hey all, I had tried to connect my xbox360 with my labtop screen with a VGA cable. But it dont seem like working, there is nothing happen in my labtop screen and My labtop has a vga port. Anyone here can help me solve this out?
thx

The laptop vga port is for output signals not the other way around

EDIT: thanks bro string for correcting us

shit..then i cant play it on my laptop...

hhmm
that's not true
i played my xbox with my 15.4" lappie.

all you need is a tv card w composite input or a tv box(usb)

hope that helps


anyway a 19" lcds are selling at RM500+. Maybe its worth investing since a pcmcia tv can easily touch RM300+ and tv box RM200+

dude..what is tv card, what is that? Where can I get it? is it I just needed to tell the shopkeeper that I want tv card with composite input? or tv box usb?

No , the TVbox or tv card will output really undesirable graphics . It's not even HD to begin with , as it takes in as normal TV display aka SDTV . If you really wants the best quality , but at the cheapest price , then the solution is CRT .

Yeap he's right.
xbox graphics wasn't that good so my tv card was good enough
if u wanna fully utilize ur 360 graphics, use these

get a lcd (RM500+ for a 19" wide) or a 2nd hand CRT (RM100+ for 19" and RM200+ for 21")
and
a microsoft vga cable (new one around RM145, second hand one around RM100)

Hope that helps
Cheers

What about those 3rd party VGA cables? Are they any good? I think they sell for around 60....that's quite a bit of savings. But is the quality ok? Is there even any difference??

Many ppl had double vision w the 3rd party cables. If u eventually buy the ori cables instead, it wouldn't be much of a savings

as i know only with 360 vga can play dvd in 720p,1080i or 1080p? have anyone try it look good? i have a lcd hdtv hope it will look good.

where can buy the ori cables?

u can either try getting one from djinn or from bernard.
