Hi guys, I don't know if any of you will have any experience with connecting a 360 to a PC monitor but I've been thinking about implementing this for a while now and it's all a bit too confusing for my simple mind!!

I have a Samsung 22" Pebble (SM2232BW) widescreen monitor

The monitor has x2 DVI ports at the back. I can find plenty of HDMI -> VGA adaptor cables but not so many HDMI -> DVI? Is it as simple as finding one of those and plug & play?

From various forums and product reviews, I've read that it might be necessary to buy a seperate cable for audio as well but I assume this might only be for HDTV's as they will obviously have speakers whereas this monitor doesn't? I have my own seperate sound system.

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

you need dvi to hdmi adapter, or dvi to hdmi cable

they cost like 1-2 pounds on ebay

as for audio - what i did is, cracked that plastic thing off the hd av cable (the one with a lot of wires), to allow me to plug in both in the xbox - hdmi for video and hdav cable for audio :).
