VGA Cable..?

[Krayzie]

Hello guys,

I've got a Acer Travelmate 2303WLMi with a 15.4" WXGA WIDE TFT LCD screen.

If I get a Xbox 360 VGA cable will I be able to display HD on my laptop from my Xbox 360 using the VGA cable?
Is it plug and play?
What does it display?

i think it will work for a laptop but damnit would suck so bad plus were are you going to get the sound from?

Why would it suck so bad? can I use my laptop speakers?

Q. What about my laptop? Can I plug the Xbox 360 into my laptop and use its screen?

A. No, you cannot plug the Xbox 360 into a laptop and use the screen. If you’re laptop has a video input, you can plug the composite cable from the Xbox 360 into it and view it, but it will not be in high definition making it likely worse than even a moderately sized standard television.


so thats a no.

I play on a 21 inch CRT PC monitor using the VGA monitor its good in HD and worth using over a bigger SDTV

A laptop would not work, the vga on a laptop is output only. At least all laptops I know of are.

So it wouldn't work?

It wouldn't make a difference in picture quality anyways, the screen is too small.

[Krayzie]

Will it work, yes or no?

[steveie]

NO like i have quoted and joseph has said

[Krayzie]
