I have a PAL Xbox 360 and just get black and white picture on the tv in my apartment. I was considering buying a new HDTV but figured these would probably be too expensive.
Is there a way of connecting my Xbox to my laptop so I can view the picture on it's screen?
What about buying a cheap flatscreen computer monitor and using that?

xbox 360 will work on both pal and ntsc tvs

certain games however are one or the other

sorry for being a smart ass but here is a little hint

www.google.com enter the search topic in the little box in the middle of the screen and hit enter

you tried to be a smartass, but failed.

there are different xbox 360s in different regions, the UK one is a PAL version which does not play on a NTSC tv, all you get is a black and white picture.

so thanks for that waste of time.

after 5 mins more reading I apologise, some sets are made dual and others are not.

Have you tried changing the TV settings (mine does both)

and if you want to use your laptop as a screen

(you need a tv card)

looks like I'm going to have to splash out on a small hdtv then unless I can use a monitor to connect. What's cheaper in Yongsan, 24inch (or thereabouts) flatscreen tv or monitor? If I can use a monitor, do they normally have a headphone socket where I can plu my existing speakers into as I'm guessing monitors don't have built in speakers like tv's.
