The resolutions there are what are seen with X-Box 360 games. But since you are connecting a pc not gaming system your desktop settings control the 800x600. That just shows that higher then that can be set for display like 1024x768 or 1280x1024. Different X-Box games would otherwise decide which resolution is seen according to the game's own design and settings for it.
OK. Thank you. So if I bought an Xbox screen with RCA ports, bought an VGA to RCA adapter, I would be able to took the screen up, be able to run games, ect?
Thanks for all your help PC.
So lets see this is what I would need:
QUALITY VGA to RCA adapter (gold or silver pins?)
Xbox/xbox 360 screen (either will work correct? RCA both rite)
and I just plug it in and blam! it works?
You won't a cheapie adapter to say the least since gold is generally the best to start with there. You want quality conduction of signal there. For the display the best idea is to first ask someone who has actually used one for pc application or look into the Microsoft product information availble for some verification before spending on it.
With the correct adapter type it should be a simple plug'n'play however. You just want to know how well it will work out for you there.

That would be a thought if the call is free for you there. That's one source that should(we wonder some times hmmm...
) be able to answer that on the spot since it's their product. You know already that there's no problem running things at a higher resolution for the 360 games or dvd playback.

Well right now your my expert. Seriously
. Well I'll call them this week... if I can get one of their reps on..It would still be curious to see what some operator at MS has to say on this while a good and correct adapter should see that work for you. Other small lcds saw prices you didn't want to consider when looking around. Personal security lcds and others saw prices climbing up over $200!
Regular desktop lcd monitors generally see and ac to 12v wall adapter where the portable power source does go higher for the price. But since that while being a small display is already suited for gaming and multimedia I would talk their ears off a little to see what they have to say.

True, but it's HUGGEEE and I can't really find ones with 12V that are cheap, if at all. So according to you, it SHOULD work right?
What is the diff between the Xbox and Xbox 360 screens anyways?
The original X-Box display was limited to just that signal coming from the gaming unit since it was designed for that alone. With the 260 now seeing dvds instead of the old type of game cartridge is was then based on a more standard format seen with dvd players for tv and even pc as well.
Naturally support for at least the 640x480 resolution and higher came with it. The old systems only supported low ends of the scale compated to the much higher seen on HD TV as well as pc. The 360 still won't be the best for pc but allow the portable gaming application you have planned there. The regular desktop lcd? car battery... blah blah blah and so forth.

But an car battery would probably end the "portability" part
Soo...
The 360 might be better since it has been made to accept DVD signals?
Yeah, same here. I put in Xbox for PC screen, I come up with the exact opposite. I might call MS today.
This is why I initially frowned when you first pointed the one you were looking for 360. Using tv screens as pc monitors and connecting gaming consoles to crts or larger pcd models is found all over. And that was also one reason for the idea on using a laptop's replacement display for a custom setup.
I combined search engines with different variations of the search terms to still get nowhere for any good reference. As for the $149.99 price on the 260 model did you only look at one place or shop around some? The screen for the original would be out since that lacks the support for a variety of things like dvd playback for one. That was replaced by the more pc viable 360 system.

Hmm, but the regular xbox screen would work?
The 360 is the one that is dvd friendly with the newer format there. That's why people went crazy trying to be first in line when that first came out. The original X-Box screen is far from pc friendly and what you are trying to do there. That's why I suggested shopping around to see if you can find the 360's screen for less elsewhere.

The main description that shows the differences between the 360 and the original should be reviewed at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360
