment (1280x800). It does not support 1080p, 720p or 480p because it cannot upscale the resolution internally. Any cheap solutions
like a converter box or something here?

Hello,

I am trying to connect my Xbox One S to my monitor, but no output is showing. The monitor is a Dell 3007WFP-HC and only has a DVI input. I have a DVI-HDMI adapter, which works when I connect my laptop (HDMI out) to the monitor. I attached my monitor specs.
I know Dual-link is basically out of the question, but any chance I can use it at all, single link? I tried playing with the settings using a TV, but am not sure if theres a setting that's best

:)

Hi there,

based on what you mentioned in EDIT 2, I personally would think that purchasing a different monitor would be the best solution, to prevent any other issues along the way. From what I could find is that the model is over 10 years old (I could be wrong)

use a HDMI cable connect the xbox to the monitor.

You can also use a HDMI to DVI cable as well.

Go into your console settings menu on the Xbox 360 to switch resolutions. The Xbox 360 uses 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p resolutions. If the monitor is not compatible with all resolutions, switch your Xbox 360's resolution to one that is compatible
with your monitor's capabilities. use the audio out on your Xbox 360 to connect to a stereo or other source for sound.

Is it possible to get at least a resolution of 1680x1050 with the composite cable if my monitor only has DVI, VGA, video and s-video input?

Hi there, and thank you for reaching out. My name is Aileen, and I am an independent advisor here to guide you.

It sounds like you're trying to connect your Xbox to a monitor that only has a DVI (digital) input using an HDMI to DVI cable, but you're not getting any signal. Since the Xbox works fine on your TV using HDMI, we know the console itself is working, which helps narrow it down.

Here are a few things to try:

1. Check the cable type:

Make sure your HDMI-to-DVI cable is one-way HDMI out to DVI in. Some adapters or cables are directional and only work one way.

2. No audio on DVI:

DVI only carries video, no sound. So even if you get a picture later, you’ll need to use a headset or optical audio for sound.

3. Use the right DVI port on the monitor:

If your monitor has both DVI-I and DVI-D, make sure you're plugged into the DVI-D (digital only) port.

4. Manually set resolution (optional method):

If your monitor doesn’t support 1080p, your Xbox might be sending a resolution it can’t handle. Try this:

Plug Xbox into your TV

Go to Settings > General > TV & display options

Set the resolution to 720p

Save changes

Then plug the Xbox into your monitor again

5. Still not working?

Some monitors just aren't compatible with HDMI sources through DVI. If none of the steps work, it's likely a limitation of the monitor itself, not the cable or Xbox.

If you're thinking of replacing the monitor, I recommend one with native HDMI input for a more stable and future-proof connection.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.
