I just got a VGA HD cable to use my 360 on my pc monitor(Dell Ultrasharp 1905FP 19") and it has 1280x1024 pixels and what does that translate into? 720p?1080i?1080p?

it's the equivalent of 1080p on a 4x3 screen.No its not... 1280x1024 has 1310720 pixels, where 1920x1080 has 2073600, over 50% more pixels. There isn't a 16:9 equivilent.

There isn't a 16:9 equivilent. no, but it is the closest as far as 4:3 screens go. edit: what he's asking is what realm his 4:3 screen exists in relation to 16:9 screens. 1280x1024 is most definitely high definition.

Unless it downscales it, which I doubt that monitor can do.
OP, you have to choose a 4:3 resolution. I'm pretty sure the only 4:3 resolutions that the 360 is capable of are 480i and 480p. Just choose 480p.
The guy is playing XBOX on his computer monitor. From his television to his computer monitor. Sorry if I didn't specify specifics, but I'm pretty sure his computer monitor has a higher resolution than his television if he's connecting his XBOX to it. 1280x1024 compared to standard television is the equivalent of going from a Flintstones car to a Ferrari.
None of the above. It's a 4:3 ratio resolution, all the ones you listed are 16:9.RayvinAzn
Minor correction: the aspect ratio of 1280x1024 is 5:4, not 4:3. At a pixel aspect ratio of 4:3, the pixel-height of an image with a pixel-width 1280 would actually be 960, not 1024.
Not that it's of much significance; your point was that it isn't a 16:9 resolution, which is the aspect ratio of the resolutions he listed.

1280x1024 is a 5:3 ratio (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg).
