Use your Xbox 360 with your PC monitor

This simple guide gives you everything you need to be able to play Xbox 360, full screen, in full HD without having to even by a new TV.

This is my set up:

  • Xbox 360 Premium (got it for free of course) seen here
  • A DVI to VGA cable (also free) seen here
  • A Hifi with an input but this could just be your PC speakers
  • A VGA and audio two way switch seen here
  • A 24″ 1900×1200 monitor (also free) seen here

Basically you have to buy the new AV cable for the xbox 360. This can be then plugged into the vga/audio switch. You also plug the monitor cable and sound cables from your computer into it. The output of the vga/audio switch go into the 24″ monitor and the speakers you have. To change from PC to xbox all you have to do is simply flick a switch. It also changes the audio input from PC to xbox!
