I'm currently looking for a new monitor, I'm looking to use it for both my xbox gaming and my computer and that's why it's important that it has 2 HDMI connections. Also it has to be Full HD.
I've looked at the Alienware OptX 21,5" AW2210 and it looks good but it is kinda pricey so I was just wondering if it's worth it? Also, how many inches of screen do I need for gameplay to look good on the xbox?

I can't really recommend a monitor for you - but I would say 22" is a good size for Xbox gaming. I use my girlfriends 22" TV (which isn't full HD) normally and it is a really good picture.

The best brands for monitors are probably Dell, LG and Samsung :)

the one i'm looking at is 21.5", will the 0,5" matter?

I have a full HD 19" TV, perfect for my xbox, but its always good to have bigger i guess

I doubt it, it's not really that much of a loss and going by what 2fast2kwl said - its probably still gonna be good :)

I have a 38" and that good, I know people who have 42".

Size doesnt really matter unless it to small.

This is one of the many monitors my dad uses for graphic design, it's really a good monitor, crisp, clear, bright and so on - also, at £239 or whatever it's a bargain.
For Xbox, it's dependant upon how far away you plan to sit from the screen; if it's in a small room, the one above would be fine but if it's in a big room I'd recommend Samsung or Sony as they both produce really good HD TV's. Expensive but worth it.
