Well depends if the PC has a dvi on the videocard.If it does then your want a cheap 20" to 24" with a vga and dvi output use the dvi for pc.Buy a vga cable for the xbox 360 most shops stock them out in the high street.Then your ready to go.I have a samsung doing the same thing.If the pc dont have a DVI ready card then your need a LCD with s-video to hook it up .
