Ok, if i order this HD VGA CABLE for 360 on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NEW-VGA-HD-HIGH-DE...1QQcmdZViewItem

Would it make my kinda crappy but still alright "15 LCD Monitor High Definition? The highest resolution on it is 1280 X 800 Pixels, and it runs well on 1024 X 768. Would it make a better difference than normal tv?

Please may you lot explain to me as im new to this, Thanks. Regards.

ive been wanting to do this for a little while, does it matter what the refresh rate is because i have this old crappy 15" crt monitor that only does 60 hz but it goes to 1280x1024 (i think) so what kinda picture will this get?

Basically, all moniters dating back 5-10 years ago can generally go HD, this is because PC moniters have always had better quaility, generally with LCD they always seem to go HD plasma also go HD, but not that great, and obviosuly the screens have to be a decent size. I've got a 7 year old plasma 17" moniter that happily goes HD. TV's ahve only just gone HD, because the technology for the quaility of taht size screen has only becoem available recently. So yeh most moniters will always go HD ever if they are 5 years or 10 years old.

720p yes, 1080i no. I have it set up to my 20" monitor, and the highest useful rez is around 1280x1024 or so. Works great:)
