Cheers.

 

The 360 to HDTV/PC cable is a VGA, but if you can get a VGA to DVI adapter, I should assume so.

 

Does such a thing exsist, things have come on leaps and bounds since i was last into this type of thing.

 

£25 from Game.

I've got a VGA (or 12) to DVI should you want one.

 

Ok, thanks alot,

 

Something thats just come to mind, does that cable reduce picture quality at all.

 

Nope. And I'm running mine on a 19" TFT made for PC use.

 

Thanks again mate, cheers.

 

I'm guessing this can be done with the 22" version and a PS3 also?

 

Yeah thats what i thought going off ebuyers page regarding the 22inch, confusing thing is though the 20inch is the same spec is it not, or am i missing something.

 

They will be, 22" has the same pixels but is just slightly stretched, and slightly more expensive. Some people argue the colour reproduction is worse because of the technology used but I've never noticed it at all. (I have a 22" Samsung). I was going to get a 20" because I'd been told it was better but after seeing a 22" it was better for me, being able to see DVDs and stuff from the other side of my room clearer and so on.

It comes down to your choice really, you can't go wrong either way as Samsung's are very good.

 

That Samsung has a VGA (D-Sub) in so you shouldn't even need a special cable. A PS3 would be slightly different because IIRC it only had HDMI out, so you would need a converter to convert it to DVI and audio.
