You got new monitor with VGA input then go ahead to get official MS VGA cable. It must work with monitor to get HD quality and just find out from MPAA screen if same as HD quality. The red and white input is just for audio, that bring sounds from speaker but need check out with speaker if would work without red and white input.

my new monitor's a starlogic 19' flat panel TFT/LCD monitor and here's a picture of the manual so you can see what my montior exactly looks like.
of course, even my monitor have built in speakers...so I dont really know if it would work i mean, could i use my computer and xbox360 same time without having to remove xbox360 vga cable and put in computer vga cable? maybe if i see a complete look of the xbox360 vga cable and see how it works then i perhas could buy it.

Yea, it must be work with MS VGA.

You can buy DVI to VGA adapter for your computer to hook up then no need remove again.

are you serious? cause if i do get ms vga cable, it would replace the computer vga cable? i mean, my vga cable connects from my montior to my cpu so...what will happen to cpu if i just connect ms vga cable to monitor and xbox360 only? or do i have to switch between cables to use computer and to play videogames?

Okay now that i see it, but only one problem...what about the connections on my cpu? I dont see the end connection for the CPU... lol I'm not quite that good with computers hardware as I am with consoles, dvd players, and tvs but computers on the other hand, is abit more complicated to me.

besides i dont have anything connected to the DVI on my montior.

Does your CPU has VGA input? It's like 15 pin with D.

of course. a cable for each end. one end for the monitor and one end for the cpu...so thats why I'm confused that the vga cable doesnt seem to have like THREE ends...one for montior, one for cpu, and one for the xbox360 console.

It must be work for all of them.

Just give an chance to try it but need buy DVI to VGA adapter from store (Wal-Mart, Circuit City or Best Buy) and get MS VGA then ready for hook up. If you already had VGA cable for computer then hook in VGA to DVI adapter. You can switch with 2 screen, from computer into 360.

Okay let me get this straight.

DVI to VGA adapter is like a second vga input right? I connect it on the DVI input on the montior, then connect the xbox360 vga cable to the VGA end of the adapter and...thats it?

Yea, that right.
 
hmmm okay i could give it a try going to circuit city torromow and find the adapter and trade some old shit to eb games to get the vga cable.
 
So...what you think is the best resloution for a LCD computer montior?

720p? 1080p? what?
 
I've bought a VGA cable today and frankly, I REALLY do like it lol but I couldnt find the DVI to VGA adapter since they were so hard to find ugh as long as I get one then it would make my life alot easier without having to plug vga cables between PC and Xbox360 ugh.

I've set my resloution settings to 1280x1024 and it's looking freakin sharp and sweet! :D even looks very PC-ish and when I played Gears of War on the Xbox360 to my LCD montior it looks obviously way better than on SDTV..the visuals are sharper and the text is very clear and readable and I've even noticed that Dom have more facial hair than he looks on SDTV lmao. However, the only major differnence from SDTV to the VGA montior is that I see two black bars in between like I was watching a widescreen movie on a fullscreen TV...is that even normal? VGA is a major improvement for visual resloution and dobly sound, etc...very good work MS! ;) Finally that I have experienced high definiton gaming for the first time, I hope to keep it that way instead of getting a HDTV so VGA really makes up for ppl who have a montior with VGA input but dont have enough money to afford a HDTV. monitors are cheaper and so are VGA cables. I've tried S-video on Xbox360 before but VGA really beats S-video like hell...the visuals are even more sharper and more colorful than S-video for sure.

So this is a total recommendiation for ppl who dont have HDTVs but have a monitor with VGA input SHOULD get that as a cheaper way of getting HD gaming.

thanks for ur help pacman. next time I find the dvi to vga adapter, I'll get it too.
 
I second the recommendation for using a VGA cable. I saw a LCD monitor hooked up to a 360 in a EBGames and it was playing Madden 07, which was really really sharp. I use the VGA cable when I want to use my projector. I've been watching my Cars DVD on it lately, experiencing nerdgasm each time. :D

this never gets old.. for the 100,000,000 times, HDTV has nothing do with HD gaming. I dont know why deaf people think that way.
