Now there's an idea... using the stepper and swivelling the screen left and right to exercise the arms! :rotfl:

Just a quick pic with my bad quality cameraphone - Madagascar Hi-Def (1280x720) trailer on XBMC going into the LCD via RGB scart (Looks fantastic, can't wait to get a xbox VGA output sorted )

I've found a few options I was going to look into more:

X2VGA adapter
VDigi VD-Z3

Homemade component to vga cable from instructions posted over at xboxscene.


What did you order btw? Easier for the xbox360 as vga is one of its recognised outputs

twe

well what happened last year was my brother bought an lcd screen for his house, and well my plans were to originally get a projector for the garage, and connect the xbox to either of those via component... so i ordered the MS hd component cable via ebay since it has to be imported [not released in this country]... anyway now i am bought a cable that connects to the component [3 phono] and on the other end of the cable is a vga port....

now i have asked at the xs forum and well fingers crossed when i get it in the post... should have it this week....

the 2 that you mentioned are very expensive... seen them for about £45 or so....

Godspeed

Mmmm, projectors are a different kettle of fish, they use d-sub connectors for thier inputs/outputs which are selectable in the projectors menus. Although the lead has component (3xrca's) on one end and a d-sub on the other i'm positive a transcoder is needed to get from component to VGA

example

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and hope the electronics recognises & accepts component input on the d-sub at the rear.
