I play on a nice small monitor maybe 19 inches, and I use turtle beach x 11s.

I live in an apartment and find it really convenient and cozy to play this way as I also have a vga switch.

do any of you play on a monitor? how do you like it?

I play on a 23" samsung LED monitor and I love it. I dont do very well on big tv's just because my eyes have more area to scan. I am alot better at fps's on a monitor.

i play on my 23'' or so monitor and really like it.. hdtv's are super expensive compared to the same sized monitor plus you'd get 1080p with the monitor and rarely you'd get that on the same sized hdtv. :S

I mainly play on a 50" plasma. I do occasionally play on a 24" LCD. I much prefer sitting in the living room than the PC monitor.

I use X11's too, but what cables do you use for video? Do you use the Microsoft HD VGA Cables? Or, but yet, do you use HDMI on your monitor?

yeah I play on my 20" lcd monitor, looks perfectly fine.

I don't watch TV so I don't see the point of investing into a flat screen TV.

it's also easier since I have the surround sound hooked up to my computer and the internet connection there as well

It seems like a lot of people play on a PC monitor, I still play on a 32" RCA with no HD (Yes, it's that old :P) but I was wondering if I should upgrade to a PC Monitor?

I'm on a 19 or 20" (I don't remember exactly) Dell monitor. Best choice I ever made was to buy the cables to play on my monitor instead of my standard def tv.

I have two 360's: one on my Sony HDtv and the other on my 22 inch monitor.

Honestly I like the tv better.
