I don't think he's asking if its ok, he's saying it is the best and cheapest.

If you want the cheapest and best, go with a 19" crt monitor.  You can pick up one for under $100, easily.   CRT's have better black levels and no motion blur (two of which you will get with any LCD...even the 6m/s ones).  YOu cannot beat CRT for picture quality.  But they do weigh, and take up much more space then LCD's.

I have a 61" Samsung dlp hdtv and the 360 looks so much better on the 61" then smaller displays...

But as said above if you want cheapest a 19" crt will do the trick.

I play my 360 on THIS baby at 1280x1024 Widescreen and i ABSOLUTLEY LOVE IT.  I tried it at that 1366x768 resolution or whatever but  the picture looks much sharper at 1280x1024 so i leave it there.  Its a bit more expensive then that samsung one at best but and not as responsive (the samsung is 4ms and mine is 8ms) but i see no blurr or anything.  Plus mine is 20.1" so that makes it alllllllllllllll goooooooooood. lol.

I got a standard def 27" suckerz laugh.gif . I also play on my sony (model unknown) 15" lcd moniter. Its 1024x768 and its pretty sweet picture quality, except when someone signs in or something like that its really messed up. And i have to hook it up to the vga port on my 360 tongue.gif ,but then i cant get no dolby digital cuz it only has a stero output thing next to it.

got a 65 inch HD, but if you are talking about decent monitors, i just got a Hanns G 19 inch LCD for $99 after rebates, 8ms so its supposed to be good for gaming, although i havent tested it as such.
