Can I run an X box using a computer monitor rather than a television? That would be a monitor on its own with out the computer.
A 360? Yup, both my flatmate and I use PC monitors hooked up via a vga cable. Im sure if your monitor has hdmi that would do the trick too.
Yep, I do. Picture quality is better than on my 1080p TV too. No hdmi input on my monitor, only dvi, so needed an adaptor for it.
Only downside is you'll need to route the audio separately. I got the separate audio cable running to an old amp (one of [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005EDAFFS/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B000VUVCK6&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=1QFG1GPQ698VJWT6R2AK ]these[/url]). Used to have floorstanders hooked up, but the wife complained that "it sounds like i'm in an effing warzone" & now use headphones.
Yes.

It depends what connections your monitor has.
Top answers STW folks, I dont have a telly and saw some monitors in Comet that were pretty cheap. Thanks a lot.
I also run mine through a pc monitor, 24" Samsung and its great. As for audio I just have an old set of pc speakers I use or headphones to try and limit the war zone complaints.
As an aside, the xbox won't play video through dvi as it thinks you're trying to pirate the content, or at least it didn't last time I tried it. Not had a go since 4OD/5OD/Lovefilm apps have been added.
