How Can I Make My 360 Play on My PC Monitor?

In 2005, Microsoft began the seventh generation of console gaming with the release of the Xbox 360. As with all home consoles, you must hook up the Xbox 360 to a television prior to starting and playing any of its video games. But if you have a PC monitor that has component ports, you can attach your Xbox 360 to it and play your games through the monitor instead of getting a separate television.
