Questions about the VGA cables, and all of that.

Okay, since my thread in the XB360 forum failed, I'll ask here.

Alright, so I want to play my xbox on my pc monitor because it's a flat screen, and I'm figuring it would look alot nicer on here. It's not Widescreen, it's like a 17 inch I think. But I'm totally confused about what cords I need. I know there are these "vga" cables for the xbox which will allow one to hook a xbox up to a monitor, but all the vga cables I can find are "XBOX360 VGA HDAV". I'm completely confuse.

 Any insight would help me. Alot. Like what I need and all.

Okay, so I don't need a HD monitor to use the microsoft one?Kaihato

You need a monitor that can support at least 1024X768.  Most monitors support at least that anyway.

Edit:  Actually, I just checked the resolutions  the 360 can support go down to 640X480.  If you want HD resolution though you need a monitor that supports at least 1280X720 16:9 or 1280X1024 4:3.

Oh, lol. I'm running that right now =P.

I can go all the way upto 1280 by 1024
