i'm looking at a dell ultrasharp lcd monitor with component input. does anyone know if i can use the component inputs with like an xbox 360? will it be able to display in hdtv resolutions?

Not sure abotu XBox. The resolution is 1920x1200 on my 24" - plenty for HDTV.
You'll need a HD tuner card, though.

yes.. you can use component.. however, I would advise using VGA, so in the near future you'll be able to run it at 1080p (1920x1080).. I've got a Dell 24", although I use my 360 with my 1080p set.. Are you planning on getting the HD-DVD add on? Then I would especially recommend the VGA cables, as that's the only way you'll get the full detail out of it.. I'm not certain you can exceed 1080i from components on the Dells.

how do i connect the 360 via VGA?

you have to get the vga cables for 360.. $40.. if the difference means much to you. http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-V…

i had no idea there were vga cables for the 360. i was confused when i heard that there wasn't going to be an hdmi port in the new hd-dvd add-on. it makes more sense now. thanks.

also will this work with my mac mini? i currently use a syntax olevia 26" lcd vua dvi connection but the mac only recognizes 4:3 resolutions, so it's showing everything stretched.
