Xbox To Dvi How?
« on: September 24, 2006, 11:06:00 PM »
as it says, i want to get my xbox to work on my 19" samsung dvi monitor. i would rather go dvi then vga because it is a better picture overall.

ive found some component to dvi, and i know they make a xbox to component, the only problem is i think the convertor for c to dvi goes the other way so the video wont transfer.

The other thing i found was a dvi to rca female, but i know component is better then rca.

Has anybody tryed this? i really want to get it to dvi if its possible.

thanks

DVI carries two types of signal. TMDS (digital) and/or VGA. The Xbox does not support TMDS (or any other digital video interface), so you're stuck with VGA. DVI with TMDS is called DVI-D, DVI with VGA is called DVI-A and DVI with both is called DVI-I.

The best you can get out of the Xbox is standard component video and VGA. VGA can be used with DVI-devices which support DVI-A or DVI-I. DVI-D is not an option.

No.

You will need a different BIOS or (if softmodded) a differently configured NKPatcher. Also, it will not work on a 1.6/1.6b Xbox.

Way to bump a year old thread with a useless remark about a member who got the BAN!
