A/V connection for Xbox one

[wiz569]

Guys is there any way to connect an older TV to this console?

Son only has an older HD ready TV which only has scart ,dvi ( 640 x 480 ) or composite connections ,cheaper the better

Have a feeling he is going to have to upgrade his TV though

DVI doesn't support sound though. You'd have to find a way to get audio out to the tv.

DVI only gives a resolution of 640 x 480,and no sound although there is a sound socket on both Xbox and TV,so that would work if the resolution wasn't so bad

I feel bad as its the first thing he has ever saved up for himself and I never thought to check outputs as I'm not a console user

No! That's VGA resolution wiz. DVI is way better than that.

That's all the Xbox one will allow Nara,its pants that way

Think it`s time to buy him one of these Samsung S9: 85-inch Series 9 UHD 4K Smart 3D LED TV | Samsung UK - OVERVIEW

Doesn't seem to be any cables in my locality and I'm not convinced they would work,especially seeing as how the dvi connection is limited to 640 x 480 ,

Time to bite the bullet and fork out for a TV/monitor combo

What a fecking day,

Decide to bite the bullet and buy a new TV,which I might add he is paying for,after forking out for his Xbox One already,

So trawl through page after page of TV's looking for something that will have the necessary connections to accommodate all his original gear plus the Xbox One,and eventually find this,which is at the top of his non-existent budget,

Buy Samsung UE22ES5000 22 Inch Full HD 1080p Freeview LED TV. at Argos.ie

So off we go to collect,about 10 miles away to the nearest Argos store that had it in stock,and another 10 miles back home,

Unpack it only to find that the afore mentioned DVI connection is actually a HDMI/DVI socket,and no adapter in the box,not to mention it would mean having to plug/unplug every time he switched between PC and Xbox,

Silver lining in the end though as it did have a VGA connection which gives a resolution of 1920 x 1080,didn't realise VGA went that high,so that the PC connection sorted,eventually,

Xbox One into the HDMI and we are rocking,smiles all round

Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys its appreciated
