Right i'm not bad with technology and stuff but i'd just like to know if anyone knows of any decent deals at the moment for like 19"+ monitors that have HD displays for the 360 but also have the cable in the back to plug to your computer.. Anyone?

Keep an eye out on www.hotukdeals.com, usually something pops up. But all you're after is a monitor with multiple inputs, either DVi+DVI or DVI+HDMI or even a DVI+VGA will do as a 360 does 720p over VGA.

Yeh but i really like the HD quality. Going from a 48" plasma 1080p quality to a 19" 720p will just annoy me haha. Don't get me wrong smaller screen fine, but still need HD.

Surely you can just get a decent tv that does it all? My Bravia is hooked up to the PC as well as all the toys.

Thanks for that info mate, knew there'd be certain codes 'DVI+VGA'

HD is 720/1080 i or p and on a small screen you won't know the difference. Certainly i can't tell the difference on my parents bedroom 26" between 720 or 1080 p. On a 40" it becomes a bit more apparent....

Edit - Some monitors, i know some of the mid/top end dells do, have component inputs which i believe will result in 1080i from the 360. as i said though, i'd be suprised if you can tell the difference between 720 and 1080 on a 19" monitor
