    I know its got a good Warranty and everything, and the version thats 24" is suppose to be great. I can get 400 bucks and I want to know if its worth the extra 50 bucks. It sounds like it is, but I want to be sure. also I will be able to use either the HDMI in on my laptop or the VGA port to hook it up. And I will be able to put in the RGB cords from my xbox 360 Pro into it? Not the elite so I dont have HDMI. Only elite HDD lol. Help me out and stuff. and Ive decided on a KDS they are just what i want..

    I posted here because no one answered in hardware except for somone who told me they didnt like kds which wasnt my question at all.

    I would personally recommend against purchasing a TN Film panel of size 22" or greater, because if you sit in the center of the screen, the edges will have a different colour. However, if you don't mind a bit of discolouration, that monitor is great value.

    From the sounds of it, that monitor does support Component input. Therefore, you should be able to connect your games console to it provided you have the correct cables.

    basically the only output I have on the 360 is component. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME FIND A CONVERTER! I need to connect it to either DSUB DVI or HDMI. Im guessing that DSUB is VGA? please help me find one that will change component to any of those youll save my life. If not Ill have to get a smaller monitor :(

    You are correct....DSUB is VGA.
    Usually the monitor should come with a converter....but some don't. My 28" Hanns G did I think....but I'll have to check to be sure.
