Is this a good monitor for HD gaming?

I'm picking it up tomorrow morning for the price you see at the bottom.

Can't see the specs, but looks decent for its price.

The specs are 20''

Max resolution 1600x900 1vga slot

Was talking about contrast ratio and response time, but im guessing they are the normal average for that price,

Though is the 1 vga slot it? no dvi or anything? That would suck a little. Especialy if you wanted to have your comp and xbox hooked up to it.

=[

thats a great buy its got built in speakers

Also, I would seriously get a monitor with both DVI and VGA because if you're using it for your computer you'll want DVI.

This thread is probably better suited for the audio/video hardware discussion forums, but at any rate, the monitor has a DVI input, so you should be good to go. 8)

I'm assuming, since you put this in the 360 forums, that you're planning on playing a 360 on it. You'll need a DVI-to-HDMI cable for that. Granted, you're not gonna be able to get sound through the monitor's speakers with such a cable, either. It would've been better to find a monitor with an HDMI input.

If you're not going to play your 360 on it, then disregard what I just said.

I plan on using it for both my PC and 360. My PC will plug into the DVI port and my 360 into the VGA. I'm lucky enough to have a graphics card that supports DVI

I have my pc hooked up by vga and it looks the exact same as it does hooked up with dvi. (gaming rig at 1920x1080) I think dvi only matters if your resolution is extremely high.
