well right now i have a flat screen 27" crt tv and i have my 360 hooked up to it via component and it looks pretty good but it still hard to read small text and stuff like that. i also have a 17" crt monitor for pc and i was wondering if it would be worth it to get the vga cables and hook my 360 up to my monitor.

I don;t think they will make a noticable difference.

I played Xbox 360 on my17" PC monitor before I got my HDTV. And the picture is much sharper on an LCD monitor than on a CRT TV (at least the one I had).

Depends on your TV. Try it out and make sure you can return it ( I think you can if you just say something like it was the wrong cable, return plox), or borrow one from a friend who has one to see how it looks.

There's no question the 17inch PC screen will look sharper than the SD 27inch (SD right?). But will you like to game on a small screen like that just to read text?

The VGA offers a crisper picture than the component / composite cables, but at 17" it doesn't really matter.
