HD monitor X360

[wehrwulf]

I'm looking to buy a x360 and would like to run it in HD - I'm looking to buy a monitor rather than a HDTV

Can anybody recommend a monitor that would fit the following

screen size 20" widescreen

response 8ms

capable of 720

input Vga or dvi

budget is about 200-300

Many thanks

sony do a lovely multi purpose widescreen 17inch monitor(built in tv tuner).


its x-black technology has 1280x768 widescreen resolution, and handles sd brilliantly too as well as 720p hd.

vga,dvi-i, component(480p,720p,1080i compatible),s-video,av etc.

16ms response time(although it has absolutely no ghosting at all, it even out performs my 8ms samsung lcd)

i strongly recommend it!!

look at www.empiredirect.co.uk

the viewsonic 20" is a good one you can get that just round about 300 notes

Its got a decent 8ms reponse is widescreen and 20" 1680x1050 native and has integrated speakers

This is the one im getting in about a week and a bit so ill soon know how well it works with HD

Thyanks for thr help

I'm looking at the viewsonic for ?300 from Dabs

just one more question

can the x360 connect to this monitor via DVI? or do you have to have a vga-dvi connector?

There's no DVI output for the 360, but a VGA-DVI dongle shouldn't be hard to find.

bear in mind that it wont look as good running on a 1650x1080 monitor as the native res of the 360 is 1280x720p.


you'll get a very soft looking 360 image, but a nice high res pc image.
