Posted: Sat Jan 16, 10 8:03 pmI just wasn't sure if there was a difference. I'm just trying to balance size and cost really. I can get decent sized monitor for between £75-100, currently Im going for: http://accessories.euro.dell.com/sna/pr ... sku=213281
does anyone here know anything about the connecter cables needed to make it work? You lot already know how fail I am with computers, so I was hoping you lot had the answer before I showed the wider worlds my idiocy.

This one right here.
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 12:50 pmDo I need one of those if Im connecting my laptop to an external monitor for delicious dual screens?
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 1:05 pmDepends whether you want to use VGA or DVI (for the laptop)
DVI is the white connection, VGA is the blue.
Pics would help.

Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 1:10 pmMy port is black LOL. Though it has 15 pin holes like the picture. Also on my specs it says it has 1 VGA ouput and no DVI output so Im assuming its a VGA output.
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 1:17 pmYeah, it is.
But back to the 360, you need an official AV adapter (DON'T get the Mad Catz one or you will experience ghosting).

Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 4:40 pmYes, but not for the stupid AV connector of the Xbox.
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 4:59 pmCool.
However, another question, is it worth saving £40 and getting a preowned xbox?

Xbox's are unreliable, but my mate has a pre-owned one and his hasn't broke. I have my Xbox connected to my monitor, the only problem I found is that if you use headphones for your Xbox then it's damn quiet. I also use one of these weird boxes with a switch on it allowing you to switch between the PC screen and the Xbox one.
Kinda pointless post but I wanted to sound cool 'cuz my Xbox is connected to my monitor. (H)
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 6:41 pmYeah monitor is definitely the best for 360, upscaling is heeeeeeeng with bad TVs.
Posted: Sun Jan 17, 10 7:14 pmAlso if anyone can find/knows of a better deal than the Dell Im getting (currently getting it at ebuyer.com for £94.98 free delivery), or a better model/cheaper for money, let me know
