720p HD is at a res of 1280x720, so that monitor should be ok to run at that, but with black bars at the top and bottom, since it's a widescreen resolution. Although, I have no experience with running an XBox 360 through a monitor...
VGA adapters are pretty pants dude, unless you've got a HDMI input on your display it's just not worth the hassle I'm afraid.
have you ever tried using the 360 on your monitor my bro has same 1 interested in how it performs but dont have a vga cable/Quote:

So you dont need an HDMI adapter ....
What are you basing that on? VGA & Composite RGB are electrically the same, except a different sync voltage. An HDMI - DVI adaptor may give you marginally better picture quality (and it would be very marginal, if noticeable at all). But a VGA cable would be grand.Quote:

[EDIT: Sorry to hijack Dan, but if this isn't the case then could someone please direct me to a working solution - I'd love you forever. :bowdown:]
The Xbox 360 has component out, so yeah, its different :)Quote:

so is this a NO-NO then as i wanted to use my monitor as i have a small living room and currently a 28" tv for my 360 and it takes up lots of space

I got excited for am inute that I could hookup my PS2 to my 22" LCD and play in widescreen, but it doesn't look possible.... :( Ah well, I have it hooked up to a 32" fullscreen old school TV that looks awesome (years of painstakingly tweaking display settings...).
i bought one for my tft and the quality running high def compared to my crappy old tv :)
No, its a yes yes. it doesnt work well on non component sources (ps2 old xbox) but is fine on new consoles.Quote:
