Hi.
For christmas I received a Veiwsonic 20'' Widescreen Computer Monitor. It has 2 inputs, a VGA input, and a DVI input. I am currently using a VGA input because that is all that my computer supports.
i have read other threads on Xbox on Pc Monitor ect, and they basically go over buying either a TV tuner with av inputs or getting the official Xbox VGA adaptor.
I was hoping to go a slightly different approach, but I need feedback on how it will work or if it even will work.
Is there a way, with the extra DVI cable and input I have on my monitor, I could get a adaptor type mechanism to go from DVI to some RCA/AV inputs? I breifly searched the internet and the closest I could find was this:
There are other things like that out there of the sort, but I didn't know if this would accept basic Yellow White Red cables.
The reason I don't want to buy the VGA to Xbox adaptor is because that limits you to just for that system, and if I could get someone that would allow me to hook up any kind of system with those basic RCA cables, it would be more usefull (I plan on buying a Wii as well soon).
Then I also have heard that the VGA/DVI cables can't support an Audio, which makes sense. My monitor has speakers on it which I don't use. Would it be possible for me to get a RCA audio to 3.5mm to convert the sound from the games?
Any help/feedback would be awesome. Thanks.
