In particular my new 204b Samsung. I know the 360 has a vga pack, how will it look? Stretched? My monitor's native is 16X12.
There are also DVI to component input type boxes, converters etc. Any one have any experience with these?
Don't know something tells my the native res id to high to game with a 360 etc., ie 1080i
 
My guess is your Samsung will have a feature that allows you to scale the image. You can do a 1:1 scaling which will give you black bars around the picture but not do any scaling, or some monitors have a really good Aspect Ratio scaling which maintains the relative dimensions of the image and just makes it bigger. I can tell you from personal experience, the Aspect scaling on the Dell 2405 works very well with PS2 and Xbox if you are connected via component or SVideo (for PS2). If you can go component or VGA though thats the way to go.

Definitely do not use the "fill the screen" scaling if that is an option. It makes stuff look weird.
 
The 360 looks amazing on the 2405. I would think it would look great on your panel too.
