if you get an LCD tv they pretty much all have vga connections so could be used as a tv, for your xbox and for a monitor but the only problem is that most have low resolutions. unless you are a serious xbox modder you can not use a standard monitor directly with an xbox (although it is possible if you like soldering........a lot) you could use a video card with vivo or a tv tuner to show your xbox screen on the monitor through the computer though
