Hey guys I was hoping for some help since I am not the most technical savy person in the world...

I am looking to connect my 360 to my computer monitor which is a 19" ViewSonic VA912b which is non HD monitor.. It has both DVI and VGA inputs with speakers attached... Ive found this cable (link below) which does HD connection through VGA port ... I was wondering if it will still work with my monitor before I buy it... I think it will work... I would appreciate the feedback.. thanks...

Thanks

Dude. All monitors are HD capable. You just need a vga cable for the 360 and that's it. I just use the official microsoft vga cable.

Most monitors have had HD resolutions but never advertized them as "HD" way before TV's got higher resolutions, so just assume any monitor that isnt REALLY ancient has at least 1280x1024 (which is like 720p but in a more square shape)
