I've been looking to get a new monitor for my computer and my search has led me to these two monitors. The Samsung 226BW and the LG L226WTY. I am trying to spend no more than $350 and want a monitor that will work with my 360. I wouldn't mind going to a smaller screen size if it would give me a better picture though.

If you are going to use VGA for the 360 & DVI for the PC, any LCD should do.

There's also select 22"ers than have extra video inputs like component, HDMI, s-video etc.

LG L226WA
Samsung 225MS
^ Couple examples with those extra inputs.

Sadly, all 22" LCDs are TN panels, which many of us despise due to poorer viewing angles & color accuracy, amongst other deficiencies.

This smaller 20" uses a better panel...likely my suggestion for a cheaper 20/22" LCD if you only need DVI/VGA.

That smaller monitor looks nice, my only worry is that there seems to be ghosting issues with it.
