So I have those old box monitors (Benq V772) and I plan on purchasing an Xbox 360 Elite. Are there any possible to play it on this monitor? With maybe a cheap 3rd party hardware? If not, then I'll have to resort on upgrading my monitor The monitor only has one VGA cable sticking out, no other ports etc (except power cable).

Well if it has the VGA, there are tutorials on how to connect it all over Youtube. good ones too. But that monitor is old school and probably has bad picture

Most of the VGA tutorials requires an open VGA port into the monitor.

i say either buy a new 32" Tv. you can buy a Dynex for $250-300, they're really cheap

[/quote] Can you be more specific...? I don't get how this is supposed to work.. As I said, my monitor only has a VGA cable which goes out of the monitor, there are no other ports in the monitor.

Get a VGA to Av adapter cable. If you dont understand how it works then you lack common sense. Microsoft has vga to ac adapter cables. Google it

I'd suggest upgrading from I think your CRT to an LCD monitor/television.
