Answer» Greetings CH!
I recently moved into a new building and do not own a Television. I still had my Old Original XBOX which i know works perfectly fine because i was playing some good old Forza motorsport the other day when still at my parents. So i decided i should try and get this XBox working on a VGA monitor.
So i bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-PC-VGA-to-AV-RCA-TV-Monitor-S-video-Signal-Adapter-Converter-Switch-Box-CR-/281418924395?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123
Now i know it says VGA to RCA and when i connected my macbook to the Tv the colors where in back and white and color was horrible. But i cannot for the love of God get it to connect my XBox from RCA to my Computer monitor to VGA. ive seen videos on youtube with people acomplishing this. why cant i?
Is this device defective or can it just not do RCA to VGA? i cant tell. ive contacted the seller last NIGHT but still no avail.
Let me know thanksAs you said, it's "VGA to AV", what you need is an "AV to VGA" converter. These devices are usually one way only unless you explicitly buy one that supports both.Thats just it. Ive been looking at similar ones on Ebay and they dont really give that much info.. This one specifically shows to the tv. but it was just a terrible connection.. The device you have needs to be setup properly. When the colors are bad, you have the wrong setting. I tried playing with the settings and went from Black and white to color but the color was really pinkish. It was a joke. From eBay:

A number of vendors sell these. I got one and it took me over week to understand it. But I am slow to learn. Whatever you do, do not select Chinese as the language. In the USA and other areas you must use NTSC. Most of Europe is PAL.
