right, i saw 1080p and i flipped! anyway, it's a huse waste of money!

Belkin box does this:
Xbox 360 (or other HDMI) -> iMac (so you display picture on the iMac)

Monoprice cable does this:
iMac/MacBook/MacBookPro -> TV with HDMI (audio passed only on 2010 models).

The former is MUCH harder than the latter, because the iMac display is dumb when in slave mode and doesn't scale the image. Without a scaler, it'd only accept 720p content I believe.]]>Jun 24th 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/Jun 24th 2010 11:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/I was just headed in here to make that statement.

What 27" secondary screen are you getting for 150 bucks?

The product is for people who have an imac ... and dont want to buy a second display or a tv to hook up their XBox .. or Cable Box or whatever.

I think the real question is how much lag it creates while converting to 720p / mini display port signal. any lag in an online FPS makes it kinda pointless]]>Jun 24th 2010 3:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/Jun 24th 2010 2:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/24/belkins-av360-mini-displayport-converter-lets-you-play-xbox-360/Jun 24th 2010 11:42PM
