How to Hook an Xbox 360 to a Dell ST2010B With an HDMI Cable

The Dell ST-2010B is a 2009 Studio Series PC monitor. Like many monitors in its size range, the unit can be used to display a multitude of input devices besides a computer. The Microsoft Xbox 360 is a prime example of one of these devices. Capable of outputting resolutions at or near the PC resolutions, the console is a nice match for the 2010B.

  Access the back panel of the Xbox 360. Locate the "HDMI" port located on the lower right hand side of the console.

  Plug an HDMI cable straight into the port, with the longer flat side of the connector facing up.

  Turn the monitor and console on. Allow the console to auto-detect the ideal resolution of the monitor, which it will do by default. The monitor will adjust its resolution in accordance with HDMI's extended display identification data (EDID) protocol.
