WG 25k5191 Problems (I think it's a U5000)

MonMotha:

You would need to make your XB360 output 480i RGB.  This is probably possible, but I don't know how to set it up that way.  It may only be doable on the European model.

This monitor is only capable of 15kHz scanrate aka standard res.  This means you can display 640x480 only if it's interlaced (which is the "i" in "480i").

Okay so after researching for a good couple of hours I've decided I don't want to get a new monitor. I really don't want to spend $400 on one and have to go through the pains and labor of putting it in my machine.

But I still want to get my 360 to work with my machine and I know it's possible, I'm just confused on how. Every thread or website/tutorial I find seems to be full of already experts on the material at hand. Can anyone describe what I'd need to do in a... dumbed down version? lol

Kevin Mullins:

I'm not positive of the right sequence since I don't fart with a 360 much....but go into System Settings---->Display and see what options for resolution you have and look for the 480i MonMotha mentioned. I think the options might depend on what cable you are using too. (like HDMI versus Composite or whatever go for the low resolution options)
Of course you will still need to hack a cable or find an adapter to physically connect the R G B and Ground up to the monitor or JPAC or whatever.

Really I have no idea.... I'm just babbling.  :lol

EDIT: Maybe this is the right menu sequence - http://www.ehow.com/how_5984230_do-change-resolution-xbox_.html

ZWC11:

Well I was using a VGA cable, and the VGA can't do interlaced, so technically the lowest it could go was 480p...

MonMotha:

The cable will do whatever the video source asks it to do.  Now, the Xbox, on the other hand, may have arbitrary limitations as to what resolution it'll pump out that connector...
