small hi dev tv or vga cable+comp monitor

should i get a small, cheap, flimsy, possibly faulty hdtv from walmart, or should i get a computer monitor+a vga cable? which has better picture quality? either way, i pay the same money.(approx. $350)

i am also considering one of those apple displays. are they any good for x360 gaming?

The apple displays are AWESOME computer displays, but don't use one for the 360. They only have a DVI input (which rocks on a computer), but you can only do VGA from the 360. You could do a DVI-VGA adapter, but you get some weird artifact on the screen when you do that (slightly offset image, kinda like a 3d movie but not as obvious). Stick with a VGA monitor.

I am runningon a 22" acer monitor. It's great I say go for the monitor.

Of course it can. I've played Halo:CE, Max Payne, and Splinter Cell on my Hanns G monitor. I don't know what you're talking about.

I have my eye on this one, it might fit your needs. 23" 720p w/ an 8ms response time, and a good selection of inputs. This company has been in the computer monitor business a while so I'm not a weary about them as some other cheap manufacturers.
