Alienware OptX Monitor - Hardware & Software

I am interested in getting a new monitor and I was wondering if anyone has Alienware OptX Monitor, is it good? I am also wondering if it has DVI connectivity not just HDMI. If you have any other suggestions for good monitors under 300$ feel free to tell me. Thanks!

Why would you even consider it? [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001389[/url]

Never buy from alienware. Usually their quality is less than desirable and the prices are more than reasonable.

Do you have an HDMI cable for your Xbox 360? If so, then this is another good monitor: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824005150[/url]

ok thank you, I also have one more question. Does HDMI and DVI have the same picture quality? thanks

If you want to connect your Xbox 360 to a monitor just buy one with SCART connection, which sucks or HDMI connection for much better quality. *If you buy a monitor with HDMI connection, be careful, because some monitors don't support full HD.
