Alright, so I've been looking around for a 1080p monitor that is less than 500 bucks....and isn't as small as a baby. I wanted to hook up my 360 to it and sit it next to my 24" monitor, so it couldn't be small but it couldn't be abnormally large.

I stumbled upon this....Hanns-G!

So I'm looking at it, and it comes with a D-Sub to YPbPr cable, which is AWESOME! Sad thing is, They are MALE connectors, and not female. So I also found these two two gems.

So I can hook up the audio to my computer, and go through my nice sound system.

So I can hook up the Converter Cable to my 360. But here's the problem.

Will those couplers work? They're meant to be used for Audio, but I'm going to be using them for video....not sure if that will work.

Also will the D-Sub to YPbPr cable work in general? I was originally going to get an XCM Converter box which basically does what that cable does but it costs 60 bucks. I'm confused how it costs so much for that while it looks like it costs less than 2 cents here....

Thanks in advanced for your input, it is much appreciated!

What would that have to do about my setup?

My 360 only has component :( Plus I'd rather route the audio through my sound system, which is currently hooked up to my computer (But does have a Line In).

Crap those links did not work. But i mean the Asus 25,5 or IIyama 26''

The Hans G is no longer available here. It's a great bang for the buck. But kinda cheap look compared to Asus, some Samsung or IIyama. Although they get good reviews.
