Immortaleffectz · 11-01-2008, 8:38 AM

Hi all,

Had a look on the back on my tv last night for a vga socket. I has a pc input that looks like the vga connection.Is this the right one.

If it is a 15pin D-Sub then yes.

But surely your instructions will tell you.

Will have a look. Didnt even know it had a pc socket.

Dude wat TV do you ? have most LCDs have the pc input at the back, its blue female port,same size as com port.

You do need the vga cable ,recommend the office MS one as it comes with the 2 in one audio converter for the PC input, its a little audio in next to the PC input, looks like a headset input.

I do know this though the Picture is better than component.

I have a samsung 40" hd tv with the pc port. Just was not sure it was where i would put the vga lead. As i have the 360 premium and was told the vga is better than comp lead as i dont have a hdmi port on my 360.

cool !

Cheers tariq,

So the pc socket should be where the vga lead goes

thariq · 11-01-2008, 12:27 PM

yes and for sound it should have a little line in port for the sound, you will not get sound through the TV if you dont plug it in here, I have the
Sam 32r88 and the port is right next to the VGA

and No prob mate glad I can help, have you got the VGA cable ?

The 360 VGA cable has the custom AV connection on one end and a standard VGA connection on the other.

Just plug it in to your TV, plug the phono cables into the adapter and then plug the adapter into the audio input linked to your VGA input.

Couldnt be easier.

As Indiana jones said when u get the cable you will see how easy it is
