I require assistance - using LCD monitor as a TV with a console

So I got a LCD monitor, and need to use my ps3 & xbox 360 with it, not to watch tv on, but for video output.

This is my monitor, http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/d...roduct=3884701.

It has a DVI & VGA output. I heard I could use a DVI - HDMI adapter for the PS3 and it doesn't look li-

EDIT: Okay, nevermind, ps3 has an HDMI output so a DVI to HDMI adapter is fine, ps3 is set.

It looks like it can work out, now for the Xbox 360, do I need some kind of converter for the xbox 360? For other consoles?

Newer 360s have hdmi.

Apparently you can go from component to vga without a converter.

Nvm, that might only work from vga to component...

I've know that you can go from DVI to HDMI. I don't think it works the other way around.

Compatibility with DVI

A DVI signal is electrically compatible with the video part of an HDMI signal; no signal conversion is required when an adapter or asymmetric cable is used, and consequently no loss in video quality occurs.[3] As such, HDMI is backward-compatible with Digital Visual Interface digital video (DVI-D or DVI-I, but not DVI-A) as used on modern computer monitors and graphics cards. This means that a DVI-D source can drive an HDMI monitor, or vice versa, by means of a suitable adapter or cable. However, the audio and remote-control features of HDMI will not be available unless the output supports HDMI via a DVI plug (e.g., ATI 3000-series and NVIDIA GTX 200-series video cards).[3] Additionally, not all devices with DVI input support High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). Without such support by the device, an HDCP-enabled signal source will suppress output and so prevent the device from receiving HDCP-protected content.[89] All HDMI devices must support sRGB encoding.[90]
