do they make these?
« on: November 01, 2006, 10:28:01 AM »
I was wondering if they make crt monitors with a vga input (like flat monitors) so i can use an xbox 360 vga cable to view games at 720p mode. I tried a froogle search and it came up with some cheap monitors. here are the addresses to the sites for the three monitors:

Well, obviously, you can get CRT monitors with VGA connectors.  The links you provided clearly show that.  I'm not familiar with xbox.  Perhaps I'm missing the point of your question.

i'm trying to ask if these monitors have an actual input where i can plug a seperate plug into (which is a vga plug) because they make a cable that plugs in to the xbox and has a vga plug at the end so that i can plug it into a monitor with a vga input (not the kind that have the cord attached to them either)

I'm still quite sure I understand this, but I get the impression you could connect a CRT monitor with standard VGA cable if you had an adapter.  If not, then I have no clue.  Someone will probably be able to help you with this, so stay tuned.

my xbox can plug into a vga input (with the special vga cord), but i'll need a type of monitor that has the vga input.

What i'm saying is that i've never seen a monitor with an exposed input on it (to plug something into it)

this monitor has an actual spot to plug in the xbox right? not just a cord hanging from it like all the others i've seen? that's what i mean.
