    Are you sure the monitor is set on the vga input and not the dvi input.

    There normal a small source button on the monitor somewhere that quite often looks like an arrow going into a box.

    Just a side note when you connected it up were there any other inputs on the monitor or just one.

    As the console starts, press and hold the Y button as you pull the right trigger.

    Note This action causes the Xbox Dashboard to reset the display settings to the default settings. The console then automatically restarts.

    Should boot straight onto a VGA. I used to have my 360 connected to an LG monitor with no problems.
