VGA on 21" HD monitor?

[mildgamer001]

I know this isnt the right section for this, there were no sections for monitors that i saw. Anyway, i am looking into a new computer monitor, an acer 21.5" to use for my xbox360 that i have a vga converter cord for (which i use right now to play on my old 17 inch monitor) The new monitor has full HD and its over 20 inches, would it use a DVI port or a VGA? do they usually have both? i need either a vga port, HDMI, (which are easy to find VGA-HDMI converters), or for it to have a port for VGA as well.

Also, when you use an HDMI/DVI-VGA converter, would it change the signal so i still get HD graphics from the xbox? or will it just make it so i have 720p graphics on a 1080i/p monitor?

the monitor is an acer g215h
thanks.

Most monitors come with both VGA and/or DVI, HDMI. They make a DMI to VGA conneters. I am pretter sure your new monitor does come with a VGA hook up. Have you looked at the specs on your new monitor? It should tell you what inputs you have.

to get the best possible picture you should use dvi or hdmi connections.....not the vga

well it said it only had DVI and another type of DVI i think, but i already have the VGA xbox cord, my question is, will it be hd if i use the converter even though it still has to go through a VGA wire?

I don't know for sure but even if it does the graphics will not be as good, than using a HDMI of a DVI cable.
