    Ok guys. I have the 360 VGA cable. Thing is, my LCD monitor is one of them that first came out... it has no INPUTS.. only the power cord and a long cord for VGA out that plugs into my TOWER. Is there anyway possible to get this to work??

    Heres a pic of the back of my monitor.

    you probably need to get a vga gender adapter and plug that end in the cable coming out of the monitor and the other end into the xbox vga cable.

    The LCD is digital too, it just has a dedicated input,....just get a splitter and plug it up.

    Radio Shack guy doesn't know what he's talking about. If you have an adapter for VGA, it converts the signal to analog. I hate Radio Shack guy.

    Seconded.

    If you have bought the VGA adapter for the 360, it is outputting a genuine analog VGA signal, which you should be able to plug into any VGA monitor.

    The gender-changer should work fine.

    This is in fact how I get my signal from my 360 to my ceiling-mounted HD projector - I already had a long 30' VGA cable, I got the 360 VGA cable, used a gender-changer, and wham, perfect HD signal.
