Hi all,

I am looking for a good 24" monitor. I want maximum video inputs including hdmi, component so that i can connect my 360 and ps3 at the same time.

Can you people please recommend me some?

No dell as i find their design pretty boring.

One more question:

Few monitors have hdmi and/or component, composite. etc inputs.

Let's say i connect my 360 with the component port, how am i supposed to get the audio? How exactly it will input the audio?

Few monitors comes with RC audio input, but not all have them. So how does one inputs the audio from their console (and then outputs) the audio?

Please let me know

Thanks!
 
I don't know about connecting 360. As for the monitor BenQ V2400W is you want something stylish, G2400W(D) if you want the same for less money and probably with lower input-lag.

I thought the V2400W and the G2400WD were exactly the same when it comes to quality/lag? The only difference being their physical aesthetic.
 
Both are good for an HDMI equipped Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, and are definitely usable for Xbox 360 over VGA, just not at 1920x1080 resolution. It is usable, but they stretch it to 1920x1200 for some reason and don't allow any of the aspect ratio controls to work.

Ultimately for the OP, your audio problem is best solved by a pair of computer speakers or the Z-5500 from Logitech, where you can connect the audio out via optical from the Xbox 360.

The BenQ FP241VW is still an excellent choice for Xbox 360 because, if it's May 2007 or later build date, has perfect scaling for component, VGA, HDMI and DVI, low input lag for PC (around 9ms at native rez or 1920x1080) and headphone out jack.

With HDMI, both BenQ V2400W/G2400WD and FP241VW will take the audio portion and send it to the headphone jack as stereo.

Thanks a lot guys, specially 10e for the response.

So my guess is, whichever monitor has an HDMI input must also have a headphone jack output. Am i right?

How's the LG L246WP-BN ? It has component and HDMI.

BTW what is an MVA and PVA lcd?

Thanks for the help so far. :)
