Not understanding the VGA To DVI connector

[tfwwolf]

Ok I recently purchased a VGA cable for my 360 and ps3 and i want to make it HD by using a connector to make it DVI

But the problem is this DVI connector came with my graphics card and works fine in my desktop

But when i try to put the vga to DVI converter into the DVI slot for my HD monitor its too big?

Hard to explain or understand but i try to force it in (stupid of me no damage thankfully)

But its too big for the DVI slot on my monitor so i thought to myself (because im not really that gifted with monitor technical support)

Maybe theres 2 different types of connectors for a monitor compared to a graphics card

So i ordered this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000FII810/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

Hopeing AND PRAYING it will fit

Any ideas what it could be?

Thank you

Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

Quote from one of the Amazon reviews

I bought one of these adaptors to connect my xbox 360 VGA cable to my DVI input on my HD TV.

 

One word, Perfect.

 

Is what you have got exactly the same as the Amazon photo ?

 

What is the make and model number of your Monitor?

Ah its okay i figured it out myself

Im so dumb i noticed my monitor is DVI-D

that guy was DVI-I

I would need a conversion box to even consider using a vga to dvi-d

So now ive just done this

Ima buy a HDMI to DVI D cable

That should work right? if its a 360 ill need the VGA one anyhow for the sound adapters attached to it, since the other one broke

So yea ima just buy the hdmi to dvi -d close thanks btw for the reply.
