My brother is looking for a new pc monitor to play his 360 on because the cheapest 22" tvs are about £320 and they are probably crap even at that price, so I thought a monitor would give better gaming performance than a tv in this situation, as the ability to watch tv is not needed.

Since he will be using a 360 @ 1366x768 (I think) then he will need 1:1 pixel mapping correct?

Atm he has a vga and component lead but most lcd monitors only seem to support decent picture quality through dvi, is there a dvi cable for the 360?

Also since the 360 is only 1366x768 will there be any problems with picture quality since monitors are usually around 1680x1050?

for that price I think you are looking more 19-22" the cheapest 22" about at the moment is about £220 iirc the Belinea in ocuk's shop, but that does NOT have dvi :(

24" ones are £550+

If the picture is good through vga then thats fine, it's just that I've heard some dual connection monitors only have a good picture through dvi and not vga.

I've seen a few 22" monitors for £210-230.

Fujitsu Siemens ScaleoView L22-1W
Acer AL2216WS
Sony V7 L22
BenQ FP222W

and of course the Belina one.

I guess the 24" ones are a bit out of the price range after all, the cheapest I can find them is £425.

Iiyama PLE2200WS-VB1 - 22" can be had very cheaply elsewhere. Don't know what the quality is like though.
