Its the way to do it mate, I have a 19" monitor and use that for gaming. You need the VGA cable and you will then need to adjust the resolution settings.

Cool sounds good. I've looked at the VGA cables on the net, and at the back of my screen, and my screen hasnt got any other imputs? Does this mean I cant do it?  Tis a very fit screen aswell? Hmph. Can I not use a VGA switch box or sumthing? I dunno...

you plug the cable out of the moniter into a male - female VGA converter
then you plug the 360 vga cable end into the end of the moniters cable
its slightly faffy, but works just as well
