Xbox One to VGA monitor

Swishvision · May 30, 2017

Hey guys!

I'm wanting to buy an Xbox One, but at the moment, I only have an HP x20LED monitor that I used for my 360. My concern is the HDMI to VGA conversion. Will the monitor be able to support the Xbox One graphics? And if anyone has done this particular conversion
to this monitor, were there any issues that you faced? Thanks!

:)

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.

Hooking up a Xbox (the new one) to a 1920x1080 monitor

Have you tried maybe using a port-to-VGA input cord ? .

Considering it's a monitor , and not a TV , the VGA input would better suit the xbox and monitor .

There are third-party converters out there that will convert HDMI to VGA. Your monitor should also have a DVI-D input; I suggest you use that one for the best possible picture (and least amount of problems you might encounter with HDCP). Search places like
Amazon or eBay for converters, and check for reviews that especially mention the use of an Xbox One.

I wouldn't expect either of the VGA or DVI adapters to carry audio, so you'll also have to make sure to output your audio with the Xbox One's optical connector, or connect a pair of 3.5mm headphones to your controller.

Hi

Thank you for posting on the Xbox forums.

It's best to simplify the connections from your Xbox 360 console to your display if possible. If you have The Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable, then these are the steps to connect to your monitor:

Connect the A/V connector on the VGA cable to the A/V port on the console.
Connect the VGA connector on the VGA cable to the VGA port on your HDTV or monitor.
Connect the left and right (white and red) audio connectors on the VGA cable to the audio port on the monitor.
Turn on the monitor and console.

Make sure you are also connecting the red and white audio connectors to the monitor.

Hi,

In order to be able to use the Xbox One you will need to use an HDMI cable. If you have a DVI or VGA monitor, you'd need to get yourself a VGA to HDMI adapter, or DVI to HDMI adapter (depending on what type of monitor you own).

There aren't any sort of official wires available, at least not at this point in time. Depending on what your specific monitor uses, that's what you'd need to get as an adapter for the Xbox One to work with that specific monitor.

Personally i wouldn't ask Radioshack.

Use the Xbox 360 VGA High-Definition AV cable to connect the gaming console to a PC monitor. The Xbox 360 VGA cable connects to the PC monitor's VGA port to render HD graphics. The cable is also equipped with standard red and white audio plugs for stereo
connection. Purchase the eight-foot shielded VGA cable directly from Xbox.com. As of February 2011, the Xbox 360 VGA HD AV cable retains for $39.99.

Step 1

Turn off the Xbox 360 and remove the power cord from the back panel of the console.

Step 2

Turn off the monitor and remove its power cord.

Step 3

Plug the VGA end of the connector cable into the VGA port of the monitor.

Step 4

Insert the other end of the cable into the AV port on the back panel of the Xbox 360.

Step 5

Plug the cable's red and white audio connectors into the red and white audio jacks of your stereo equipment.

Step 6

Reconnect the Xbox power cord. Connect the monitor's power cable.

Step 7

Power on the Xbox 360 and the monitor. The Xbox Dashboard will load to the monitor display.

If the 2 inputs on your monitor are DVI (White) and VGA (Blue), Then if your PC has a DVI output, use that input on the monitor and use the VGA cable for the Xbox 360 on the monitor's VGA input.

With sound, you didn't really specify how you're set up for sound with your computer, but if its PC speakers with 3.5mm jacks, it'll need an extra adapter for the VGA cable. But get back to me on that first and then we'll see.
