XBOX 360-PC Monitor

[bsbllstr876]

Forgive me if these are stupid questions. I can't afford an HDTV so I was wondering if I bought a nice monitor and VGA cables would it look any different than on an SDTV. I was looking at this monitor http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/ViewS...oductDetail.do

If that one is no good then maybe you guys can help me pick one that is good and under $300

I kinda have a similar question. I have a toshiba laptop with VGA input. I was wondering if I bought the cable would I be able to play it on here. And would it look any better than my SDTV. Thanks.

That ViewSonic monitor does not accept component cables, you would have to buy the VGA cable for the xbox 360.

Most laptops have VGA output, not VGA input. If somehow you do have a VGA input, the you should be able to hook up the VGA cable as well and it would work.

How about this one. Sorry I'm not to good with this stuff. What exactly do I look for to see if it will take VGA cables?

This question has been asked plenty of times here, guys. If you do a little searching on this forum, you'll find lots of opinions on it.

I, personally, game this way. I bought a 19" Samsung Widescreen monitor a few months back, along with the VGA cable. Honestly, I like the image on this better than on my 32" CRT-HDTV. It's much sharper and the colors are brighter and more crisp.
