Xbox to pc monitor using VGA cable

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.

Do you by chance own the Xbox 360 VGA converter cable specifically for plugging your Xbox into your PC monitor? It's a VGA connection but it could be a temporary fix.

Do you have an HDMI cable on your monitor? I'd try using an HDMI cable and seeing if that does the trick. If it does, you could always try using the HDMI to DVI cable on your PC (in fact, you should try using the cable on your PC to see if its the cable
that's not working.)

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 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.

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:

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

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