How to choose the right LCD monitor for gaming?

Q. I am going to be using the LCD monitor with my Xbox 360 and I am having difficulties on what I should look for.

I can't seem to figure out what specs I am looking for. Can anyone tell me about which contrast ratio, vertical/ horizontal refresh rates, resolution, and brightness I should look for on an LCD monitor?

Also would it be better with HDMI or no? If possible can you also list a few monitors you would recommend?

A. HDMI is good, but expensive. DVI will give you the same result for a lot less.

Refresh rates are going to be about the same for every brand. However, some top of the line have 240 Hz rates - very good.

Resolution: 1920x1200 is HD widescreen.

Contrast of 1000:1 or better.

Response: 5 ms or less

Dot Pitch: 0.28 or less

Brightness: 300 cd at a bare minimum, get the highest.


How to have audio on Xbox 360 via HDMi on LCD Monitor without having the LCD connected to a Desktop?
Q. Is it possible to connect the Xbox 360 to one of my LCD monitors with HDMi and still have audio without having to connect the PC in and other stuff ... The problem is that the actual LCD Monitor does not have incorporated speakers ... so can normal speakers be connected to my xbox using some cables or extention. Much appreciated

A. Yes, you can do that. You have two options:

1. You can use HDMI for video and the optical audio output on your Xbox if you have one of the model with both.

2. You can use HDMI for video and buy the A/V HD adapter that allows you to use either optical or the red/white rca stereo hookups. You can find these adapters on amazon.

And, of course, you'll need a sound system/speakers that can use whichever connection you go with. You can can an adapter that will go from rca stereo to 3.5mm for portable speaker systems.
