Xbox 360 On Two Monitors

I have two monitors connected to two PCs, they both have a second HDMI input which would support a console.

I'm wondering would it be possible to have an Xbox 360 plugged into both monitors and be able to use both at the same time.
Also, if I were playing a split-screen game like Call of Duty, would it be possible to have one players view on one monitor and the other's on the second monitor?

Thanks! :)

You could use both at the same time just using a splitter, however the same image will always be on both screens.

Yes, and it is impossible to configure the 360 in any way to use the screens separately for different purposes. I'm not even sure if the console will even let you use both screens, even though they might produce the same image

Wouldn't what Jason wants to do be possible using this? seeing as it splits a single feed into two seperate monitors?

But who knows about compatibility. I did a bit of Googling with terms like "DualHead2Go Xbox" and "DualHead2Go console" with no real results..

Hmmm, that's interesting for sure. But what that device does would take a single video input and stretch it across two screens. I suppose if you were playing a game with vertical split screen it would have each player on separate screens, however the aspect ration would be way off. Also I do not think you could use the XBox with this device in particular because it only supports 1920x1200 resolution which the XBox cannot output.

Can you stop making unjustified (incorrect claims)?

this is the second thread in 5 minutes that i have found of yours that is wrong. Of course you can use a vga splitter to either extend or duplicate the xbox output (encrypted or not).

That seems very interesting, I think it's definitely worth trying!
