So i've just bought a VGA to HDMI cable so that I can use my PC monitor
instead of using my tv for playing on xbox. BUT it does not seem to work at all.
nothing happens when I plug in the cable

Any suggestions on how to make it work or ?

I would check that the resolution and refresh rate (Hz) of your monitor match the ones in your xbox. So plug it back into your tv, change the settings to fit your monitor and plug it back in.

thanks blue, i'll try that out!

Edit* not really sure how to lol..

maybe check System settings -> Console settings -> Display settings
and see if you find any settings that might match the monitor better there.

720p didn't work, nor 1080i, 1080p

Edit* the 480p didn't work either, guess the cable is ****...

make sure the monitor is powered/plugged in

Also remember the refresh rate is imporant as well! (I think...)

my pc monitor can't go lower than 60 Hz, my tv is showing 50 Hz on all options :d

So bad, your monitor doesn't have HDMI, then a cheap HDMI would've been easier instead an adapter.
