Hi guys! I'm planning to get a Xbox 360 next month together with Dell E228WFP 22" LCD monitor. The 2407 is way beyond my budget... is this monitor good enough for my future Xbox 360? The price is sweet for a 22" widescreen LCD. Any other good suggestions besides dell?

Actually was planning to play using my GF's Sony Bravia 46" LCD TV but there is no internet connection over there and besides, it is not my house... cant stay there whole day and play.

Actually I looking for those that can give me 12 months instalment one. thanks for ur advice!

Another thing is I will not get any sound if I connect Xbox 360 to LCD monitor, what is that thing that you connect the red and white cable to and the other end connect to PC speakers. Can I get that thing at lelong? Thanks!

Anyone can help me on connecting Xbox 360 to PC speakers (without RCA input). Thanks!

I'm not in KL... BTW guys, is the Dell 22" LCD good enough for Xbox 360?? Heard plenty of bad reviews about this monitor... I don't think I can get the samsung one here in Kuching.

Yo guys... I finally placed my order on Dell E228WFP 22". With the existing 3 years warranty, I paid extra RM38 for another year. Guess no one here is using this for Xbox 360 or PS3, so I'm "sacrificing" myself as guinea to test it out first. Actually I have heard some pretty good things about this monitor from HK users and the price is right for me. Guess it is no harm buy it for future use (I'm getting Xbox 360 soon and no I don't have a PC and currently using laptop)... anyway, should I buy third party VGA cable or the official one from MS for Xbox? Is there any difference in the visual quality? Thanks!

Thanks! Guess I'll be getting the official one since it comes together with a connector which lets you connect to PC speakers. Saves me the trouble to look for one here in Kuching.

Just receive my Dell 22" LCD and I'm using it post this message. Everything look so clear and nice and damn... 22" already seem very huge for a monitor! I've been using 15" all the while.

No dead/stuck pixel so far and there is some slight backlight leaking problem, but I guess I can live with it. Will probably get my Xbox 360 in these two weeks, will let u guys know how's the quality....

Yup, after I reduced the brightness it does reduce a bit but still noticeable. Guess I cant be complaining too much since it is only using TN panel.

Yes, there is a button letting u switch between digital and analog input.

Yes, the Dell 22" does support PS3 because its DVI port is HDCP (am I right here?) compliant. But hear my advice, if u can afford just get the 24" version. A little bit regret here for buying the 22", the reso it supports is alang alang IMO... can say it is an impulse purchase though...

Just got my VGA cable from PA this afternoon... first of all, I'm using the Ori VGA cable, it comes with a converter which let u connect to PC speakers and a gender converter. Quality wise for this monitor... kinda average only. I've been using my old 29" Toshiba CRT for the past few days playing my Xbox 360 and I can tell you the color is 3x better than the LCD... I'm not sure whether is the setting problem or not but the colors just don't look as nice. Another problem is this monitor does indeed stretches the screeen a little bit. It's not really serious though... So, if your budget allows I would just have to say get the 24" version. If not the 22" is good enough if u r not too picky. It's neither excellent nor bad but accepatble. BTW, it is good for a PC monitor.

Ah yes, I'm suing 1366 x 768. The best so far.

I have tried that. Somehow it plays GoW in letterbox format and stretches tha whole thing side way. So guys, just get the ultra sharp series, no money? SAVE FOR IT!

WTF!!! The Dell 22" now only sell for RM999!! I bought it for RM1239!!! Damn u dell!!

*sigh...* due to my stupid car loan, now I would have to settle with monitor instead. Another 2 years my car loan will finish and 1080p LCD TV, here I come! Hopefully at that time <RM5k can get me a 1080p LCD TV.

Hahaha... maybe I should smash everything around me 'cause I bought mine for RM1239 two months ago...

Good for u... I didn't do that because I wasn't aware that I could ask for refund...

Get dell, though the quality may not be as good but consider yourself getting a good deal because the monitor is just only RM989... but IF you can afford and got extra cash to spend, I would say get the 24". I never seen one in action though but my friend who has seen both the 22" and 24", he told me that the color on the 24" is so much better than the 22". If I didn't get my 22" ealier, I probably got the 24" during the pc fair deal.

So, just my 20 cents... ultimately the 24" is much better for gaming.
