| 423233 | 2006-01-22 23:12:00 | Hi Everyone I just wanted to know if it is possible to play my xbox on my PC LCD screen? If it is possible, what do I need to get and what do I need to do? Do i need a video capture card and a sound card to get the audio jacks Or is there another way I can do this? Thanks in advance! |

| 423234 | 2006-01-23 04:21:00 | You just need a video capture card & some software (whatever comes with your card will probably work). onboard sound is fine. I know it is possible because my friend used to have his XBox set up like that when he was in a hall at Otago (those rooms were so small there wasn't enough room for both a computer and a TV) |

| 423235 | 2006-01-23 11:03:00 | if your LCD moniter has a VGA in port on it (as opposed to being hardwired into the screen) you ought to be able to get an adaptor so your xbox outputs vga and then its a matter of plugging it in and hoping for the best | Mirddes (10) | ||
| 423236 | 2006-01-23 18:51:00 | Yes it is, I've used my Winfast XP TV Tuner/Capture card heaps of times and it works like a charm. Once you have the cables plugged in, start the video capture program and select the input source. That should give you a good picture and you should be able to change it to full screen by double clicking the window or by pressing ATL+ENTER Hope that helps. cheers chiefnz |

| 423237 | 2006-01-23 21:00:00 | Have you thought about a simple KVM switch, keyboard, video, mouse? Just don't use the keyboard mouse. You'll need one that supports a physical switch, in other words use without a hotkey. Nicer KVM switches will handle sound also. |

| 423238 | 2006-01-23 22:51:00 | thanks for all the replies Does a KVM switch connect/compatible with the xbox cables? I was thinking of trying a video capture card. does anyone know a good card to use? not too expensive. Thanks |

| 423239 | 2006-01-23 23:05:00 | Since there's a "Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable", I'd guess it'd be pretty straight forward with a KVM. www.xbox.com www.xbox.com |

| 423240 | 2006-01-23 23:12:00 | I don't think we are talking about a 360. Early adopters of the 360 obviously have plenty of money so will probably already have a good TV. That, and the 360 hasn't been released here yet Does the 360 hd output a VGA signal? I know it isn't going to be as good as the ps3 (dual DVI signals) but I expected them to think the same way as Sony & have the HD signal digital only. |

| 423241 | 2006-01-23 23:57:00 | Oh Yeah... I was talking about the old Xbox console. Not the 360. I can't afford that. If I could I would be playing it |

| 423242 | 2006-01-24 01:13:00 | Yes!, I do exactly that, play my Xbox through my 19" LCD Screen, makes the graphics look MUCH nicer. You don't need a PC at all, just get one of these: www.pbtech.co.nz Allows you to output RCA to VGA, without the need for a PC. |
