I want to connect my 360 to my monitor. My monitor supports both DVI and VGA. Right now, my monitor's DVI port is being taken up by my PC, though. Of course, my 360 outputs YPbPr and RCA and I want to have sound and the best video quality the 360 supports, at the same time putting it through my monitor. On my PC, I have a TV Tuner that supports S-Video in. I was wondering if I should get a YPbPr to VGA adpater and plug it into my monitor or use the traditional RCA and get an adapter for the yellow cord into S-Video and put it into my TV Tuner. Right now I've got my 360 plugged into a VCR through RCA and then goes to my Tuner, however, the button reaction time is rather long.

Get a YPbPr to VGA adapter for the best video. VGA IS YPbPr, just with a different pin-out.

Your component cables (YPbPr) are comprised of analog signals, just like the VGA connector. The only difference is that the monitor requires a vertical and horizontal sync signal as well, which just happens to be integrated in the component cables. All this means is when you go from your xbox to component, then to vga, you introduce some noise in your signal due to processing. This may be negligable, or it may not. Follow the link below, this will cancel out the middle man (your component cables) and improve your signal.
Also, be careful with the aspect ratio, TV's and computer monitors can be different display ratios. Good luck!

you can buy a component VGA cable from eBay go for the American ones as there a hell of a lot cheaper its a rip off in this country(£98) i think mine cost about £25 i use mine from DVD to projector as my projector has VGA and my DVD is ypbpr.I'm virtually positive it should work but it does not carry sound so you will have to run a red and white audio cable to sound system.good look.

Converters are never a good idea unless you are desperate.
I would buy a DVI switch (2 to one) so you can connect both your PC and the Xbox via DVI.
Gefen is a top brand, you can go cheaper as well
