I have an original xbox console which I would like to use with the biggest screen I have, a 27 inch LED LCD monitor with a VGA port, a DVI port and a HDMI port.
I already knew that the way to get my original Xbox connected to my monitor was going to be some what complicated as I have to convert signals.
So, what I have done is bought an original xbox component cable

And a converter to convert component to HDMI

So I have everything connected and it some what works. The problem is that I get a box on my monitor that says "HDMI OUT OF RANGE 15.6KHz / 50Hz" and the box doesn't go away, however, the monitor can display the video signal being produced from the original Xbox console, and if PAL 60 is enabled on the console the montor will not display anything.
So, with my xbox 360 console I have, I decided to test the converter connected to my monitor and everything works fine although if I flick that switch on the component cable to "TV" i get the same problem.
So I figured I am missing something to convert the signal but I am not sure what so I need help trying to figure out what else I need to get my original xbox connected to my 27 inch monitor which is a LG E2742.
