Hi. I use the 360's VGA cable with a 24" PC monitor and a surround sound system simplybecauseit is cheaper than buying a HDTV.Its one of the reasons I haven't bought a PS3.One of my friends said today that he thinks it isn't as good as having a HDTV even though the picture is just as clear if not better. Anyone else use a VGA cable with a monitor for their 360? Also, is there gonna be an update for it to support higher resolutions?
i use the vga chord with a 20" monitor, it supports some pretty high res, i think hd res but yeah. it looks amazing, i got a home theatre system in my room and my 20 inch that flips between my power mac and my 360
I love the the fact it is so cheap compared to buying a HDTV and that it is so clear. Although I think I might have damaged my monitor slightly unplugging the VGA cable when it is on.

I do it all the time, it looks great and I prefer it over buying an HDTV(until I earn enough money for it). The new Xbox 360 dashboard update will support resolutions up to 1680x1050.
I used to use the 360 VGA cables for my computer monitor until just recently. Currently I run it using a transcoder since I also wanted my PS3 hooked up to it. Now I have both systems on my monitor at 720p and it looks fantastic.

Hes wrong, the difference is that with a full on HDTV you get way more settings and all then you would get with a 24" high-res monitor.
Either way, you should be fine, in fact, when i use my HDTV, all i do is play with my settings, on my PC monitor, the limitted options mean that what im seeing is more than 'correct'

Yeah but sucks for people with 1920x1200, even black bars wouldve been nice
I just bought a 21" CRT that goes up almost to 1080p. I cant wait. I used VGA a while ago on my LCD and it looked amazing, I cant wait to see it on this baby lol. It's probably the best thing Microsoft has done IMO - the VGA cable that is. Instead of spending a grand on an HDTV just use your computer monitor or buy a 20$-30$ CRT that goes up to about 1800x1440 or 1600x1200 or something along those lines.
