Curious if anyone here is using a computer monitor with thier 360.

I am currently using a small 20" standard tv with my 360.

I have a 16" standard computer monitor.

I am wondering if the game will look better on the 16" monitor than it does on the 20" tv screen.

I am talking about the small stuff, like long distanc sniping in battlefield 2, will I be able to spot guys easier on the smaller monitor than the larger tv?

also dead rising, the text is so small that I cant make it out on the tv, maybe the monitor with the tighter pixel setup will make the details easier to make out even though the overall size is smaller.

I know there is a cable you can purchase for arround $24 that allows hooking the 360 to your monitor. if it is a much clearer picture I would realy like that.

If anyone is using this set up I would love to hear any feed back. and any other benefits to using a computer monitor. or any problems hooking it up. im assuming the cord from the 360 and the cord from the monitor plug into each other? or does it plug into your case?

anyway Thanks guys.

i have both a 32 " Sony Trinitron and the 360 looks pretty stupid there. graphics goes way down. the tv has input for HDTV display at 480p it looks okay on that one but not so much...

now my DELL 20.1" LCD monitor and my 32 " DELL LCD HDTV the quality is pretty good . on both the monitor and the tv... i can display 1080i on the hdtv and on the monitor it goes to 720p with no problem

but i chose the monitor over the tv . cuz i focus more on the monitor than the tv n/ ,,, if u trying to play COD3 sniping game like u said . yeah the axis rifle looks pretty good lol

the adapter for the pc monitor is on newegg.com heres the link....
