I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this, so don't shoot me if it isn't. I just bought the following moniter for cheap:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...cat152400050000&type=product&id=1188438406684
..and I've got a few (noob) questions.
-First off, will the Xbox 360 even work with this moniter? I noticed it's not HDCP-compliant, does this have any effect on the 360?
-Apparently the moniter doesn't have built in speakers.. How would I go about getting audio? I still have the RCA cable that came with the Xbox and I also have a RCA to headphone (3.5mm?) adapter. Would computer speakers work?
-There's VGA and DVI-D inputs. MS has VGA & HDMI cables. The lowest price I see for VGA cables is $30, HDMI costs even more. I was considering getting a cheap standard non-MS HDMI cable for ~$4 and then an HDMI to DVI-D dongle to hook up to the moniter, here's the link for the dongle:

Would this work? If it does, how exactly do I get audio? I have the MS RCA (or whichever is white,red,yellow) cable that came with the 360 if that makes a difference.
And yes, my Xbox 360 has the HDMI input. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
EDIT: Just found this, would it work? Doesn't look MS brand, but I've ordered from iTrimming.com before with positive results. Still need to know how to get audio though
