What's the response rate on that LCD? LCDs don't handle fast-moving images as well as other technologies.

If your LCD has a regular cable input on it, you can use this adapter. If not, you need to look for an xbox-to-VGA (or DVI depending on your monitor) converter.

Thanks for your help cvillehog... I had a friend of mine call me, he has the same monitor. He told me that he uses a Multi Purpose Component Vga Box. He said it works perfectly, but he told me to buy one of those monster cables to get the maximum graphics.
