Xbox on LCD through VGA

[EnderXC]

Ok, so I have a nice Samsung 17, 500:1, 12ms LCD and I want to hook up my XBox, BUT I want something that can be used with Xbox 2 so what's a no lag piece of hardware that take composite and puts it on VGA? Thanks.

I believe Xbox2 will have VGA support out of the box.

Also, you can make your own Xbox to VGA cable.

or you can just get a X2VGA

Xbox 2 will ahve VGA I believe.

Also, the gamecube2 I know has a PC monitor connector, whether its VGA or DVI im not sure, but there will probably be a converter for it (DVI to VGA and vice versa)

does this trick mean that i could use it with a non modded xbox, and not have an old tv to play the xbox on??

Correct. You do NOT need a modded Xbox to use the modded cable. Also, you do NOT need a TV if you use the modded cable, you would be hooking it up to a monitor.

but is your LCD on this list? http://playstation2-linux.com/sog.php

Xbox2 VGA support is a rumor. I think DVI is more likely, given how most monitors have DVI, and most, if not all, HDTVs have DVI.

Like everyone's said, X2VGA is your best bet.
