thanks tidus 2k..

but the hdmi and the component cable seems to tight la.. will it spoil ah??

Well, u have to crack open the casing (the component cable). It is the cheapest solution anyway.

p/s: If you have done this already, sometime it seems a little bit tight. but it should be no problem.

if my xbox dont have hdmi port how le?

Then you are stuck with VGA, but it isn't bad at all TBH

crap, so even getting a monitor with HDMI output is useless right?

Let me get this straight here...if i have a TV with HDMI output, i just only need to plug in the HDMI right? donthave to worry about the sounds? right?

the sound will come out from ur crappy tv speaker lo..

how about the image quality with the following
1) VGA cable
2) HDMI to DVI cable.

i m using HDMI to DVI cable..
graphic is fine for me...
look nice...
but i nvr vga cable b4...

Anyone have comparison on HDMI to DVI cable and VGA?

hi bro, if i want to the sound from my amplifier, how do i do that? after i connect the hdmi cable, the place too tight for audio connection already

thanks.

you gotta split open the component cable and slot audio from there

thats what i have read and heard from other places other than LYN

got the answer already, same as what Jcsy mentioned. p/s: in the picture in my previous post, can you see the shiny thing beside the hdmi cable? that's the component cable without the casing.

yup i saw that diagram

thus if i wanted 2 connect my xbox 360 to my lcd monitor

i would need a hdmi cable > dvi adapter and send that into my lcd monitor

i would need a "fill in the blanks" for the audio from the component cable?

bro, how do you actually get it to open? cutting it thru?

how abt this cable

I asked before from bernard, the cable itself is about 100+, at that time thought that it's a little too much for a cable. I am using the HDMI port, and I just managed to open up the component cable. Trying on the sound right now.

Btw, wanted to ask, previously I was using the output from my LCD to my Hifi to get the sound, and I notice that when those games that have that have vocal, the voices are quite difficult to be heard, esp games like GHWT. Could this be because of the output from my LCD to hifi?

if we can get video, how do we get audio from the component cable?

possible without using the hdmi cable

eg : vga to lcd monitor
white & red audio to speakers ?

i use a screwdriver to force through the casing of the cable.
