Xploder Xbox 360 VGA Cable Guide
Running your Xbox 360 in high definition on a PC monitor is easy with the Xbox 360 - AV/VGA Cable Pack with Optical Input.
Choose console settings from the menu, then display options.
Now you will be able to select an appropriate resolution for your monitor. In my case I select the highest resolution my monitor can display, which is 1280x1024. You’ll notice that there’s quite a variety of resolutions on offer, some for 4:3 displays, some for widescreen.
The Xbox 360 will ask you if you want to keep the setting you have just made.
And there we have it, the Xbox 360 running on my monitor in 1280x1023. So let’s try out a game.
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter, like many Xbox 360 games, prefers a widescreen image to 4:3, so here I make some adjustments with the settings on the monitor.
And there you have it, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter running in 1280x1024 on an my PC monitor. Compared to a regular TV, the detail in the graphics you get when moving up to high-definition really does make a difference – especially when trying to snipe a distant enemy.
