Question:

Will using an LCD monitor with my Xbox 360 be any improvement on SDTV by itself?

I was thinking of buying an LCD monitor to dedicate to my Xbox 360 and wondered if this enhances the image quality at all compared to bog standard SDTV's, etc?Also, is there such a thing as an HD Monitor and if so where can I find one in the UK?Thanks.

Answer:

No, the LCD is bad to use with a game console.
Mostly all new monitors use HD resolution now standard, getting a lcd will improve the quality as it will be HD, you have to look for one that has 1080i or 720p. HDTV has two official resolutions, 1280x720 progressive and 1920x1080 interkaced or psf (progressive with segmented frames, like film). (YES I KNOW there is also 1080p but the above 2 are good enough) Get a monitor that does either of these (or above) and your good to go. EDIT to find one go to pcworld they will be helpful there I recomend the purchace :)
