i use my 2005 for xbox 360. its fine but i have never been happy with the amount of backlight bleed mine suffers from or the depth of black it produces. if you could afford a few quid more how about this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000F4NNWS/qid=1145617755/sr=2-2/ref=sr_2_3_2/203-4381190-5116708[/url] |

It looks like you're going a little bigger than what I have, but the ViewSonic VA1912wb runs the 360 wonderfully. |

for those who r using the 2005fpw, wat kind of connection are u using? I was looking at some specs and they dont mention VGA, am i mistaken or is it true that there is no vga. |

I run my 360 on my 2405FPW through the component cables. I have the 360 set to run 1080i through the dashboard. I think it looks better on this monitor than it does on my 52'' widescreen HDTV that fully supports 1080i. The colors are awesome. I originally hooked the 360 up to the 2405 just to try it out, now it hasn't moved from there. |

blast, you can buy the 360 vga cable. simple as that. the vga has rca outputs as well to go directly into a stereo or speaker system. i have to use a male to male rca joiner then from that go rca to headphone 3mm jack which i can plug into the back of my speakers. if you buy the genuine 360 vga cable you can also have optical out which is handy if you have a digital surround system that supports it. no optical cable is provided though.... |

You'll get an even sharper picture if you try the VGA cable, the downside is the colours arent quite as good, theyre as little washed out. |
