Right, I have a Dell 2005FPW 20" widescreen TFT.
It has DVI, VGA, S-video and Composite inputs.
TBH the picture isn't great, its kinda flared around text and other things such as players in pro evo 
I found this:
http://g-prime.net/x360/
Which is the 24" version of my monitor, and the picture seems to be crystal clear.
Any idea what he might be doing differently? Would it be using a different connection or just different settings.

Ah yes I tried this and it didn't display anything
Perhaps I need to use a VGA connection instead of composite?
