I want to play Xbox 360 in High Definition but I don't have that much to spend so I figured I would just get a 22'' monitor.. is there any possible way to hook my Xbox up to the monitor and be able to play games in HD? I have heard about the VGA cable you need to buy but obviously it won't be able to connect because the monitor I want is modern and it has a DVI port. Can the Xbox hook up to a DVI port?

Hi,
I assume the Xbox has an HDMI port if it provides a high definition output? If so, you can use an HDMI to DVI cable to connect to the DVI input on the monitor. This will give you HD video, but will not carry the audio, so you will need a separate connection from the analogue audio output on the Xbox to the input on the monitor or speakers.
Alternatively if the monitor has an HDMI port (so do now) you can just use an HDMI - HDMI cable. You may still need an audio cable as well, as the monitor may not support HDMI audio.
