I am playing my Xbox 360 console through my PC monitor. I am connecting it via the official Microsoft Xbox 360 VGA cable. My question is, is this method high definition? Am I getting my video and games in HD? Thanks a lot.
Yeah, depending on your monitor resolution. It might be at low resolution by default. Go to your last 360 slide and go to console and find video and screen resolution
yes and looks quite good too. many people play their 360 on a computer monitor because it is the cheapest way to get high defenition for the 360. i wish the ps3 had a similar solution.

I'm pretty sure a third party developer will make one. I play my 360 on my monitor and the only problem is you're sitting close, but the resolution isn't any sharper than an HD( on my monitor) so it looks blurrier than an HD tv and the colors aren't quite as crisp. Although, there are a few things you can do to help the colors
i dont know what the guy above me is talking about. unless he is talking about the occasional spot in a game where i see alot of wierd blurry spot from certain angles. but for the most part if you put money into a decent monitor you can get your images in at least 720. i compared my monitor image to my dads hd tv and it doesnt look my different. although on a monitor it seems to always be darker than on a tv.
I have a tv/monitor combo. The tv has all regular hook ups including HDMI. I wanted to get 1080p. So i researched it. The VGA on my tv is basically 1080p. If i max the resolution to the tv.It all depends on the monitor you have.

You type like a robot, no offense at all, really, it's kinda funny how you had to include "console" at the end of "xbox 360". Just thought that was slightly humorous. Anyway, it depends on the monitor. I doubt my monitor would do it, but for just around $200 you can get a nice, big monitor that can do upper-end HD.
360 over VGA on a good monitor can look a lot better than the average "HDTV". TC, if you couldn't notice the difference between playing on an SDTV and over VGA on your monitor, you must be doing something wrong and therefore had to ask this question:P
I am using a VGA cable to connect to my basic ACER LCD monitor but I also have a budget HD tube TV. The HDTV set up looks better than the monitor. I"m not sure why because the monitor has a higher resolution but it probably has something to do with the 360 not being able to output a signal exactly the same as the monitor's native res, so it is more blurry.
