Alright, so now that i have your attention! Here is my question.

I got a new pc and it have a HDMI port in the back of it, i was wondering if i could somehow hook up my 360 in that port and have my xbox hooked to my screen this way, or should i really just go out and get myself a sort of adapter to plug my hdmi in my screen?

Ive plugged the HDMI and it does nothing to the computer when i turn the xbox on, but when i shut the xbox my screen turn black for a second then back to normal display...why?

Thanks in advance to teh Tech guys!

Chances are it's an output. I've yet to see a computer with an HDMI input. So yes, you need to get an adapter. HDMI-->DVI, most likely. Shouldn't cost more than thirty bucks.

I like pie.

Are you using the proprietary MS HDMI cable for the 360? I believe that's the only one that will work.

Tried fucking about for a while with something similar to this, best I could get was about 2 seconds of xbox on the screen before all the BIOS stuff took over. Easier just to pay up £2 for an adaptor.

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

Chances are the DVI is an output too?

He meant get the adapter to hook into the DVI on the monitor.

Because it's a PC monitor so it has PC inputs, and the whole "full HD" is just marketing hype.
