Ok, so I just bought a Viewsonic VX2450wm-LED monitor locally on craigslist. The specs can be seen on the following Amazon link:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003Y3BJ7S

Now I bought the monitor for $50, and it works flawlessly. However, I made a really rookie mistake, and forgot to check the specs before I bought it. The monitor has no HDMI port.

I'm mainly going to use the monitor for work, but I also bought a 360 because I was planning on gaming here and there on the monitor also. The only way I can seemingly do this is by using a DVI to HDMI adapter.

I have no experience in these adapters. Has anyone used them? Does the picture quality suffer? Any other drawbacks I should know about?

Thanks.

Nope. Just get the adapter and hook it up. Should work fine.

Works just fine. Doing it with my Xbox actually. They are both digital signals so the quality is the same. You won't get audio through your monitor though.

Wasn't aware of that. I use external speakers, they'll work right?

As long as you connect to the speakers to the Xbox.
