The TV will either need a DVI or VGA connector.

You're best posting a picture of the back of your PC without the monitor cable plugged in so we can see exactly which connectors it has.

Unfortunately I have no way of being able to take a picture of the back of my PC. But I found a picture on google that is pretty much identical to mine:

Looks pretty old :P But you'll need a TV that has a VGA port("PC ports" as they call them for tv) and a hdmi port for your 360

Yep,considering VGA to DVI\HDMI might give you an headache considering it's not the same signal and need a converter(analog to digital)
