Thats what i use to hook up my headphones when i play on my LCD

Yes, using the VGA cables to hook up to a CRT or a LCD enables HD.

There is also a Logitech adapter (5 bucks at most) that converts the two RCA (white/red cables) to 5.1 speaker set up, however, the game will not be surround sound, just stereo through all the speakers and a subwoofer.

should cost you about 10 bucks, i got my stuff from radioshack. I couldnt find the Y-cable on the website but im sure they ahve it.

can you play HD if you have a good screen?hjart6

Depending on the monitor yes, but most will look much much better than standard definition. I play on a 22" LCD but it looks pretty good on my old 16" CRT too.

ok so anyway...AWESOME!!!

Finally my precious oblivion gets what it deserves :D lol

so the white and red cables are for the sound? Do you need to connect them even though I have 2 speakers connected to my laptop?ragogt

Laptops usually only have VGA outputs (as far as I know) so that wouldn't work...

hey i want the same thing, to connect my xbox 360 (premium) to my laptop....now my laptop HAS A HDMI PORT and iv looked around for a simple HDMI to HDMI port which i found...but i noticed that there isnt a HDMI port on the back of the xbox (its too big) there is on the elite but not on the premium.

so what cable would i need, or connector, so i can use a normal HDMI to HDMI cable.

Thanks in advanced,

There is a spot for the HDMI cable on the back of the Xbox 360:

You can't hook up a 360 to a laptop. At least, I'm pretty sure of this. I don't know of any laptops that have a video IN which is what would be needed.

OH, and a good place to buy the Xbox 360 VGA cable is from monoprice.com. It's only $10 there. You will also need to get a female to female VGA gender changer if your monitor doesn't have a female VGA input. Hope that makes sense.

ah thanks, didnt see that there is a slot for it above the big slot used with the cable given. OK, so all i need then is a HDMI to HDMI and away i go :D.

(my HD laptop is HP Pavilion dv9860) ...also do you think i would need any software on my laptop, or just connect it up??
