xbox360 and LCD

Thats really expensive for a 19" with only a VGA connection. So if you did get that monitor you would need to buy a VGA adapter to play the Xbox360 on it. Either way look in the hot deals forum to get a better monitor for cheaper.
 
Yeah, that monitor is not a good choice. I was able to pick up a Westinghouse 27w7 at Best Buy for $620. Look for a better deal or increase your budget.
 
What ever monitor you buy , make sure its a widescreen or You ain't going to enjoy your XBOX 360. I recommend dell 2005FPW : )

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824112176 for pirce this is pretty good. I bought a 19" CMV Widescreen for $240USD for someone and he pretty much very happy with it , watches movies , playes games ect and it works perfect. Don't really need to spend $500 for a little better feature.

just a dumb question, is the dell 2005FPW HD ready?

It does not have HDCP.
It does have a resolution (1680x1050) of higher than the lower HDTV standard (1280x720), but not 1920x1080. Image quality must be sacrificed somewhere. You'd be best downscaling 1920x1080 if possible.
It can import S-Video and Composite-Video, mediocre quality, but not component (good HD quality). If you can hook it up via VGA or DVI, image quality should be the best in those connections compared to any of the other connections (S-Video/Composite-Video (Y/C), Component (YPbPr)).
I'm not sure of its scaling options but those should be able to be found in the Dell manual somewhere.

Here's a review: http://www.prad.de/en/monitore/review_dell_2005fpw.html

The VX2025WM is still vastly superior and the same price, if not cheaper than the Dell 2005FPW.
