Could this be used for playing the 360 in all its glory via the VGA and the PS2 via the video input; Analogue video Signal: RGB

It could but it might not be the best thing for it... Some LCD's aren't really suited for playing games etc as the action is too fast and they might not have a good enough responce time. Although I found a review of it here and it seems pretty good. Can't see if its a startard VGA or DVI input.. If its a DVI input it'd be for suited for those higher resolutions the 360 says it can put out!

If it was me I'd probably give it a try :cool:

No, its for the 360 via component in HD.

I wouldnt get a 4:3 resolution monitor/tv personally when all the Xbox360 game are designed to be appreciated in [SIZE=-1]1280x720p or [/SIZE][SIZE=-1]1920x1080.

Get a widescreen monitor/tv thats closer to one of the standard hd sizes above.

Its also worth bearing in mind that a lcd only looks good at its native resolution - even if it supports many other resolutions it will tend to look pretty crap imo.

Therefore even if a 4:3 monitor says it will support widescreen resolutions it will generally look crap.

Any of you guys know if a 1920x1200 monitor works ok with a set-top box? (NTL digital)

I read on wikipedia that a monitor with that high resolution may not receive enough input so you might get a fuzzy picture.

Thinking of getting one now to get ready for HDTV
