yes...xBox360 is completely Dx10 compatible, in the sense that it can display all the texture and lighting that Dx10 can display on the PC!! The lighting and shaders from XBox360 are one reason the visuals look so much stunning!!
How do you think Non-MS consoles have been working all this time?
Not really. It will actually look better on a TV. TV tuners are overated. They will display the game at the exact resolution that is supported on TV(520 or 480i or something). So, if you're running your monitor on a high resolution, you'll be playing out of a small window! If you try and reduce the resolution to make the playable window larger, the game will look like utter crap. This is because TV's have good scaling hardware which I believe is almost non-existant on a PC monitor. I could be wrong about this, though.

TV's don't have good scaling, they have just bad enough display quality themselves to hide any bad graphics.
PC monitors on the other hand bring out the detail in everything, good or bad.
Simply put:
Bad graphics will look 'ok' on a TV. Excellent graphics will look 'ok' on a TV.
Bad graphics will look bad on a monitor. Excellent graphics will look excellent on a monitor.

Ah! That actually makes more sense. I just forgot about the time I hooked my Gamecube to Chaos' monitor and how good it looked.
For a console like a PS2 that only supports 480P with a few of it's games. A regular CRT would do fine, or maybe an LCD that can do 480P. For an XBOX which has many games that can do 720P, an LCD would be really good, but still not absolutely required. For a 360 and PS3, a good HDTV is essential or a VGA cable that connects to a PC monitor.

The Geforce Ti series can beat Ps3.
But if graphics matters that much, why do you think Ps2 was the most successful gaming thing this world has ever seen while Wii, only slightly powerful than Ps2 and a lot weaker than Ps3 and X360 is sold-out all over the world?
