Hey guys, quick question. I plan to buy XBone (yeah, I know PS4 is better, but I'm a Gears of War fan) and I have only a VGA monitor with external speakers (duh). Will this cable work with it?
>>
>and I have only a VGA monitor
Maybe you should spend that money on something else
>>
God damn VGA still exist ?
>>
>>332669314

Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

assuming you actually speakers that accept rca
>>
>>332669761
>Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work

maybe because the 360 and xbone use different video ports?
>>
>>332669761
it's better to be safe than sorry
>>
>>332669761
>Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work
Because digital and analog aren't the same thing.
>>
Hey you fuckers. I have really shitty job at customer service and I pay horrendous rent. I have no connection or support from my family, so stop judging my VGA monitor, I was collecting money for the console for months, jesus
>>
>>332669982
time to do something with your money other than play video games, like teach yourself something.
>>
>>332669761
thanks dude
>>332669847
So you're saying it may not work?
>>
>>332669314

No, it will not. A passive cable will not convert HDMI digital signals to VGA analog signals.
You need an active converter box.
Now why the fuck do you have an Xbone if you have only a VGA monitor? Does it not even support DVI?
>>
>>332669314
Am I dumb or does that need an external power source to convert digital to analog?
>>
HOw do I use Scart with a composite mono TV?
>>
>>332670153
Yes, there's also a dvi port.

Then use a HDMI to DVI cable. HDMI and DVI-D are pretty much the same standard.

There'll be no audio though. Consider using the optical audio S/PDIF port on the Xbone for that.

>I plan to buy XBone

You need to set your priorities straight. First get a job, then buy a fucking HDTV.

It's two thousand fucking sixteen. Who the fuck doesn't own a hdtv or a monitor with hdmi port?
>>
>>332670529
Something like this.
http://www.amazon.com/Scart-Composite-S-Video-Audio-Adapter/dp/B006RBMJ46

But you aren't gonna get RGB quality out of it whatsoever if it's all just funneling into composite.
>>
Don't but that shit op. Two completely different technologies. You need a decoder/encoder (think of a box).This won't be cheap. In theory you could build your own, but I've only worked with VGA so I am not sure about the HDMI transmission protocols. I'd try and get a cheap TV, you could maybe get a second hand one for cheap.

My monitor has both vga and hdmi connectors. Is there really an improvement from using hdmi?

>dont judge me I have a shitty job and am poor just make this work
>>
>>332671224

Yes, there's no crosstalk.
>>
>>332669314
this cable wouldnt work at all
it only work if the system can output analog video thru hdmi, which the xbone dont.

Haha OP here. You make a point. My monitor ain't shitty, it's 24", but I dunno, in my country almost all the monitors have VGA and DVI only
>>
>tfw built PC with hard workind money
>didn't have money for a better monitor so I'm still using a 1366x768 VGA monitor

I feel your pain OP
>>
>>332670980
You da real mvp dude. However, how do I connect my speakers through this S/PDIF thingy?
>>
>>332669594
I use VGA. A lot more people use VGA than DVI I bet.

It's the little thing between the two HDMIs.
You'll need a converter box for it, if your speakers don't support S/PDIF.
>>
>>332670118
VGA is analog. HDMI is digital. You'd need a box to convert the signal. Just because cables match doesn't mean they get the job done.
>>
>>332669314
As someone that's tried adapters in the past, I bet you're gonna have some graphical glitches. Save yourself the headache and buy a $100 23" tv like the refurbed PS TV(not to be confused with the PSTV).
>>
>>332672358
You Americans have it so easy... "just buy a TV for mere 100$!". I prefer not to say where I'm from, but 100$ is 1/4 of my monthly pay, and i pay half of my pay for rent monthly, so yeah...

And how much exactly is an Xbone?

Fellow beaner here, I can confirm the base salary is absolutely shit, had to work my ass off for a few years to get a decent paying job
>>

Thanks.
And then Nintendon't complains about low sales, when 3ds is motherfucking 5k, and that's just for the fucking console, while wii u is 7k.
Fuck that shit, I am emulating, a 970 will emulate everything up to now instead of just a wii u which you have to pirate.

Yeah, I'm also a fellow beaner. Hello.

I have no fucking idea. I am the poorfag but I already have hdmi inputs in my tvs, and my old tv I just use with the 360 with the yellow red and white cables, not that thing you ask.
