i know nothing about the 360, but common sense tells me HD = high definition.

So this one would be OK as i have a VGA, red and white connection on the back on my LCD TV?

It says it is a HD cable though?

The HD = High Definition. The image displays more crisp, but you need the monitor to support it.

Yes it should work. It sounds like your tv has built in speakers. The red and white cables are for your audio. That cable SHOULD work. It's not my responsibility if it doesnt though lol.

Make sure your TV supports HD. If not, then you will not see much of a difference in image quality, but seeing on how you have a VGA output, is it a white VGA output, because that would be DVI, and you monitor might just have HD.

That cable you pictured has the standard rca white/red audio out connectors along with the VGA out connector. That's it.

Cedar said somehting about a white VGA but not sure what he is on about so i will just get that cable, im not bothered if it doesnt make the picutre loads better all i want to see is a bit of difference to make the picture looks slightly better!
