    righto, im off to germany for a few months and am leaving my gaming pc behind :(

    my plan is to get an xbox (for gta4 :D:D:D) and also get this 22" monitor to hook it up to. now im a total n00basourous when it comes to hookin up one thing to another with different types of cables and crap... so can anyone tell me will this combo work together outta the box or am i gonna have to go get an aftermarket cable or adapter?...and if so, which one?...

    (id like to make use of the whole hdmi thing even, my laptop has hdmi input aswell, would be nice if i could hook the lappy up to the 22" for movies aswell.)

    thanks

    Microsoft have an officially supported Xbox 360 VGA cable which you can use to plug it into any PC monitor. It also has and audio cable with it to plug it into external speakers, since most pc monitors don't have any of their own. It costs about €20.

    I use my 360 with a 20" widescreen LG monitor this way, its grand. Finished GTA 4 on it the other day :)
