My friend does that but I don't know how he does it I'm afraid. So I know it is possible.

Most Pc screen have no HDMI Input, but VGA so you need to have the VGA cable...in the elite version it is included i dont know if it is in the others versions...if your Screen has more than one input you can switch between xbox and pc....Like HDMI also VGA can reproduce the 1080p (highest resolution) signal...so check out what input your screen has..

You're best off buying a HD TV and plugging both into that. It's awesome. X Box and PC media on a 40" screen

My friends parents bought him this tv screen that he hooks up his tower to so he has computer. And I'm pretty sure there just on different things(like 1 is component and one is video)

Aslong as you get a xbox and monitor that both have HDMI connectors, then it's no problem. I use my xbox on both my monitor and TV.

Or you can use the VGA-kit in the url a few posts up

I had the old one for my original xbox and it worked great!
