What sort of price are you looking at mate?

Also, will you be connecting the xbox through HDMI?

If you go for an actual TV you may find that your PC will only output in 720p unless you buy a 1080p TV which will probably be more than your budget. That will make windows very annoying to use

As an avid fan of Iiyama monitors, I'd strongly recommend that above. I went to the 26" version after an Iiyama 19" TFT and before that, an Iiyama 19" CRT.

Great pieces of kit.

Without going and looking at all the other monitors on eBuyer I reckon this seems like a good call - it's got HDMI and DVI, so if you paired this up with a HDMI switching box (cheap off eBay) then you could have the PC coming in through the DVI and an xbox + freeview coming through the HDMI (if you wanted TV on it)
