so i just need to buy the HDMI cable? or will the one that comes with the premium console bundle work with it?

im a solid pc user, this will be my first console buy and im getting this monitor to come along with it as i want to run the 360 and pc on the same monitor...

hdmi cable, vga cable.

you will have to re route the sound though.

yea, i was thinking that if i have the HDMI cable, i can then just plug my 2.1 jack into the monitor... or the 360. seeing as the HDMI carries the sound as well doesnt it.

Read the FAQ 360 sticky in the console forum section for the explanation to get audio. Comes done to needing the PC on at the same time as the 360. If you are unhappy with the inbuilt speakers ofc.

does the premium now come with a HDMI cable? i thought only the elite did. correct me if i'm wrong though.

in my other thread, someone just confirmed that the monitor has a 3.5mm jack on it, so i can plug in my HDMI then just stick my 2.1 in the jack allowing me to play the sound through my speakers, that makes my life so much easier!
