If i need to buy anything how much would it cost thanks peoples! THIS IS TO PLAY GAMES ON MY MONITOR NOT TO CONNECT TO WIFI...

Answer
you can't, it only has video outs, not video ins, as it would not need to have them as the monitor is the computer. Only if the computer and monitor are separate, which they are not. And if you had a different monitor you wish to use, you would need a Xbox 360 VGA cable.

xbox 360 through monitor?

Heyy

Hi,

I heard you can play your xbox 360 through your computer monitor. Does this mean that the xbox games will be in hd even if you dont have an hd xbox or not? My monitor is 1080p hd and desktop is pretty good aswell

Answer
Every Xbox 360 is capable of displaying HD video. Some Xbox's have an HDMI port, and some do not.

If your monitor supports HDMI input, and you have a recent Xbox 360 that has an HDMI port, then use an HDMI cable to connect the Xbox 360 to your monitor. This cable will carry the video and sound to the monitor. If your monitor does not have speakers, or a headphone port, then your sound might get lost in the monitor.

If your monitor doesn't support HDMI or if your Xbox 360 does not have an HDMI port on it, then you would have to use a VGA cable which Microsoft sells: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/hardware/x/xbox360vgahdcable/. This cable has a VGA connector which will send the video to your monitor. There are also two audio connectors which you can plug into your speakers or headphone (via adapter).

If you already have a computer connected to this monitor, you may have to unplug the computer from the monitor to be able to plug the Xbox 360 into the monitor. Some monitors have multiple inputs that would let you have both connected at the same time.

Hope that helps.

How do you hook up an Xbox 360 to a computer monitor through hdmi?

me

I have an ASUS monitor with an hdmi port. My Xbox 360 is plugged into the monitor with this hdmi cable, and plugged into the power supply. When I turn on the monitor and the Xbox, the monitor says "out of range". What do I do?
Yes, the Xbox is the only thing plugged into the monitor besides the power cable. The screen reads "out of range" when both the monitor and Xbox are turned on.

Answer
I'm not sure why your monitor is saying "out of range", but I have a couple guesses. One thing I am certain about is "Xbox is putting out component video on it's HDMI port" is not possible. HDMI is a very specific protocol of digital signals, while Component is composed of very incompatible analog signals - any HDMI port putting out a Component signal is HIGHLY DEFECTIVE.
What I think it could be: You didn't mention model # of your Asus, but some have multiple inputs, just like TVs. Are you on the correct one? If that's not it, then -
On the Settings/Setup button/s and on-screen menu, is there a way to change resolution? I couldn't find a reference online to this problem with XBox 360, but several discussions of PS3 "out of range" issues on Asus monitors had to do with game settings of 1920X1200 instead of 1920X1080 - can this be your issue? See if you can pick another setting. Here is one discussion that leads me to these conclusions (see about 2/3 down the page reference to Asus 24"):

If none of this fixes your issue, write back with Additional Details of what you did and what results you got, and we'll go from there, OK? Good luck!
