Firstly , is it possible?

If it is, what is the easiest way? and how much will it cost me?

In case ur wondering, i game on 20 inch JVC that is about 15 years old. The quality is crap and i can bearly read the words. However my 22 inch samsung monitor is beautiful, and i would enjoy gaming on it.

If it has component input you should have no problem. You'll need speakers though. I run mine on a 24 in Dell.

yes it is possible especially if you have a new hdmi xbox 360 and a monitor with hdmi. if you monitor has vga then it is also possible with the old xbox 360. Microsoft sells the vga to xbox 360 cords for about 30-40 dollars. The monitor will probably have black lines on the top and bottom though.

Look at your monitor documentation and tell us the types of inputs your monitor has. Look and see if your Xbox has HDMI out.

Looks like you don't have composite or HDMI input. Maybe to adapter mentioned above is the way to go. I'm not familiar with it.
