connectivity ?

[86JR]

Ive just got an Elite (thanks mum and dad) and i need to connect it to my monitor, one of those LG's with the built in tuner that i dont use.

Currently im using

hdmi / dv from pc
scart from freeview box
which leaves coax inputs, about 6 of them and one of those ancient vga inputs.

now i understand ideally i need to use hdmi / dvi for the xbox for best picture ?

sound wise i just need an optical lead to connect xbox 360 elite - DAC - hifi and sub amps.

so do i use vga or hdmi or coax inputs, which is best ?

obviously if hdmi im gonna have to keep swapping them over.

the screens native res is 1680x1050...

thanks

ah if i do that, the screen doesnt work properly and i get black bars cutting 2 inches of the left side of the screen off...

hi yes they are components, i can plug them in here but been told ill get much worse quality ?

Ive also seen hdmi switches for £7 which could be a solution ?
