Do what my friend has done.

he bought a HD TV(its not massive) for his comp,SKY, and 360.

all on one screen with out the fuss of changing cables over, unless your computer monitor has more than one source.

Yes, you will most likely have to get the VGA HD Cable though, not the component.
 
Either get a new tv tht has inputs for all your electronics, including your pc, or a monitor tht has inputs for all your electronics.

I have a tv tuner in my pc so i dont need a tv. Im going to college next year and plan on simply buying a samsung 244t. It has plenty of inputs. I also have a homne theatre system with a bunch of inputs and outputs, and a projector for big screen movies and video games. I dont need an actual TV set, i'll use my comp and its monitor.

If your not looking to buy new display sets, get splitters/adaptors for your monitor, and/or the xbox vga cables.

However, i dont see how/why your tv sucks. I lpayed my 360 on an hd set for a long time before upgrading and had barely any problems (only in text heavy games cuz the text is optimized for 720p and higher, even tho most ppl dont actually have hd sets yet.. which is extremely dumb) and even now i only have an ED projector, Its not even hd.
 
There are little boxes that you can buy and that converts S-video and RCA (the three wires, red white and yello) into VGA or DVI depending on what model you get, so that way you can play your Xbox on a monitor.
