Are there any good adapters for xbox360 to a monitor? - Page 2

well, thanks for the info, and the non-HD one seems absurd, its the same price as the HD one, rofl. Im getting the HD one if anything. Hopefully it dosen't brake in like 3 months.

No problem. If you do get that Lik-Sang transcoder, tell me how well it works: I don't have it yet.

I'm not worried about performance: I'm just worried about the reliability. Doesn't look very quality to me. If I'll get it, I'll talk. It seems to be the only cheap converter... what does everyone else do? Buy more expensive adapters?

Yes. Many people get the Viewsonic N6. It's a do-all adapter, taking in HD component video, as well as standard definition component, composite, svideo, you name it. It's also got a built-in ntsc tuner for standard-def cable. But that costs $200 MSRP.

Also, are you saying that you don't think the picture's gonna look bad, but you think it's just gonna conk out on you after a couple hours of play? Why would it do that? I dunno, but personally I'd be more scared about image quality than that.

the reviews claimed that the image quality was good if adjusted correctly. But these cheapo chinese/japanese products are cheap and you get what you pay for, which I think will end up with the reliability being poor.

Could be. Well, whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck!

sigh, I'll probably just go the N6 route, since it supports everything, i mean why not, plus its pretty much plug and play.

maybe I can build it into my case somehow....hmm..

There is a guy on the trading post with a benQ adaptor for way less. I would like to have it but im short cash. Take a look.

Yes, but that thing can't take an HD input. I believe it's got svideo, composite, and a built-in NTSC tuner, but no HD. But other than that, it might work great.

I'd personally go with the N6, even though it's more expensive, as it has HD, a return policy, et cetera. Then again, you're not me, so this might be right for you.
