Converting Xbox 360 HD Component Cable To VGA

If you’re without an HDTV but possess a decent LCD computer display, using it could prove better for gaming. To do so, one must either purchase a VGA cable (I recommend searching for one other that the Xbox branded one, they are overpiced) or convert their Xbox standard video cable to a VGA one. Endgadget has a write-up on how the conversion is done, mentioning that it only costs around $7 bucks.

My Television…

In case you’re wondering what I’m gaming on, here is my televison set. It’s a 27″ Sanyo flat screen featuring:

Component, S-Video and Front & Rear A/V Inputs
True Flat Screen for Superior Picture
MTS/SAP Stereo Front Surround Sound
Aspect Ratio Selection: (16:9 or 4:3)

I’m plugged in with the HD AV Component cable that came in the premium box.
