    Yeah both of those above would work fine for video just remember neither would be carrying sound so get a 3.5mm to rca cord also if you want to hook it up to the tv. Also if the tv only has rca inputs keep in mind its most likely only standard def so the image may be blurry, might look fine in games but reading text you will be able to tell.

    Microsoft offers a VGA cable kit that will let you connect your 360 to a monitor. Works really well. :)
