Sorry if my question is out-of-topic.

Anyone use their xbox1 on a LCD monitor? HOW? PLS REPLY ASAP. WHAT TV-converter are u using and hows the quality????

maybe u can try this: XCM 1080p VGA box
i haven't tried it myself, i'm using 720p component direct LCD TV for my xbox1. but from the specs & comments on PA, looks like it'll work better than those normal VGA box.

i wonder if anyone can help to explain if it is possible to connect xbox to PC using wireless lan? let's say the router is connected to the PC and the xbox is in another room, how do i go about it? my main reason is to watch movies from the PC on xbox.
thanks

As long as you have your PC and 360 on the same network, it'll work.

Get another RJ-45 cable modem, then connect one end to your router, and the other end to the XBOX. But in your case, you are saying the XBOX is in the other room, so your best bet is to get a wireless homeplug.

It simply uses the wiring cables in your house, as an internet medium, to transfer internet date through the cables from the router to the XBOX in the other room. But this method is expensive. You need 2 pairs of homeplug, and they are retailed at around rm300

OR you need a wireless bridge, quite expensive as well
A pair of these will do, one connected to the router, the other one connected to your Xbox.

It can be done. But depends on your settings. You want to stream HD media or install HD media onto XBMC?

both, but stream is better...

anyway, what i've done currently is convert HD movies to mp4 and copy to the xbox's HDD.. but still sometimes frame gut stutter.. even i set hdd cache to 0..

or is there a tool that can convert specifically to xbmc?

xbox1 processing capabilities just not powerful enough for most h.264 or avc1 video. if you really have the time to convert, then better to convert to xvid and higher bitrate while maintaining same resolution.

my suggestion is better to get a cheapo dual core cpu and mid range GC. might cost almost 1k but you wouldn't need to waste time anymore to convert few hours just to watch half an hour show.

for your xbox: cannot. if you plug and on it, you would have a smoking xbox. have to use transformer.

for your 360: you bought a 240v power brick? then you can use it with your 360, no need transformer.
