Ok, so for xmas my brother is buying me this monitor for my computer, but I'm gonna buy myself a VGA cable and use it for my 360 too. The thing is, I need to know if this monitor has speakers, so will it play sound? What do I do if it doesn't play sound? How will I be able to get around this? If it doesn't have speakers, but does have a headphone slot, if I plug in my headphones will I be able to hear sound through the headphones while I play? I don't neccessarily mind if I can only hear sound whilst using headphones, as I have some amazing gaming headphones anyway.

Here is the TFT:

You will not be able to listen to the games since VGA doesn't transfer audio.

Well, if you ask me: You're better off buying an LCD TV of similar size, which is basically TFT according to Wiki. TV has the speakers, it'll have a VGA input plus the Coax(cable) plug-in, which a computer monitor most likely will not have. They're about the same price, I had been looking into this myself just last week, I figure since the TV has the Coax, it'll be better off anyways, less hassle, etc. Hope I helped.
