xbox through monitor

the grim gopher · 09-16-2004, 11:26 PM

i just got a 21"Dell Trinitron monitor, and i noticed on the back it has a lot of (what look like) cable-lines, and tv outs (i dont know the proper names). anyway, can i hook my xbox up to my monitor somehow, cuz it wont fit in any of the ports on the back. any help would be greatly appeciated, thanks

also, what kinda resolution would i get on a monitor? is it gonna be decent or really crappy?

Resolution would be extremely good. You need a device called x2vga. It's wonderful. Google it up. I got mine used for 40 but I believe they sell new for like 70. There are other things on ebay that will let you do this but you get ****** resolution. x2vga is the real deal. Only one that gets you the high resolutions.
