My screen was purchased in 06.. And it reads.. Dual Analog And DVI Inputs, Plug and Play, VESA Mount Compatible, And its a TFT LCD Flat Panel...

IM not sure about the VGA output, But im sure thats where the blue thing connects...

Thanks In Advance.

Edit:

Im unsure of the high definition aspect. Does my Monitor need to be High Definition? How do I tell? And will my Video card play a role in this?

It looks A OK to me...but, I'd wait for someone a little more tech savvy to answer this for ya.

You'll need an Xbox 360 VGA adaptor, which of course are specially made so that no other VGA adaptor will work, so that microsoft can bleed you dry of money.

Yes, it's that one you linked. :3

Your monitor should be fine, you High definition is monitor resolution.


You're probably running in 1280x1028 aren't you? That's known as "720P" Or "720I".

Computer monitors have had "HD" much longer than TVs, you'll be very hard pressed to find a monitor which doesn't support anything above 800x600.

VGA is normally coloured blue. DVI is normally coloured white.

If you only have DVI supported like my monitor, you'll need another adapter. Which is a DVI to VGA adapter, which are normally quite cheap.
