How do I hook my xbox 360 to my computer monitor?

Q. My monitor only has DVI and VGA. But I would like to use my computer monitor to play xbox 360 games. Is this the sort of cable I need? http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-HDMI-Adapter-Cable-Meters/dp/B001TH7T2U/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

If I use that cable will my computer speakers pick up the audio from my xbox or would I need another cable for that?

A. You need an xbox vga av cable like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DGPNOM/ref=oh_details_o04_s00_i00

As for the seller, I recommend eforcity. I always order from them :p
Since your monitor doesn't have hdmi, this cable will connect your xbox directly to your monitor through the vga port. If you get a third party cable, the color will be a little washed out, but it's not too noticeable. As for audio, you'll need something like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JFF7A/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00 if you have a typical speaker system with the standard 3.5 mm plug. The red and white plugs will fit into the adapter for sound.
These should work. I actually just successfully set up my xbox with my samsung syncmaster monitor using these exact products a few days ago.
Good luck! :)

I am looking for a 24ish in monitor to play xbox and pc games on?

Q. I do not know anything about computer monitors. Therefore i will not be disappointed with a lower quality monitor, however, i would like a quality monitor that will suit my needs. I am guessing i will need a normal quality monitor (nothing "gamer") but not anything junky. I really appreciate all of the help i could get. I am willing to spend up to 250 dollars including shipping. Links would be helpful. Thanks again!

A. I have this monitor http://www.bestbuy.com/site/LG+-+23%22+Widescreen+Flat-Panel+LCD+HD+Monitor+-+Black/9274616.p?id=1218072891677&skuId=9274616

I really like it. I would definitely recommend an LG monitor. They are top of the market in quality. Another brand worth considering is Asus. I haven't seen any of their desktop monitors but the screen on my Asus laptop is amazing. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010190020%2050001315%201309821328&name=24%22

What would you like to see change in computer gaming systems?

Q. I recently read that the computer gaming industry is running at 30 or 40% of what they could really be. What would change this? What needs to be done to increase this percentage?

A. personally i would like to see games utilize the dual core technology more, i recently bought Doom but found it only using half of the dual core (one core only) and as its a new comp i built i am really looking for a game to test its limits.

better programmers, and people emplyed only to come up with new game ideas would certainly be a help. also more 3d games and extreme interactive technology if you can find technology to help you pet your cat if your in asia and your cats in ontario why cant you wear a suit that when you get shot vibrates in that spot?
