Ha, I gamed for a long time through my computer monitor with my PS3.. finally got a TV recently. What part are you missing to hook it up? HDMI should do it.

Oh really, i havent tried it yet. My TV just shit out a few days ago and from what i was reading on the internet sound is the only problem with gaming through a monitor.
Good to hear thats not the case. My computer has a bitching sound system. BRB going to preorder GTAV now

I'm usually pretty bad with technology stuff but I think HDMI just covers all the bases. I have my monitor hooked up to my computer with that blue cord, I think it's VGA or something and that doesn't come with sound... I need a separate green cord for the sound. But the only thing I needed for my PS3 to work with my monitor was an HDMI, covered visual and audio 
Yea I'm excited though, just 8 days until it's released!

Sound will not go through that thing
for my ps3 I have the hdmi hooked in
then I have a component cable attached to microphones, because on the ps3 you can select what you output audio with
I'd check the internet first to see if xbox is hdcp or hpcp or something compliant, but the internet is known to be wrong on stuff like that so don't get you hopes up, they told me it'd work and it didnt..

in 2006 I had my laptop (HP DV9000, the first 17" 'desktop replacement' on the market) to one of the late-model tube TVs via S video, with a headphone cable splitter into L and R audio out... Back in those days it startled people to see Windows come up on a TV.
Now-a-days, even netbooks come with HDMI out-- makes cooking everything up a cinch. That said, if you've got a gaming computer monitor, you may need to convert to DVI... mine and many others do not have an HDMI port.
If you do need one, you can find a cheap HDMI-to-DVI cable here. You'll just need to figure out audio.

I have an HDMI cable.
After some googling looks like i need to buy some hardware. I need to buy the ryg cable thing that the HDMI replaces, an RCI jack and a female adapter.

Both the HDMI computer monitors I have have built in speakers, they're not very good though. Possible yours has them and you don't realize it. Not sure about hooking up HDMI and A/V cables to a 360 at the same time, the A/V cable I have blocks the HDMI port.

You can take a knife and pull apart the plastic casing that blocks the hdmi port.
