Does anyone hook up their gaming system to a computer?
I just wondering how because my Tv in only like 19'' in and I hate playing my xbox on it. So I was trying to hooked up to my desktop display.
If you can help please do. Please and thank you. |
Or he could just buy the Xbox 360 VGA cable set, assuming he's talking about a 360.
|
Well I have a gateway laptop to could I use that instead of my desktop dispaly?
|
Best course of action: Order the VGA cable set for your Xbox 360. The Xbox 360s don't come with these cables because so few people actually use them. and they can make money off of selling them to people who do want to use them
If it's a PS3, replace "Xbox 360" in my post with "PS3". If it's a Wii, you might be hosed, depending on what kind of inputs your desktop display takes. It'd help us if you gave us the model name of your desktop display, so we know what video ports it has. And laptops will not work because they are only designed to send video OUT their ports, not receive them. |
As others have said, you should get the VGA cables. You'll probably need to disconnect the desktop from the monitor first.
|
And to answer your question about using your laptop's display, no, you can't. The VGA port on your laptop is only an output.
|
Alternatively, if you were to buy a new screen in the future, ensure that it has HDMI, so that you can plug the console directly into it. It's not a solution for your current situation, but just keep that in mind.
