I am at work and will be leaving in a couple hours to get GOW and COD3. Some of you have a lot of knowledge about these things so I figured I would ask here. Do I need special cables or is there a way to just plug it right in?
She has a cheap tv and I think 360 games would look much better on my 19" monitor.

I just think this is a cheaper alternative to buying another HDTV.
 
Oh wow its really that easy?! Thats perfect thank you. I would guess it should look a lot better on my monitor than her regular tv.
Dang 1360 x 768 :dopey:
I will have to figure something out with the sound. Hmm maybe I will hook my other surround sound to her 360 with the optical cord. 2 surround sound systems in the living room with the other 360s and tvs. :lol:
 
You could get a headphone to phono converter and plug it straight into the PC.

Thats another great idea. I will have to look into that too. I have so much electrical crap in my house I am sure I can figure out something. 2 surround sound systems, 5 tvs, 2 computers, 2 xbox360s, 2 PS2's and the list goes on and on. :scared:
I am outta here in 2 hours for my mini vacation. Cant wait!!! :)
 
Thank you for the help. We got it working and she really loved how it looked on the 19" monitor. It doesnt look as good as my HDTV but I messed with the settings and got it close. She also had a set of computer speakers all to herself. :) 👍
 
Is there such a thing as HDMI to DVI?? Because I want to do the same with my 19" LCD when I get a PS3..... or is VGA enough to give an ok picture, I would prefer DVI...
