My friend does that but I don't know how he does it I'm afraid. So I know it is possible.

Most Pc screen have no HDMI Input, but VGA so you need to have the VGA cable...in the elite version it is included i dont know if it is in the others versions...if your Screen has more than one input you can switch between xbox and pc....Like HDMI also VGA can reproduce the 1080p (highest resolution) signal...so check out what input your screen has.. biggrin.gif

Forgot to mention that!

If your monitor uses VGA then you'll need this.

Aslong as you get a xbox and monitor that both have HDMI connectors, then it's no problem. I use my xbox on both my monitor and TV.

Or you can use the VGA-kit in the url a few posts up smile.gif
