    I was wondering, is it possible to hook up something with a VGA connection to use the screen on the M1530? I use my Xbox 360 with my VGA monitor, but I'm selling my desktop, and of course the monitor is going with it. So I was wondering, is there a way I can hook the 360 up to the M1530 screen?

    (I'm using the Microsoft VGA cable by the way)

    the XPS doesn't have a VGA input, only an output. So plugging in the XBOX 360's output into the M1530 wouldn't do anything. the only way I am aware of is by using a capture card, which i probably wouldn't recommend since it is usually very laggy.

    Ah ok, thank you ;) I guess I'll just get a new monitor then.
