Xbox 360 on pc monitor.

In the near future i am hopefully going to be buying a new monitor with a VGA input so i can put my 360 on it, i have found this cable on play.com although it does not have the required cables for sound. Does anyone know where i can buy the extra sound cables or have an all in one pack where the sound cables come in with the vga.

Thanks in advance.

you can get a composite (red,white) to audio jack at RadioShack for under $5. then use a double female audio jack to go to a head set or pc speaker system. I don't think vga ever comes in with the sound. That is more what HDMI is good for but it your xbox is older you are out of luck on HDMI. http://www.cablewholesale.com/prodimages/stereo-2f-m-y.jpgBaconB1ts123

That looks as if it should do the trick ill check it out and see if i can get one in the UK, thanks again.

Ok i found the composite to audio jack cable but will i also need one of these?

the official xbox VGA cable comes with an adapter to plug the red and white into. Then you can plug it into speakers or something. I have mine plugged into the audio input on my creative computer speakers. so i think you should be fine.

Edit: I should have looked at the link before posting, thats the same thing that comes with the VGA cables. And I'm pretty sure the F/F adapter you were looking at is mainly to make audio cables longer.

Why not just buy a small HDTV? I know people who use 42"+ HDTVs as their computer monitors. KC_Hokie

anyone tried the 360 on a 19" monitor before? does it automatically scale to 1440x900 or o i go through the menu?

[QUOTE="BaconB1ts123"]The simple answer is: if you are going to plug the audio into a stereo or speakers with red /white audio in then you will be fine with the ones you posted. IF you have to get it plugged into pc speakers or something that takes an audio jack then you need the things I posted. And lastly: if you used HDMI to the monitor, most of those monitors have a audio jack out that you can plug pc speakers right in. I hope that makes sense!brandon2802
