    You can buy a VGA Cable for the Xbox 360 to use it through a Computer Monitor, if you use DVI, you can pick up a VGA>DVI converter cheap.

    It might work using it through the TV Input but it's likely it would lose quality and/or be a bit laggy.

    1. Yes

    2. I would run it straight to your monitor for a 360

    3. You ould need to use a digital input or something, what inputs do they have?

    How do i connect a dvi or vga port directly to my 360?
    @ TAMU

    My pc has a digital input but my speakers are the logitech x530 and they don't allow inputs unless u convert the 5.1 plugs to av but is that the best way to do it?

    You can buy an official VGA cable for your 360, I did this and plugged my computer in via DVI.

    The VGA Cable comes with a phono (red and white a/v audio cables) to 3.5mm (your standard headphone connector) converter.

    There will be a connection at the end for your 360. It's like VGA to 360 and is available from all good electronic stores. I believe the lite is bundled with a audio dongle which allows surround sound, the 360 premium/core/arcade made need one of those depending on what type of stero system you are using.
