Monitor for a 10 year old? (360/PC use)

ssmacc · 8 Dec 2010 at 10:50

I’m after a Monitor (or a HDTV) mainly for 360 use, although a PC may go through it in the future, due to the 360 I’m assuming one with a HDMI would be best? I’d like to keep the budget as low as possible (it’s for a 10year old so doesn’t need to be the best in class etc.) Anything above 20” will be big enough.

I’m tempted to for the Iiyama ProLite E2409HDS 24" (below) as its the cheapest I can see with a HDMI, any reason not to go for it?

FYI

You don't need one with an HDMI input to get it to work on your Xbox. There are plenty of tutorials on youtube showing you what you need to do. You just need a HDMI to DVI adapter.

Didn't know that, i'll look into later, i assume the same tutorials cover sound?

Yep, they show you how to get the sound up and running.

You may prefer HDMI but I'm just offering an alternative.

alternative is good as the HDMI Monitors are seem little expensive for a 10 year old...

I might still get one, but the option is good to have.

Thanks
