Dos_Box Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I've just brought an Xbox 360! Primarily it's for the kids (they want to play Minecraft), but as a secondary consideration it'll work as a media center and for Netflix etc. And for £43 it was a steal The only problem is, is that it is an original version with no HDMI and I'm going to have it in the office to get it ready for Christmas for them (Judging by the pictures I think it'll need a good clean first!). Anyway, as I've only got one monitor with a VGA port (and there are plenty of Xbox VGA adapters out there). What I would like is an Xbox 360 to HDMI converter, and I can't seem to find one. I think I'm suffering from search term fatigue. Can someone please point me in the right direction

flyinghaggis Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Does your TV have a component input (RGB,LR) as this is the best quality connection your can get on original 360's. Failing that probably best to see if you can do an Amazon search for a VGA/component to HDMI convertor? Edited October 14, 2013 by flyinghaggis

Yeh, my TV has the correct sockets, but my kids don't know I've got this and I'll be working on it in the office, hence the need for HDMI, so I can use my monitors.

Arthur Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Xbox 360 HD AV cable + Component to HDMI converter? Edit. Didn't see flyinghaggis's reply. Edited October 14, 2013 by Arthur
Dos_Box Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 Another option is a Xbox 360 HD AV cable + Component to HDMI converter. That converters £34!!! I think I'll stick with just VGA.
Arthur Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 That converters £34!!! Still cheaper than buying an Xbox 360 with HDMI though (although not by much).
featured_spectre Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 DosBox, you can buy them cheaper than Amazon

Dos_Box Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 TBH guys, I'm not too bothered about HDMI (especially at that price!!). I just needed an interface to connect to a monitor with. I think I'll just go with the £3.59 one from eBay: 1.5M Component HD AV VGA Monitor Cable Lead For XBOX360 | eBay
plexer Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Don't buy it yet. Let me check may have 1 at work. Ben
