Can I play the XBOX360 in this monitor, I will get sound If I turn on it´s built-in speakers ?? PLS ANSWER

[MN12BIRD]

@Gonza3330 Yes I've played PS3 on it with HDMI and the sound works great.

Are you familiar with the brand AOC?

if so, do they make good monitors?

[MN12BIRD]

@joshbot360 Seen 'em before. They're nothing special just generic cheap monitors. Probably similar to Acers or something. Nothing wrong with Acer though, I mean some of them look good too! Some of em don't always last as long but who can say. They might or might not last a long time.

Would VGA be the Computer equivalent to Composite on a TV (Red, Yellow, White)?

[MN12BIRD]

@joshbot360 Nope VGA is equivalent to RGB and it's capable of FullHD resolutions.

@joshbot360 Oh and I've dropped it twice (I used to travel everywhere with it), which caused a small crack in the back casing but it never caused an issue on the actual display, so that gives you an idea how sturdy it is.

[Inferno50640]

@joshbot360 I have an AOC Envision 24" LCD tv and it's great, I've been using it since roughly 2007-2008 and I haven't had any issues with it and I've taken it everywhere, the only problem is that it only has one HDMI port, but since you're using it as a computer monitor then that's not an issue.

@MN12BIRD Because i was hesitant to get one with my new computer, my mom got one also and i was stunned at the picture quality. Its an LED 24" Monitor and it was cheap, although it is a little flimsy around the stand.

@MN12BIRD Many thanks
