budget scart monitor?

[rvdbarnes]

Hi all

The massive old monitor is on its way now. And this is what i want.

A 15 - 17" flat, wall mountable monitor

that has a scart socket or something?

Basically i want a flat monitor that i can use for both the pc and 360?
can anyone recommend a cheap one for me?

why not use the VGA connector for the 360? it will give a much superior picture?

How does that work mate? sounds a bit dim of me but is it a converter/adaptor i already have in the 360 box?

you just buy the VGA lead for the 360 (sod at GAME etc) and monitor ideally with DVi for PC and VGA for 360 (or you have to swop cables over all the time) http://www.dabs.com/productview.asp...ationKey=11109,44990000,42940000&v=2#infoarea

No DVi input or input select so you have swop cables and its small 4:3 ot widescreen.

ahhh well spotted, so im after one with both VGA and DVI with input select.
Id prefer black too!!

lets see what i can find

Or buy any monitor you like and get a cheap VGA switch off Ebay.

 

[semiskimmed]

yeah, you will need dvi and VGA on it.
dvi-PC
VGA-xbox 360

have a look on overclockers uk as they have some widescreen tft's for about £130ish iirc
